Return to fertility
At some stage in the future you may want to try to get pregnant again. Fortunately, there is no delay in a return to fertility after removal of the intrauterine system, the intrauterine device or the contraceptive implant, although it can take up to a year for your fertility to return once you stop have the 3-monthly contraceptive injections1.
There is no effect on fertility, and after your intrauterine system is removed your fertility returns to ‘normal’ as before placement1.

Once you stop having the 3-monthly contraceptive injection, it can take up to a year for you to return to fertility and be able to get pregnant1. However, in most women the effect will have worn off 5 to 6 months after the last injection. Over 80 % of women will conceive within a year of their last injection2.
