Mirena (IUD) removal to conceive

[faith2015]

Hello everyone!! DD is 8, DS is 1 1/2 and we are wanting to TTC

I had a horrible experience getting the IUD placed and I am so nervous at getting it removed! Plus I have had a horrible experience with the IUD in general, feeling pregnant, not being able to loose weight and very moody.

I want myself back!

So anything I should look out for? Removal issues? TTC after removal? Same symptoms during IUD?

I just had mine removed today. It was not painful, but not painless either. Although, i would say it was more uncomfortable than pain. I took 800 ibuprofen before going. She told me to take a deep breath and i felt a pull and it was over. A little cramping but that's about it
So far so good!

It was not at all painful! But my hormones are all out of wack

Oh no. I'm feeling pretty good. I spotted for about 2 days and so far nothing else. I've been light headed but allergies are crazy so i think that's it. I hope its not too much on you!

I was really into it last time I TTC because it look me over a year to become pregnant, so I lived on this site. Not this is my 2nd round in trying, I feel lost! Things have changed in two years

It looks like you've got it working now!

Good luck trying!

Removal is much less traumatic than having it inserted!

My doc told me to do a cough and as I did she pulled it out. Done. In seconds. I was like 'oh, is it out?' ��

You got that right! I was a baby getting it inserted! When it was removed I was like SERIOUSLY?!?!

Now trying to get pregnant ....

Getting it inserted was definitely worse. I did feel it coming out though. It was like a pinch/ pull. Still waiting on my first cycle since!

Hey, all.

I'll be getting my IUD out soon, but I've been having trouble deciding when I should schedule a removal. There's so much conflicting stuff online!

I'm a full-time student and I'll be graduating Dec. 2018. So in an ideal situation, I would have a Jan. 2018 baby. (I already have one child, so I know what it's like to be pregnant, have a child in school, etc. It's what's best for our family & our timeline!)

That means, we would ideally conceive in early April. My first pregnancy, we got pregnant on the very 1st time, but I know that's not "normal." I also wasn't on any birth control and tracked my cycles closely. I had cycles that lasted between 35-48 days, alternating between shorter and longer (ex. 35,43,37,48,38,43,etc.)

It seems for some people, removal triggers ovulation the following weeks, but some people report miscarriage due to thin uterine lining. I wouldn't want to risk that!

I also don't want to wait an entire cycle to ttc, and then have 50 day cycle.

If anyone has any insight, I'd love to hear
