Patient's question:
How long after taking out the IUD can you get pregnant?Doctor's answer:
After removing the IUD, it is best to wait for more than six months before getting pregnant. To confirm pregnancy, an early pregnancy test is required. The results are usually more accurate about 18 days after intercourse or around one week after the missed period. Some women may have difficulty getting pregnant shortly after removing the IUD, mainly due to chronic inflammation caused by the IUD's stimulation of surrounding tissues and organs during its placement in the uterine cavity. You should visit a hospital to check if there is inflammation in the cervical canal and fallopian tubes, as well as whether the endometrium is normal. If inflammation is detected, you should wait until it is treated and improves before trying to conceive.
