Question:

How soon after getting my Mirena (IUD) removed could I possibly get pregnant?

Answer from OB-GYN Kelsie Cabrera, DO, MS:

You can technically get pregnant shortly after the removal of the IUD. There's nothing in place to prevent a pregnancy once the IUD is removed.

However, it's common for it to take up to 12 months to get pregnant any time you are trying to conceive.
