You had a Mirena IUD for four years you had it removed two months ago how long until you are pregnant?

This is a really distressing answer and to me seems completely negative and uninformed, where do you base you information from?? You say this like there is no exception! And for those out there trying to get pregnant after having a mirena IUD this type of answer could be very disheartening and cause undue stress.

For each women the answer to this question is different.

So to try and help I will share my experience and hopes it sheds some light and hope x

I had my mirena in for a year and had it removed september 9 so my husband and I could try and concieve. I know for myself after coming of a hormonal contraceptive things can be a bit up and down and can take time for your body to get back on track. I was pretty irregular on iud but my periods didn't stop.

I started a course of FEMZONE a natural course of pills availale from naturopath or health food store after advice. It helps to regulate periods and pms and is also great for women who experience a slight hormonal imbalance after removal.

Anyway I had my period after the removal and started a spread sheet to keep track of what was going on with my body. I knew that in a standard cycle of 28days you generally ovulate on around the 14th day (this of course varies woman to woman) but is a great indicator of the timing of things. I got another period a few weeks later and then a few weeks after that started feeling a bit off colour, very definate signs of pregnancy.

I have had 3 positive tests and my husband and I are very happy.

The important thing is to understand your own body and know how to track it.

After talking to doctors and friends who have had merena removed it can take anywhere from 3 - 12 cycles to concieve, if its longer than this just talk to your doctor.

The main reason for early pregnancy miscarriages after the mirena is because one of the ways it works is it thins out the linings of your uterus which stops eggs imbedding.

Enjoy the time with your husband trying to concieve and dont worry too much, things happen in their own time xx

Answer

1-3 years for IUDs. Usually within the first 18 months though. Some women never get pregnant after that and carry it full term... it either ends in a period, or miscarriage.
