After removing the IUD, can it take a long time to get pregnant? Can antidepressants (escitalopram) interfere? Regarding conception, pregnancy, and the baby?

It can take some time to get pregnant after having a contraceptive removed, as fertility varies from person to person. It may take up to a year for some individuals, but on average it's about 6 months. As for antidepressants, more and more women are using them during pregnancy. It's important to find the right balance and discuss with a healthcare provider. It's recommended to schedule an appointment for the removal of the contraceptive and consider prenatal vitamins during the conception period. Once pregnant, reach out to local healthcare units for prenatal care. Your pharmacist can also provide support during this process.
