How to Get Pregnant after an IUD Removal

Intrauterine device (IUD) is a small contraceptive device that is placed inside the uterus. They are available in two forms i.e. a copper containing and hormone containing devices. Depending on its type, IUD either prevents fertilisation or alters the uterus lining to prevent implantation. IUD can be used for five years and can even be removed earlier if you want to get pregnant. It is easy to get pregnant after an IUD removal.

• Prepare yourself for pregnancy. Eat healthy and include vitamins and folic acid in your routine diet. In addition to this, regular exercise can also help you to be fit for pregnancy.
• Keep track of your ovulation date. This can be done by following calendar method or by taking ovulation kit that is considered giving 99% accurate results. If your menstrual cycle is of 28 days then you will probably ovulate on 14 day. In case your cycle is longer, subtract 18 days from the total number of days.
