how long does it take for period to return

I never really have periods on IUD's. I had my last IUD for 3 years and no periods (ok, maybe pinkish tint here and there, but that's all). I had it removed in January of '05 and was told by my MD to use condoms the first two months after the IUD removal to minimize an ectopic pregnancy.  We did.  We waited until mid-March, and we were pregnant right away.  Our due date was 12/23/05.  I now have my 2nd IUD. It's been 1 1/2 and still no period. I stopped nursing 7months ago.  Anyway, it seems that my periods returned almost right away.

Is this possible??? I had my IUD removed almost 3 weeks ago.  My period is a couple of days late, which Never happens. I was waiting for my period to start so I could start my pill. I did a pregnancy test today: It is POSITIVE!!!! How did that happen? It's alright...I think know the answer...

I had the IUD for two years.  Unfortunatley the string was too short and when I decided to have it removed I had to have it surgically removed.  I did this the end of July and now that Im reading some more on conception after IUD removal and how it is common for a ectopic pregnancy Im freaked out.  I never had periods on the IUD and I started to cycle three days after the removal.  It lasted about four days and now Im spotting and im not sure if its due to intercourse or if my body is still trying to be regular.  Any ideas?

I found this on a website, I too am freaked out about IUD removal.  I am scheduled to have it removed at the end of this month. And almost evertyhing I am reading is scaring the heck  out of me . I Hope it helps you, I found some compfort in it.


"After removal of the IUD, the inflammatory reaction rapidly disappears. Resumption of fertility after removal of both copper-bearing and levonorgestrel- releasing IUDs is rapid and occurs at the same rate as resumption of fertility after the discontinuation of barrier methods of contraception.9 The incidence of term deliveries, spontaneous abortion, and ectopic pregnancies in conceptions occurring after IUD removal is the same as in the general population not using any form of contraception."

I had a miscarriage in october 2006 and had to have a DNC in november.  A couple of weeks after, I had the IUD put in.  In April 2007, my husband and I decided to try and concieve so I had it removed.  It took about 2 months for my cycle to start and I bled continuously for about 4 wks.  I have not had another cycle since.  I'm starting to get worried because we desperately want to concieve but I'm afraid that something is wrong.  In all the forums I've read, no one has had an experience like mine and I'm wondering if I should consult my doctor.  Any advice?

I just had mine removed as well.  I had a cycle(what I thougt was a cycle).  If it was my first cycle after the iud then Im due now for Augusts cycle.  I will post more comments to keep you updated.  I would also contact your doctor to keep him/her aware of your situation.
