After removing the IUD, it is best to wait for 2-3 normal menstruations before conceiving. Regardless of how long the ring is placed, as a foreign body, the contraceptive ring will more or less cause certain damage and impact on the endometrial tissue, which is not conducive to the growth and development of the embryo or fetus and will cause defects in the newborn, with very bad consequences.

What symptoms should you pay attention to after removing the ring?

1. On the day after the IUD is removed, you may experience mild lower abdominal discomfort, back pain, or a small amount of vaginal bleeding. If the amount of vaginal bleeding after surgery exceeds the amount of menstruation, or the bleeding continues after half a month, or the abdominal pain is severe, please go to the hospital for a follow-up visit immediately.
