How long should one wait after removing the intrauterine device before trying to get pregnant?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

After removing the IUD, it is advisable to wait for 2-3 normal menstrual cycles before trying to conceive. The intrauterine device placed in the uterine cavity can cause aseptic inflammatory reactions in the endometrium, leading to the proliferation of white blood cells and macrophages, changes in uterine fluid, and the destruction of embryonic kinin, making fertilization difficult. As a foreign object inside the uterus, the contraceptive ring can interfere with the implantation of the fertilized egg, thereby achieving the purpose of contraception.
