Most Dr's will tell you to wait until you've had 1 normal period.
It is possible to become pregnant immediately after removal of an IUD. Even with mirena coils which contain small amounts of progesterone, the contraceptive won't work as soon as the IUD is removed. Once your IUD is removed you can become pregnant immediately, it has no residual contraceptive effect. 85% of couples will get pregnant within the year, just as the rate if no IUD had been used.
maybe.... maybe xD (anything is possible)
Yes, you can be pregnant if you had sex in the days just before the IUD was removed if it was a hormonal IUD like Liletta, Mirena, or Skyla. Consider using the morning after pill if you had sex in the last five days. If you do not want to get pregnant, start another method of pregnancy prevention as soon as possible.
20 weeks pregnant is 5 months!! yippee not long now just 4 months to go!! :)
20 weeks = roughly around 5 months so you are just under 5 months pregnant.
It just ceases to work (although I understand that there is actually enough Levonorgestrol in it to last 7 years).It just isn't active anymore. It's recommended that the plastic piece be taken before another year has passed. After 5 years, you can get pregnant. SThe effectiveness of Mirena IUD is related to the low dose of hormones - once you hit five years, you are no longer getting an effective dose of hormones to prevent ovulation and conception.This may leave you at a slightly higher risk of ectopic pregnancy so the Mirena should be removed as soon as possible. It can be replaced on the same day the old one is removed.If you no longer have an OB/GYN doctor, you can go to any Planned Parenthood office.
if I'm correct that's just under seven months pregnant
If it does, the website does not admit to it. The Mirena IUD can remain in place for 5 years, at which time it must be removed. If you are happy with the IUD and not prepared to switch BC methods, the doctor can replace it with a new device in the same visit. Just an assumption, if it does lose potency - it is after the five year point. They would not risk having women use one for five years then get pregnant just before the time it needs to be removed - nor would they want to have a steady dose for 55 months, then start decreasing - only to have the IUD removed at 60 mos and if replacing with a new device, having the hormone level rise again. It is a constant, steady dose that suppresses ovulation or prevents changes in the uterine lining. (depending on the hormone and it's purpose.)
i have been off it for just under 18 months and have just found out i am pregnant today :)
No it's not.
No, she just had her second child a few months ago.
Females are pregnant for 22 months; just two months shy of two years.
