As you can see there are lots of stories on here, some good and some like myself are still waiting! But I shall keep plodding on. Anyway why don't you come and join a load of us on the 2ww (two week wait) It where all us ladies who are ttc hang out and give each other tips and support. There are ladies who have suffered all different types of problems, ladies who haven't some of us are ex merina etc etc. Usually there is someone that you can share experiences with so you will be more than welcome.

Take care and good luck!

Hi, I'm also having my mirena coil removed tomorrow, which i'm really excited about. Haven't had a period for over three years so was expecting to spend the next 12months ttc but after readiing everybodies comments I have some hope that it may infact happen sooner. Really nervous about having coil removed, should I expect to be in pain? would appreciate any words of wisdom about the whole conceving after mirena, should I wait a while or just go for it??
Good luck to all of you, its been great reading all your comments

Thanks for that will definately come over to 2WW. appointment at 11.40 so fingers crossed all goes well. Just wanted to ask which might be a really silly question - since I got Mirena I have not had a period, does this mean I have not been ovulating? I know probably silly question but cant seem to get a simple answer. Have had feeling every month as if when my period should be but obviously no mess. Since I am 36 now as well I know my chances of conceiving quickly have gone down, but really good to talk to other people with same situations.

Thanks

Well that the Merina out. can honestly say wasnt painful at all... and I am a wimp when it comes to pain. Dr said fertility should return in around a week but after reading stories on here I know to take this witha pinch of salt. so going to transfer on to 2WW now and hear from others in same boat.

Thanks

hi im slinkyinky im new here and i was reading bout ur comments on the merina iud, and getting preggers, ive just had mine out and not feeling very hopeful after reading your comments lol

Hey I'm also new, Had my merina taken out a coupple of weeks ago now.. was told I would be fertile straight away and we have had no luck so far, I had very light period a few days after removal that lasted 3 or 4 days.. My doctor told me to make sure I had a full period before trying as for it could result in miscarrage if I dont.. But we had already been trying before he told me that so yeah.. Can anyone email or msg me with any help with how to boost my body up perhaps to make it easier/quicker to be fertile cos right now I didnt really want to be waiting months before I fall pregnant.. at first I didnt want another but now we changed our minds and we thought it would be nice to have our second child and the one we are tryin for to be 2 or less years apart which niki turns 1 on the 26th of this month. I also feel very tired all the time it could have something to do with my iron .. I have been put off eating meat and I hate green vegies lol I just want to look and feel good and not feel like a zombie.. please help

Hey again, I just had my period last week, like most people I have read about, it was heavy and lasted nearly the whole week, so now does that mean I will find it easy to get pregnant & I am fertile again now?

Hi there Kaytee85,
Just wanted to say that i had my mirena out september 6th spotted for 3 days after removal same as you had, then had a proper period 26th september,
I wasn't trying all that much but got a BFP last monday!
so yes fertility does come back straight away, its all down to timing!!
I had been taking prenacare vitamins since i got my coil out, but don't know whether this helped.
good look to you and hoping you get your BFP soon!

hi everyone, ive just had the mirena removed, and honestly didnt know there was problems with fertility after it till i read this! my doc sed id be fertile the second i got it out. i had it in 3 years, but still had my periods, and a feeling of ovulation mid cycle. periods were lighter tho. hopefully dats a good sign, dat ill be fertile straight away . also, my doc said mine was bent, he showed it to me (yuk) and asked did i have discomfort wen i had it put in, which i did. I didnt even feel it coming out, was so relieved, as it hurt goin in!! felt ovulation pain on OP19, hoping i will conceive straight away, I have a good feeling about it! the ovulation pain was a lot stronger this time. fingers crossed....i dont want to be ttc for ages

hey well i havent got my BFP yet but i guess its BFM hopefully.. i have one of them mini lipstick lookin microscopes called "maybe baby" its an ovulation saliver tester.. so Today i do it and it tells me that im ovulating.. which according the the chart lasts like 4 days and then my period should come shortly after.. I have waited a long time now so I hope its not much longer and even then im scared because it has taken so long that im either not able to concieve or that i will have problems or MC if i do ..

It just sucks because my first 2 were so easy and now im actually trying to plan one.. its not happening! but Im walking every day to keep fit and make myself feel good, im eating healthy and getting lots of rest too, no late nights. Fingers crossed and good luck to everyone else. im so glad for this support forum I would be so depressed if I hadn't of found this place, because no one told me it would be a long wait the doctor made it sound like I could go home and get pregnant the very same day i had the merina removed! how wrong! i might give my doc this forums url next time and tell him to read the coil section so he can spread the word that mums to be arent fertile as quick as they are telling everyone they will be.

one again thx everyone and good luck to yall I will check in later on with more news if any

Anyone else have this experience? I had mirena in for five months and hated everything about it--bled daily, lost hair, mood swings, no sex drive. I had it out last month, bled HEAVILY for eight days, no signs of ovulation, and now I tested positive (twice) for pregnancy. I am so worried about the pregnancy. Normally, I have not been very fertile. It took nearly a year for my other two children, but now only one time since mirena. It wreaked havoc on my body, and now I worry it will continue to wreak havoc on my baby. I was NOT trying to get pregnant, and I'm met with mixed emotions. Mostly, though, fear that the hormones and problems I had with mirena will affect the pregnancy. And, I'll be just shy of 40 when the baby comes...

hi ladies

Just popped on to give you abit of hope, i had my merina removed after using it for 6 years in jan 06 , fell pregnant in April 06 after doing loads of tests in the mean time and now have a beautiful baby boy. There is light at the end of the tunnel, whilst i was trying i believed that it had made me infertile but it does happen, just have faith.
Good luck to everyone.

Throwing lots of baby dust to you all xxx

hi all,

just to let you know i had my coil removed after 8 years (2nd coil in 2004)& never had a period during the 8 years or since having it out.

i had my coil removed on thursday 15 Feb 2007 and gave birth to a beautiful baby girl thursday 8th November 2007 exactly 38 weeks from having it removed.

So dont be worried it will happen everyone

hi all.. hoping someone can help..

i had my mirena removed last thursday (22/11) all was fine the day i had it taken out and the day after but the sat i started bleeding more then i have ever seen in my life.. changing pads so many times aday.. went to the doc's today to see what was up and to see if they can do anything, they gave me some tablets called cyklokapron (tranexamic acid) suppose to calm it down but im worried by takeing these as im wanting to concieve.. any advise?

thanks stacy xxx

Hi staceylou,
I would say, as its only been, what? just over a week since removal, to take the tablets for the bleeding and get that sorted 1st, it is possible to conceive straight away, but i wouldn't be in too much of a hurry. Your hormone levels are all over the place which may be causing the heavy bleeding, and the levels of hormone needed to sustain pg need to be stable, i would get yourself sorted this month, have a proper cycle, (mine came 3 weeks after) then see what happens.
Its worth the wait! its only a few weeks!
I had mine removed 6th september, bled 3 days later a bit, then got my period 3 weeks later, got pg 2 weeks after that! i am now 9 weeks pg, so it can still be quick for you.
hope this helps,
Good luck,
Emma. x
