omg, sherylb!!!! CONGRATS!!!!!! so so sooooo happy for you!!!!
Baby, yay for some clear diagnosis and treatment! That must be a relief to KNOW what is going on?? And for a lovely healthy bub still.
pinkanhopeful, I'm not really sure what advice I can offer. I know nothing about the mirena, but I know there are a number of threads on here specifically for supporting those who've had theirs removed so they might be able to help more. I understand that will all forms of female contraceptive though, it can really throw your cycles off for many months later so perhaps it's still that that is causing issues with your cycle??
The OPKs aren't always very good, especially if you only use them once a day. If you aren't sure if you've ovulated yet or not, perhaps talk to your doctor and get a blood test done to see if you HAVE ovulated yet or not.
In the end, I know it feels like forever, but 3 months really isn't very long to be trying. For every month that the timing is perfect and everything is right, there's still only 25% chance of getting pregnant. Add in to that that you're not sure when you are ovulating and that both you and DH are healthy in that respect then the chances of falling pregnant every month suddenly become horribly disheartening. It SUCKS!! SOOOO much! Especially when so many others around you are falling pregnant at the drop of hat!!!!
I know I'm not much help at all, and I'm so sorry. I wish I could be, I wish I could just have the answer and tell everyone! But at least you've found a wonderful place here where SOOOO many others are in the same boat and can sympathise at the very least.
