How long does it take to have sex and try for pregnancy after taking out the intrauterine device?

Patient's question:

How long after taking out the IUD can I try to get pregnant? If the IUD has been in the body for a long time, will it cause harm to the body? How long after taking out the IUD can I try to get pregnant?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, after the removal of the intrauterine device (IUD), the IUD, as a foreign object, will cause some degree of damage and impact on the endometrial tissue to some extent. This is unfavorable for the growth and development of the embryo or fetus, which may lead to defects in the newborn, resulting in poor outcomes. Therefore, it is recommended that you wait for 2-3 normal menstrual cycles before attempting to conceive to allow the endometrium time to recover, which is beneficial for healthy reproduction.
Advice: It is recommended to wait for 2 months after removing the IUD before undergoing pre-pregnancy testing at a regular hospital to ensure that all bodily functions are normal before trying to conceive. I hope my answer is helpful to you.
