How Long Should It Take to Get Pregnant After Removing IUD?
Question
Answer
Last Updated: December 13, 2014
You can greatly enhance your odds of conceiving by learning to chart your cycles. You will be able to observe your body recovering from the IUD, and identify precisely which days you can conceive. It takes a lot of the stress out of “trying”. Using this method to achieve pregnancy, 76% of women with normal fertility will conceive in the very first cycle, and 98% will conceive by the 6th cycle. You can consult our website for someone who can assist you in your region.
