Specializes in Gynecology

Usually doesn't: Your chances of getting pregnant return to normal very quickly after having an IUD removed no matter which IUD was used. It can take up to a year to get pregnant regardless of whether you have used birth control or not. However, most women get pregnant much sooner than that. Hope that helps.
