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 whether you are pregnant, you need to take an early pregnancy test. The results are usually more accurate about 18 days after intercourse or around one week after your period is delayed. Some women may have difficulty getting pregnant shortly after removing the IUD, mainly because the chronic inflammation caused by the IUD stimulating the surrounding tissues and organs in the uterine cavity. You should visit a hospital to check if there is inflammation in your cervical canal and fallopian tubes, and whether your endometrium is normal. If there is inflammation, you should wait until the condition improves before trying to conceive.
