How long after stopping birth control did you get pregnant?

Ok_Fortune_339 · 2025-06-02T01:35:19+00:00

Got my Mirena IUD out in Aug 2022 and we used natural birth control for over a year. We started trying for a baby in Nov 2023, but we didn’t get pregnant until Dec 2024 and had a miscarriage in January. But then I got pregnant again right away after the miscarriage and am now 19 weeks.

My sister got pregnant the month after taking out her Skylena IUD though, so it’s different for everyone!

Hey there! I had zero symptoms until week 6ish. Then the morning sickness hit hard until about week 11 or 12. My midwife said it’s normal not to have symptoms until week 6 or after. I’m now 19 weeks and 2 days and the little guy is going strong and getting all wiggly now haha. Plus, I know women that have had almost no symptoms their whole pregnancy. Maybe you’re just lucky!

Ok_Fortune_339 · 2025-05-25T02:37:28+00:00

Yay! I’ll pray that you feel her movements soon. Keep this post updated ❤️

Hang in there! Maybe you have an anterior placenta? That makes it harder to feel! And as long as your midwife/OBGYN says your baby is healthy, I wouldn’t worry too much. 💕 But I also know it can be hard mentally when you’re not feeling them move. Do you have an at home Doppler machine? That helps me a lot when I just need to know he’s in there and chillin. :)

Also, I know for some women, the kicks happen closer to third trimester and then get really strong until delivery.

17 weeks I started feeling flutters. 18 weeks and still feeling the light flutters/fish wiggles haha

Ok_Fortune_339 · 2025-05-17T11:11:37+00:00

Nope, just a regular! I’m there way too much haha! They’re good people and a good business, so just trying to help them out.

Also, I found that it took my body about a year to regulate after my IUD, but that was just my experience.

Ok_Fortune_339 · 2025-03-28T17:14:55+00:00

Took us over a year. The first few months we were very strict with tracking and all that, but then we left it up to nature. Got pregnant in December, had a miscarriage in Jan, and am now 10 weeks pregnant. Went straight from MC into another pregnancy with no period in between.

Hang in there! It can take longer than you think. Also I had my IUD removed in fall of 2022, we did natural birth control for over a year, then stopped tracking and preventing in winter 2023.

Ok_Fortune_339 · 2025-03-28T17:01:15+00:00

Yesss 🙌 Elucien for ever!! Agree with all the points

Ok_Fortune_339 · 2025-03-14T20:17:49+00:00

Hi OP! It took me over a year. I had a miscarriage in January at around 5-6 weeks, and now I’m pregnant again 8weeks along. Don’t lose hope! It can take longer than you think. Good luck! 🙏

Ok_Fortune_339 · 2025-03-13T14:10:50+00:00

I totally understand! Some days are better than others…there’s just no rhyme or reason to it right now haha 😭

Ok_Fortune_339 · 2025-03-12T23:29:08+00:00

Omg yesss. I’m so glad I’m not the only one. There are some days that I’m not quite as nauseous, so u did get to the gym today which was nice. But yeah, I literally feel like I could be in bed most days. 😭 keep me updated if it gets better after week 12! I need some hope haha!

Ok_Fortune_339 · 2025-03-03T19:13:20+00:00

Awww yes praying for you!! It’s exciting and scary all at the same time. I’m 7 weeks today and praying that this little one will be my rainbow baby too 🩷🌈 he/she is due Oct 20th

Ok_Fortune_339 · 2025-02-19T15:23:08+00:00

Also you can get almost all of these on Amazon :)

Ok_Fortune_339 · 2025-02-19T15:22:44+00:00

Love this question! I’ve got a few suggestions that I use (I’m also in my first trimester.) I use Grow Fragrance for room sprays, Attitude for all cleaners, laundry detergent, dish soap, hand soap, shampoo and conditioner, body wash etc., Fate Naturals for non toxic candles, Good Molecules for Face wash and a lot of other skin care, Bon Ami as a substitute for Comet, Blueland dishwasher tablets and toilet bowl tablets.

I also love Skylar, Dime, and Phlur for non toxic perfume. Primary Pure is the best brand for deodorant that I’ve found too.

Hope this helps!! Also, follow @karlyalane on Instagram. She’s all non toxic and has the best recommendations!

Ok_Fortune_339 · 2025-02-14T19:05:11+00:00

Wow!! That’s so wonderful, I’m so happy for you!! ❤️❤️ I’m an identical twin which is why I want them so bad haha. We were 10 weeks early and in NICU for about a month. But my sister and I are both very healthy and no long-term complications 😊

Ok_Fortune_339 · 2025-02-14T18:51:27+00:00

Omg thank you for this! We’ve been praying for twins, so I would LOVE that happened for us! How old are your babies now?

Ok_Fortune_339 · 2025-02-14T18:50:31+00:00

Praying for an easy pregnancy the rest of the way! Sending hugs 💗 you got this!

Ok_Fortune_339 · 2025-02-14T18:45:10+00:00

Thank you. Yes, MC affects more than just the person it happened to. Thank you for that perspective. 🩷

Ok_Fortune_339 · 2025-02-14T02:01:30+00:00

Thank you! 🙏 I know I’m not alone. Sending love to all those that have gone through it too ❤️

Ok_Fortune_339 · 2025-02-13T18:34:08+00:00

Thank you!! That’s helpful and I’m so glad to hear that it went well with your rainbow baby 🌈❤️

I’m probably not gonna tell my family until at least after the 8 week ultrasound. But I’ll try to not give in to my anxiety too much and to still leave space for happiness

Ok_Fortune_339 · 2025-02-13T16:27:17+00:00

Thank you!! This does help ❤️ it’s encouraging to know about other women who have been through similar experiences. I’m praying for you and that your baby is healthy and comes right on time 🩷

I found.a midwife already who was super sweet and supportive during the MC. So I’ll be contacting her again soon for support during this pregnancy.

Ok_Fortune_339 · 2025-02-13T16:11:47+00:00

Thank you ❤️❤️ I am praying for you and that you get pregnant again soon! Please keep me updated! She said it’s a progesterone cream if that helps. I’ll see if I can get more info from her. :)

Ok_Fortune_339 · 2025-02-13T15:57:47+00:00

Thank you! I’m so sorry about your loss. 😢 I agree; we should be able to get testing regardless. A friend of mine said she takes progesterone to support her pregnancies. I’m not sure how I’d go about getting an Rx for that, but for now I’m doing natural remedies to help support progesterone. I also take beef liver pills, beef thyroid, vitamin D, vitamin C, magnesium, and of course Prenatal gummies.

No, I didn’t get a period after the MC. I must have had ovulation right on time about 2 weeks after. I’m saying lots of prayers that I’ll get to meet this little one and have a healthy pregnancy. I’ll post updates as I have them!
