Answer 2

To be honest I don't think having an iud will affect your chances too much. I became pregnant the first month of trying after having mine removed after 2 years.

The amount of hormones released by an iud are pretty minimal, which I why I use it, anything stronger makes me very ill.

If you had the same one in for 6 years then the hormones will have been slowly getting less anyway.

If you are trying for a baby, even having had no previous contraception, it can take up to two years before a lot of doctors will consider testing. Certainly a year minimum.

Don't forget, you are only actually fertile one day a month, as the egg only survives approximately 24 hours. Sperm can live up to a week sometimes (though it's usually up to 5 days max), but they still need to be around in the week up to your ovulation date!

From your dates, 24-01 to 26-02 you had a 33 day cycle this time, which means you will have ovulated probably 12-02, (14 days before this period started), not on 07-02 (14 days after your last period started) as you might think.

This shows that timing is key as there is a 5 day window where you may not have felt it necessary to try, assuming you had already ovulated, when in actual fact those 5 days were CRUCIAL to conception, any sex before then would have been useless (apart from being fun and for practice!)

The 14 days after your period is a common mistake (unless you have exactly a 28 day cycle each time). The phase after ovulation up to your next period is called the luteul phase, and is rarely anything over or under 14 days, give or take a day either side. So the number of days after your period before ovulation can vary each month if the length of your cycle varies.

I would suggest charting, I use Fertility Friend which is online and free, so that you can try to predict your ovulation date.

Also, I swear by the book Taking Charge of Your Fertility (tcoyf) by Toni Weschler, both for conception and for avoiding pregnancy naturally (if you are suitable).

The good thing is that your period has arrived pretty much bang on time, which means your cycles haven't been affected and are back to normal.

Please try charting though, and good luck!

dont get down,i know thats easy for me to say,as i fully understand how you feel when that dreaded period comes when you really dont want it to.i had the coil for 4yrs,then had it removed and was pregnant the next month,each individual is different,but hopefully it wont be long before you're on this site asking pregnancy questions,good luck and hope all goes well.

Answer 4

It took me 6 months to get pregnant and to be honest i nearly drove myself nutty especially when that time of month came around. I was looking at lunar charts and all sorts. Relax and try not to think about it too much, i got pregnant when i decided to stop and if it happened,great!! My son is now 8 weeks old and thriving.Good Luck!!!!!

Answer 5

You can get pregnant as early as your first cycle without using the IUD, but that's unusual (though it did happen to my girlfriend.) Most people take longer to get pregnant than one cycle-please don't give up yet. Chart your cycles, monitor your fertility signs, and hopefully, you'll concieve soon enough.
