when your period's coming, but are you ovulating and how long is your luteal phase specifically?
Because that's an opportunity where we can usually make a big difference in helping you get pregnant.
And coming off contraceptive, if you want to get pregnant when you stop birth control is gonna be really important as far as having the highest rates of success.
Huge study.
There's no higher rate of infertility from any type of birth control.
And that's really important.
Wait, what do you mean by that?
So that means that at 12 months of trying to get pregnant after stopping any method of contraception.
Same amount of people are pregnant at 12 months as use no contraception.
Okay, so good.
But what's missing from that discussion is that doesn't mean that your fertility is the exact same once you stop that birth control.
IUD is one of the most important ones to discuss here.
Progesterone IUD works by having progesterone in the uterus.
It gets absorbed systemically.
Usually at its start, it prevents ovulation, but these can last for many years.
up to five or seven years.
And so at that point, ovulation is usually resumed because progesterone levels are lower, but you've had this progesterone exposure to the uterus every single day for years.
Again, the uterus is usually only exposed to progesterone for half the cycle, not the whole time.
And we know that progesterone IUDs can change the receptivity of the uterus, the genetic expression of estrogen progesterone receptors for up to six months after removal.
And we see lower pregnancy rates in those first six months.
