Q: Getting Pregnant after ParaGard

I had paragarad inserted a little over a year ago...my husband and I thought we wanted to wait until we were in our 30's but we have decided that late 20's is close enough! We are of course finacially stable and have a very nice home. I'm having my IUD taken out next Thursday and I am wondering how long it might take us to get pregnant. We are both very healthy...work out at least 4 times a week..yes we do drink but not too much. I would not think that paragard would cause any trouble because it is non-hormonal. Any suggestions....

Nobody replied...but I had my IUD removed today and my doctor said that healthy couples usually have no problems getting pregnant after paragard. I'm a tad sore...so after that is gone then DH and I will start trying.

Me too!
Hi lele25 - We're pretty much in the same boat. Late 20's, just got my paragard out on the 13th and we've started "working on it". I'm hoping it doesn't take too long, as I'm sure you are hoping as well. Good luck!

Hi! I am 31. I just had my Paragard IUD removed on Monday June 22. My doctor told me we could concieve immediately. She did say that having your iud removed directly after you period helps to lesson any bleeding and does not disrupt the uterine wall as much. I was under the impression that i would have to wait for my cycle to get back on track (3months or so) but that is not the case. YIPPEE! I am
not a fan of extra bleeding. anyhow i did an online ovulation calendar and figured out my "fertile" days and am pretty excited. We currently have 3 boys ages 11,5,4. None of our other pregnancies were planned so hubby and I are looking forward to this new journey with eyes wide open. Good luck

Well....3 months no luck Sad We aren't stressing about it, but it would be nice if something would happen. My periods have been very irregular lately making it difficult to judge my fertile days. We try to concentrate on days 11-18...and of course any other time the mood strikes:)Has anyone tried the at home fertility tests?
