Can you get pregnant after removing the intrauterine device?

Patient's question:

Just had the ring removed, can I get pregnant after the next menstrual period? Please, please can you get pregnant after having the contraceptive ring removed?

Doctor's answer:

After removing the IUD, it is best to wait for 3 months before getting pregnant. The IUD can cause the endometrium to experience aseptic inflammation again, and the uterine fluid may change again. As a foreign object inside the uterus, the IUD can affect the implantation of the fertilized egg, thereby overcoming the purpose of breastfeeding. A progesterone-containing IUD can cause the endometrium to expand. Regardless of how long the IUD has been in place, as a foreign object, it will inevitably cause some harm and interference to the endometrium, which is not conducive to the growth and development of the embryo or fetus. To have a healthy and lively baby, when planning to get pregnant, wait for 2-3 normal menstrual cycles before conceiving, so as to give the endometrium time to repair, which is beneficial for eugenics.
