Hey again, well just a quick recap, my storey is on the 24th sep 07 i had my merina removed, a couple days later i spotted lightly, had a full blown heavy week long period ending on the 26th october and been trying like mad since.. I had my next period ending on the 29th november so hopefuly this month will be a lucky one.. I'm kind of sad because the more i cant get pregnant the more i want a baby and now my partner is starting to question weather we should continue to try.. I never understood what it felt like when ppl described being desperate to have a baby .. until now cos my bodys been denieing me one.. as for the comment a few above i also have been trying alot and going thru alot of tests.. i bought 10 for $5 off ebay.. otherwise it was going to be expensive to buy tests at 10 each.. wish me luck and good luck to u all xx kt

Good luck... but keep the faith, like others have said on this thread, it can and does happen after Mirena. I had mine removed on 23 September, had a 2 day bleed, had a proper period on 23 October and got my BFP on 22 November! Hope this gives you some hope!

Hey all.. (again)
im so confused with what to do.. i wrote bk in nov about my heavy bleeding after having my mirena removed.. was given tablets to clam it down and it did a week later it had stoped and i have had nothing since.. now being the 27th over a month later im sure im pregnant have all the signs i had with my first pregnacy tender boobs.. tiredness and snaping at everything i have teake a couple of test and both have come bk neg but as i have no idea when my period is due i have no idea when to test again! i hoping so much that i am,, makes me think that the more i hope the more it wont happening.. called the doc's to see what they would say and they said all i can do is wait! so thats what im doing sick of waiting tho grrrrr.. fingers crossed i get the answer im looking for when i next test xx

i am about to have my marina coil removed as it is nearly 5 years since i had it fitted. i am just wondering what to expect when i have it removed and what are the chances of conceiving again as me and my partner have decided to try for a baby? im 26 years old and had my first son in april 2003 and had the coil fitted just after. is there any problems getting pregnant after having the coil in for 5 years?

Well heidi princess im in the same boat getting the mirena out on fri, had my daughter in 02. So keep me posted. From what ive been hearing it can happen qick or if your ovulating stoped it can take a wee while for your system to get back 2 normal. GOOD LUCK anywho xx

Hey ladies,

I had my mirena coil out in mid December 06. Had my 1st period on the 2nd Jan and got my bfp on the 28th Jan 07. Scarlett Grace is now 3 months old. So it can happen pretty quickly, just wanted to give you a bit of hope.

Good luck xxxxxxxxxx

hey me again, still trying i had another period ending christmas week and i have just started my peirod for january today.. 4 months has passed now with nothing Im starting to lose hope myself and concidering giving up on the idea all together and just get on with life.. part of me wants to keep trying but part of me feels like im putting life on hold i have 2 beautiful kids already and concidering returning back to work now but its making that decision to say "no more trying" which is hard .. I didnt do any tests this month just thought i would wait for my period.. so I will keep doing that for a while until i finally decide weather i want to stop trying ..

Hey all, sorry to butt in on this thread, just wanted to say Kaytee85, I know its frustrating hun but 4 months is no time att all in ttc terms, I wouldn't give up just yet!! Why don't you pop over to the ttc thread, it's full of lovely ladies who will cheer you all up, even a few who are ttc after mirena, (myself included).

Stacylou, I waited almost 7 weeks for my first bleed after I had my mirena removed. Just like the pill it can take little while for your body to adjust arefter having the hormone levels controlled for such a long time. If you've not had a bleed in 7 days I'd test again.

Much love and babydust to all

Hello everyone!!!
This forum is a sight for sore eyes. I have been hunting for help and guidence after I had the Merina Coil taken out on the 18th December. The doctor told me I was fine to start trying for a baby straight away.
I thought I was preganat so I took a test last sunday, but it was negative
When should my next period be?? I had a period around the 12th Dec.... any advice or guidence is very much welcomed!!!!

hey well.. i wasnt regular at the start but after my first real period everything seemed to go back to normal and now i have a period every month so yeah i guess it can be different for different people too..

expecting my next period on feb and have decided that if its not my BFP this month then i am going to get a merina and think about doing other things our situation has changed dramatically and though i hope to have another child I also think now its not such a good idea, so Im giving myself til my next period and if it didnt happen then it wasnt ment to be for me..

Thanks to everyones support and advice, Right now I just want to know if i am or not so I can start making new plans for differnt things, career wise n so on, Take some control for a change compared to playing the waiting game..

but to those of you who are still waiting for ur BFP hang in there it will happen it might just take some time but ask any mother this question.. is a baby worth the wait? ofcourse it is! situations can be adapted to having a new baby so dont lose hope, for me I just think as nice as 3 would be i have 2 that need me and I need to start concidering how to reach my life dream of owning my own home and a baby might not be the best thing for me anymore.. so I am happy with my two girls and am not going to be down about the choices i make.. thanks again everyone

I had the Mirena removed a month or so ago because I wanted to try for my third. I was wondering how long it would take to get pregnant after having it removed so I found this website and was very surprised by all the negative comments about the Mirena. I had no problems with it but now after reading all the bad comments, I'm worried about not being able to become pregnant for awhile. I'm trying not to dwell on it too much and just relax, hoping that helps with me becomine pregnant. I will let you know if or when I do.

Hi everyone,
I just wanted to say that although ive had the mirena twice now, and two very different experiences with it, once ive had this baby i am in two minds as to whether i will get it again,.. i know all the side effects and i felt really bad the 2nd time i had it, but... and its a big but, i may consider having it again..I suffer from very heavy painful periods but definatley wont be having anymore kids, so apart from getting sterilized..which wouldnt solve my pain and heaviness.. i dont see many other options, it is a fantastic form of contraception i have to say, but do i really want those side effects again, not sure about this one! anyone else have any thoughts?
Its so difficult to know what to do for the best???
Pill makes me ill and i suffer from migraines,
Dh wont use condoms and i hate them aswell...
had depropravera (sp) for a few months and it was nasty..(bled constantly)
and i dont really think there is much other choice apart from going celebate!!!
The things we have to go through as women..
