<s>[INST] My husband just received his smallpox vaccine a part of his pre deployment checklist. A part of our personal pre deployment checklist is trying to get pregnant. I had my iud removed a couple weeks ago and my husband hasnt even thought of condoms since we first dated some 2 years ago. Can I go ahead and try to get pregnant? He has been following all precautions for the post care. [/INST] Hello, After removal of IUD, fertility gains within 1-2 months. Successful conception depends on proper timing of unprotected sex and ovulation time or fertile days. You have to continue this for 6-12 months. In addition, you can use ovulation prediction kit to predict ovulation time. Take folic acid & vitamin supplement with diet. Do light exercise regularly and avoid mental stress. Hope, it helps. Good luck. </s>
