Hi there,
I have understood your concern, I will suggest you best possible treatment options.
Usually it takes 3 to 5 months to regain menstrual regularity after removing hormone containing IUD.
So please be patient and wait for the periods.
If you have unprotected sex act, then please get urine pregnancy test at least 15to 20 days after last sex act.
After removing the IUD, there is no contraceptive effect and chance of getting pregnancy is always there.
I hope this answer helps you.
Thanks.
