How long does it take to regulate period after IUD removal?

Question

So I've had Skyla in for 3 years now. I bled constantly for 2 or 3 weeks after the painful insertion then almost no periods for 3 years. I have had occasional brownish spotting once every few months then nothing.

I am getting my IUD removed in 2 weeks and I am so excited. We are beyond ready to TTC.

Have any of you had Skyla and had no periods? Did your periods resume after removal? How long did it take to regulate? How long did it take to conceive after removal? I know everyone is different. Just trying to get an idea. Thanks.

Answer

Hello! I had the Skyla in for about 2 years and had it removed just 3/28 so I've only had two periods since then. I had mod-heavy 10 day long AF throughout the 2 yrs with it in though, so I'm not sure if my experience would be that similar to your situation. But for the heck of it, since I rarely see stuff on the Skyla (only Mirena) my first period after removal was a SUPER heavy clotty 14 day AF and the second was a moderate flow for 7 days. Something worth mentioning though: Before that second AF, I had EVERY pregnancy symptom in the book and was convinced that I was pregnant. I had a faint but noticeable positive a bit before the 9 day late period came so I'm guessing I had a chemical pregnancy... I'm sure you're super excited to get at TTC but honestly, I'd recommend waiting a few cycles before having unprotected sex to really do it right. I was absolutely devastated with the CP, and all my friends who had been through a similar situation warned me and looking back I wish I had listened. Anyway, sorry for the book! Do whatever feels right for you two and best of wishes for future baby!!
