Hey ladies, so there’s not a whole lot of information here related to TTC after an IUD. So I thought I would share my experience to getting my recent (yay!) BFP! I hope some of you find it helpful.

-I had the Skyla IUD for almost 3 years, during which I didn’t have a period for the last year and a half.

-We decided we wanted to try for a baby, so I booked an appointment and started taking a pre-natal vitamin and drinking Pom Wonderful juice

-IUD removed in September, my OB told me we could try right away so we did.

-I had my first period again approximately 2 weeks after removal and it SUCKED. It was nearly two weeks varying from heavy to spotting and back again.

-After AF, I started using OPKs and my ovulation appeared to be back to normal. My cycle pretty much went back to pre-IUD at that time.

-It took me 5 cycles to get pregnant.

-The only thing I did the 5th time around was take Evening Primrose Oil supplements the first half of my cycle. Not sure if that did the trick or not but that was the only difference!!

-Got a VVFL 9dpo

-Positive digital test 10dpo!! 😍

Hopefully this helps some of you asking how long it took, and provides some insight to getting your first AF back!
