We've decided to try for baby #2 so I'm going in to have my IUD removed..I have the copper something or rather type of IUD, I don't remember the pharmecutical given name but I do know that it is the one that is completely free of any & all hormones (the copper in the IUD kill the sperm for those who may have been wondering how this contraceptive works). So my question is this..knowing that the IUD I have is free of hormones my body really shouldn't have to do much to adjust after I have it removed other than healing a little bit from having a foreign object in it, should it?! And if this is the case, how long, (on average) I know every situation is different) should it take for me to conceive again...I realize I could conceive in the 1st month, if I got an ovulation kit & tried every trick & tip out there but I guess it's not so important that we conceive right away but more so having an idea of long it could take and/or what to expect..I appreciate any & all comments anyone may have.

Return to Fertility After IUD Removal
Removal is easily accomplished by grasping the string with any appropriate clamp and pulling with firm traction. If the string cannot be visualized, gently rotating the cytologic brush within the cervical canal as described previously can be used to locate the string. So long as the IUD is then found to be intrauterine, it can be removed with a Facit ureteral stone forceps directed to where the device was localized. If the IUD cannot be grasped using the forceps, then removal with sonographic guidance or via hysteroscopy is necessary. If the patient wishes to continue using an IUD, a new device can be placed at the time of removal so long as infection is not present.
Fertility returns promptly after removal (Table III). Pregnancy rates in women who have the IUD removed because of a desire to become pregnant are similar to those in women who discontinued use of other methods of contraception.[35] In women involved in monogamous relationships, there is no evidence of an increased risk of infertility after IUD use.

My doctor told me (and all the medical sites I've researched online agree) that it should be possible to conceive immediately after the IUD has been removed... at least with the non-hormonal kind like you have. It would seem like your body might need a little time to recover from having a foreign object in it, but that's just the mystery of the IUD (gotta love birth control methods that even the doctors don't fully understand, right? ;-) ). It doesn't interfere with ovulation at all, though, only conception, so it shouldn't affect ovulation once it's removed. Good luck!
