Nervous about pregnancy after IUD

slarah8

I'm feeling nervous about this pregnancy.  I conceived pretty much right after my IUD was taken out and I'm wondering if my body is ready to sustain a healthy pregnancy.  Our daughter is now 2 and that pregnancy was really healthy.  We decided to have another and had the IUD removed.  The doc suggested waiting until one normal period just to ensure that my uterus was prime and healthy.  We didn't wait (didn't think it would happen so fast!) and now I'm worried.  Hoping to hear from others that fell into this same situation.  Was the pregnancy healthy?

Hi and congrats.  I had my mirena taken out and got pregnant the second cycle.  Unfortunately I had a natural m/c at 5w3d.  I don't know if was related to the IUD or just one of those things.  I am now pregnant again after waiting one cycle following the m/c.  I would try to relax and you cannot control what happens.  I was really depressed, but you cannot control if a m/c will happen.  Try to take care of yourself.

 I thought I would let you know because I too am nervous now this pregnancy and my DH and I cannot really get excited.  Good luck!

My husband's niece got pregnant with an IUD still inserted.  Pregnancy was fine and baby was healthy!

This current pregnancy was immediately post-IUD. Well, I should say, it was removed 4/10, first period was 4/23, and here we are. I had the non-hormonal Paragard, and when it was removed, my doc said we could start TTC anytime. Don't know if that's the case with Mirena. 

I hear your concerns, though. Even having had one cycle, I still worry a bit post-IUD. Not much use worrying over it, though. What's done is done.

I know someone who had this situation too.

I removed my paragard on 4/11 which was during the end of my period and got pregnant on 4/14. I am not worried one bit.

I had my mirena removed on 3/5. Had AF on 4/24 (took a while) and then got pregnant the next cycle. So far, so good. 

I would guess that you m/c risk is about the same as everyone else. My Dr said women experience m/c due to not having enough uterine lining, but you could also m/c for a million other reasons. All that said, there's still a 75% chance that everything will progress perfectly normally.

I know it's hard to not worry. I'm terrible at it. But either way, you're pg now and what's meant to be will be.

I had a m/c prior to my DS. Sometimes they just happen and there's no rhyme or reason. Good luck!
