First things first, Dr. Selina Sandoval, a complex family planning expert, told Parents that there's no need for an IUD removal unless "you are hoping or willing to get pregnant." If your goal for removal is to conceive, it apparently doesn't take long to get pregnant. Dr. Jessica Scotchie, a board-certified OB-GYN and co-founder of Tennessee Reproductive Medicine, shared with Healthline that you can try to conceive in the first month after you remove the IUD.

With that being said, the odds of conceiving a child may still depend on your age. Scotchie notes that if you're under 35, you have roughly a 20% chance of conceiving per month, which increases to 60 in 6 months and 85 to 90% in a year. Your chances then decrease as you age.

Sandoval added that the odds of pregnancy could also be contingent on your lifestyle, health, and more. "The process to get pregnant will be different for everyone," she continued. Moreover, Dr. Banafsheh Kashani, an OB-GYN, explained to Forbes that if you're not in a hurry to conceive, you may want to wait two to three months before attempting. "This is to allow your body to resume its normal (or ovulatory) menstrual cycles and allows you time to take prenatal vitamins, stop smoking, minimize drinking and caffeine, and make healthy lifestyle choices," she said.
