Anyone that does their research knows that while you are technically fertile after an IUD removal it can take up to a year to conceive. So we decided it was best to take it out now (about 10 months before we're looking to conceive again) and go back to using condoms. Now i want to say the 2years i had my IUD it was amazing, no periods, i felt very stable, not having to worry about taking a pill every morning i would highly recommend it to anyone looking for birth control. So it's been 2 days I've had some light bleeding but i figured i would try and document my experience after removal (which was painless). Edit i was on mirena
