Hi Ladies

Just been reading through this thread and wanted to say, like some of the others, that there is plenty to play for after the merina coil. I had mine for three years and had it removed in November last year. I had no idea that there were so many adverse side effects as, on the face of it, I had had no problems. It was only after I had it removed (having decided to ttc) and when researching how long my AF would take to appear, that I realised some of what I had been experiencing for 3 years could be put down to the coil. Anyway, I fell pregnant immediately in December last year and am now nearly 25 weeks. So, don't give up hope and it will happen to you all, I'm sure.

Lots of love and luck
Ali

Hi everyone. Hope you have room for one more. I'm 24 and have had irregular periods all my life. My doctor has suggested the Merina coil for this and i'm going to try it. I'm quite worried after reading all your responses though!

I want to have a baby when I come off of it. I'm worried that I wont' be able to if I don't get regular periods and get my weight down. My husband and I have had unprotected sex since we got married (4 years ago) and I have never gotten pregnant. Is anyone else in this sort of situation?[?][?]

hiya... pop over to the 2ww thread... ull find loadsa TTCers in lots of different situations but all really helpful there...or u miohgt wana join the TTC for more than 12months thread as well.

good luck x

Good morning ladies,

It is great to see some positive stories on here it is what I started the string for - to give us Post Merina Ladies some hope[] Personally I would not touch that little alien thing again if my life depended on it. As soon as I had "it[xx(]" removed my whole body felt different (I do not wish to sound like a drama queen[:X]) For anyone who reads this thread thinking of having a merina fitted there is a merina thread over on the health side of this site. There are lots of ladies who seem to have very similar side effects on here. I have today that I do know friends that have had no problems with the merina, so if you decide to go ahead as soon as you start having any of the symptoms mentioned on the threads get that little beastie whipped out!!!!!

I am coming up to ov, my last chance before I see my specialist at the begining of August. We have decided that if we need any help then we will call it a day.

Good luck and babydust to all XX

I hope you hit the nail on the head this month, that evil coil must not win!! I'm feeling much better after having mine out. But it is a bit of a worry after reading all the stories. Anyhoo! Good luck and remember back down bum up!! []

i just wanted you all to know that my girlfriend had her merina coil removed and got pregnant immediately after...i mean she had it removed, got AF, O'd and just got a BFP yesterday...so there is hope!!

Noodles - Thanks for the positive info it is always so good to hear a BFP, but even better for me to hear one after the Merina it still gives me hope

I have just ov'd so I am now everything crossed until I go to see my specialist next Tuesday. You never know it may just be the kick up the bum that I needed to get pg!

I am so glad to hear form you. I hope everything goes well on tuesday.

JayJay,

Congratulations my old friend! I haven't really being keeping up with what's going on on the strings and then I find that I am a few weeks behind on you giving birth - Gosh it doesn't seem five minutes since you got your BFP. I hope everything went well.

I went yesterday to see the specialist he has referred me for a HSG so I just have to wait until AF arrives to book the appointment - Of course it would be nice if af didn't put in an appearance, but I just don't feel pg in the slightest. All depending when AF does show is when I will have my HSG test if it is after Friday then I will be able to have it a week monday if it is before I will have to wait until next month.

I hope Lucas is sleeping well for you. Take care.

Love and babydust to all XX

Hello ladies, been reading this thread and thought I would join in if that's ok??

Me Trish - 31
DH - 24
DS - 8
DD - 3
DS - 19 months
TTC - 1st cycle

I had the Merina coil after the birth of my last son in February 05. I had no problems with it at all, I had very slight bleeding for the first few weeks and then nothing, I even managed to lose nearly 2 stone!!! DH and I decided we would like 1 more child to complete our family so I had the Merina removed 9 August 06 and AF arrived on the 11th. I have been taking Folic Acid and have worked out roughly when I would have ovulated, which is pretty hard to work out as I haven't had a cycle for soo long??? Reading peoples comments on this thread makes me worried about how long it is going to take me to concieve, (I normally fall within 1 cycle). Do you think because AF came within 2 days that I am still ovulating?? I have been suffering quite bad headaches since having the Merina removed did anyone else have this problem. I have been reading the 2WW sites and I think I am just imagining pregnancy symptoms because I am so worried about conception taking so long? Although I know that some women have fallen pregnant really quickly after having the Merina removed!! Anyway am babbling so hope I haven't gone on too much

Hope to hear from you all

Baby dust to everyone

P.s Kat! Your ex mirena to! I didn't realise...
