simple answer>>>> YES it is safe to start trying right away regardless of what IUD you have

some girls it will take a year or longer... i got pregnant on my first try after my mirena removal after having it for 5 years

really? cuz  it's really none of our business if she's ready or not.. to give an adivce like that seems to be personal. give someone to think about having a baby is ok again like i said if she asked for it!!!

No I totally get that. I wasn't saying about anyone being immature. I just wanted to inform her about what it actually entails to have a baby. When she first posted, there was no age up on her profile, so I just wanted to inform her on some things. I answered her question too. Like I said, I was not being judgemental in any way - simply offering advice and information.

I usually say the same to most people asking about trying for a baby because you get SO many young girls/teenagers who think having a baby with their boyfriends is some romantic, amazing thing and that they will have a cute baby and live happily ever after - I just remind them of the reality of it, which most of them need to be honest. I'm not implying in any way the poster is like that, I was just giving general advice.

idk if anyone looked at her profile but it says she's 31.....i would say she's probably mature enough to know what comes with starting a family.  just sayin.

These are all things she is going to have to think about. I went to my son's basketball practice with my 6 month old son that had just spent the last 2 days crying and whining because he cut 2 teeth at once. There was a very young girl sitting behind my daughter and I and she kept saying how cute my son was and she can't wait for her and her boyfriend to start having intercourse to have a baby. I got up and moved. Its hard. In no way was Kitkat being judgmental. Simply stating the facts of how hard it is to bring a baby into the world without being financially and emotionally stable. I went through it. I had my first at the age of 15. Its really hard.  She asked the real questions. Maybe this lady will think about these things and. Consider them if these oriorities are in order. It takes alot of hard work to raise a baby especially if you're not ready.

I was not judging in any way shape or form. I was getting her to think about all the things that need to be properly thought through when you begin trying for a baby. If I was going to be judgemental then I wouldn't have bothered posting trying to help.

Usually it takes a few months to get a cycle. Once you have your cycle back, it's best to go through two cycles. That's what I did. When I stopped taking my birth control pills, I didn't have a period for two months. Once my period returned, I got pregnant after I had two full cycles.

It's not a personal question at all. All I was simply doing was letting her know what it takes to raise a baby and that was she FULLY prepared for what it entails. Many aren't and thinks it's all cute and lovely when in actual fact it's not. It's expensive and stressful and a baby puts a strain on a relationship so she needs to be prepared for that. All I was doing with my questions was trying to get her to think about them.

It was not a rude comment at all. I didn't say you HAD to be married, I asked if she was. Going be statictics relationships out with a marriage and a child don't tend to last as long. You get many people that don't know exactly what it takes to raise a child and I was trying to inform her to think about everything fully. You need to not be so sensitive if you're going to come into these forums and take information as needed. If you don't like what you see, then simply move on.

thats a personal question kitkat1306.. they seem to know what there doing she didnt asked how to prepare for a baby she asked when its possible to have one.. personally i would take that as a rude comment only becus im not married yet but we both have job n ready to have a child im 13wks.. obviously she knows the circumstances of having a child or she would of asked a different question..

to durhman it depends on ur body n when ur cycle comes.. but i would also talk to my dr to make sure :) goodluck chicky!

You're best to consult with a doctor obviously but give yourself time for your cycles to straighten out and you can probably start trying right away.
Are you and your boyfriend planning on getting married? Are you both working? Have a stable income? Have a home, cars etc? You really need all these things to be able to provide a baby with what it needs and deserves. Babies aren't cheap and cost A LOT of money.
