So a a little history. DH and I tried for 2 years to get preggo but we weren't successful on our own. We had to have follistum shots to help lengthen out my cycle before. We got preggo with twins!


So the kiddos are almost 2, and DH and I are at the "we aren't doing anything to stop us from getting preggo" phase.


I had an IUD for over 1.5 years after the kiddos were born, and it obviously does crazy stuff to a cycle. It made mine to where I had my "period" of slight spotting for a couple of days and my ovulation immediately following. No waiting for over a week or so. I know it's O because I get O cramps. With the IUD the cramps were intensified. I never really had a period. Well over 2 weeks ago I had the IUD removed. But my "cycle" stayed the same. Barely bled, then immediatley had egg white cerivical mucous stuff. DH and I DTD last night during the EWCM. I had ovulation cramps and everything.


So, is it possible that soon after an IUD removal to get preggo? Is it possible to get preggo when my uterus hasn't, at least not that I know of, built up a lining yet? My problem before the kiddos was that my cycle was short and I didn't O until 6-7 days before AF showed. So it wasn't long enough for the egg
