Iud self removal

Niki
So I had an Iud in since my son was 5 months old or so in 09. I had the 5 year mirena. I haven't bleed in all these years. I'm 40 and I seen I could take it myself so I did because it cost too much to have it done professionally . So then I've started to bleed again, is it possible for me to get pregnant I was hopeful I heard that after its removed your more fertile?
