Specializes in American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology

Not long: The effect of the Mirena (levonorgestrel) should be gone in less that a month and may be gone much quicker. There is no specific waiting period to begin trying to conceive after the Mirena (levonorgestrel) is removed.

Dr Van Dis and another doctor agreed
