Mirena IUD Removal & Fertility: What to Expect

Question
I have the mirena IUD and I have a apointment for it to be removed what is the average time after removal to get pregnant

Answer
Dear Shannon,

Fertility should return to normal after removal of Mirena. You may become pregnant during the first menstrual cycle after Mirena is removed - there should be no delay caused by the Mirena itself.

According to the Mirena website, "Studies show that the chances of getting pregnant after discontinuing Mirena are similar to those of women who had not been using any method of birth control."

Hope that helps you and answers your question. I wish you well and good luck!  :-)
