The ability to conceive after discontinuing contraceptive practice is an important concern for women who have not completed their families. This paper focuses on 576 women who had their IUDs removed for planned pregnancy. The data from this study add further evidence that fertility subsequent to IUD removal is not impaired. Among these women followed-up, 94.3% conceived. The majority of these conceptions (55.9%) occurred during the first three months after IUD removal. In addition to analyzing conception rates, there were four factors that were considered in relationship to return to fertility. These were age at removal, duration of use, type of IUD (medicated vs non-medicated) and timing of insertion (interval vs postabortion). Age at removal was the only variable which seemed to influence conception rates.
