The 'OFFICIAL' Ex Mirena Thread

Quick question girlies, Id like to start a journal on here, but Im not sure how you start a new thread?? I know its probably glaringly obvious, but I have been known to have my blonde moments, and could do with a little advice!!:winkwink::haha::haha::blush:

Thanku.xxxx :dust: for everyone xx
 
Evening ladies!

Ive had just under a week holiday from BnB which has been wonderful as Ive decided to now take the relaxed TTC approach. Im using my CBFM for the first month this cycle and I love that little machine! Makes things very clear and simple.

I tried low dose Soy this month to try and bring Ov forward a bit but nope, nothing doing. Ive either ovulated yesterday or Im ovulating today so when I get home later this evening I plan to jump DH for one last time! lol :haha: I phoned him from work just now to tell him to make sure he has a nice dinner and to relax so he has plenty of strength for some BMS (Baby Makin Sex) later tonight, lol!

Nice to see a few new girls on the thread since I last checked. Welcome and :dust: to the Noobs! Hope the Old Girls are ok too!

We've had a brief lull from a nice patch of BFP's so ladies....let's make sure the end of this month is resulting in some lovely, juicy :bfp: s!!!!

Good luck!

PS. Below is the new and updated list. Please let me know if there are any errors. x

Hi Mrs P and all new (and not new) people!

How's things going?

I'm on to a new cycle and hoping (again) that it'll work out this time. Bloody good thing really, I've just started with the CBFM and wouldn't want to have spent all that money for nothing!

Keep well, all!

x
 
can anyone help or point me in the right direction...?
A lot of you ladies seem to use some hormone things? you mention different products you use to increase your ovulation, lengthen luteal phase? special lube? things to help settle the monthly cycle and regulate it? Iv not heard of any of them, and wouldnt have a clue where to find them!!
They may be able to help me get my monthly cycle back on track after mirena!!
Thank you, lots of luck and sticky :dust: to everyone.xxxx
 
Hiya lucy,

Well, I'm not much good with the added extras (apart from a conception vit which I take every day) However, if you do use a lube, you should change to a conception-friendly one as most lubricants are pretty good at killing/stopping sperm in their tracks! You can buy conceive + at Boots or Pre-seed on Amazon. My DH prefers Pre-seed but there's a big discussion thread talking about this on the main board! I found it was a good particularly if you don't have a lot of EWCM. ( I didn't get ANY EWCM until about month 7...)

x
 
oh MrsPop Im on the list!!!!! hehe:haha::happydance::happydance:
Thank you! I feel all excited again now, so love this thread!!!
:dust::dust::dust:xxx
 
lauraclili thank you!! Might invest in some of that to keep the OH happy, seen as saliva is a major no no!!!:haha::blush::haha::winkwink:xxx
 
lucy, I would seriously recommend not stressing or thinking about adding in extra supplements until you've had a couple of cycles.

I only say this from experience. I was Uber Anxious initially once I had my Mirena out and started charting straight away. My first cycle I had a 28 day cycle and I only had a 10 day Luteal Phase which was so distressing and was planning to get loads of supplements in. However, my 2nd cycle was a 32 day cycle with a 13 day luteal phase which just showed I should never had panicked my first month as my body was clearly sorting itself out post Mirena and it takes, unfortunately, a bit of time for it to do so. I know that's not great when we're so impatient for our BFPs but thats the way things are.

I did try some low dose Soy Isoflavones (which I got from tesco) this cycle. People use this as a 'natural' form of Clomid to promote ovulation (in case of those with PCOS who dont ovulate/ovulate irregularly). I dont have PCOS, so m intention was to try and bring my ovulation forward. It hasnt worked at all. But I dont need to take it really, as I definately ovulate according to my chart and the fact I get blinking painful ovulation pains every month!

I also tried some Vitamine B 50 complex this month because although my LP was great last month, I did have a bit of spotting. However, I had to stop it after a week as I had terrible side effects. However, there are plenty of women who take it with no side effects.

What I suggest, after going through such stress and trauma over the past 2 and half months is to try and calm down a bit, stop being too impatient and try and allow your body to settle down after Mirena. I may sound harsh but it comes from 2 and half months of pure and utter stress...which doesnt do ANYONE any good if they are TTCing as high stress levels can hinder conception.

Are you charting? I think that is seriously useful, particularly early on in your TTC journey. It will allow you to learn about your own body and see where your fertility patterns happen. Once you've given it a couple of cycles to allow your body to settle down, you may identify a problem that may need a supplement. However, you may find your fertility patterns are fine and dandy and you dont need the extra help some ladies need! Check out Fertility Friend, its a fascinating site!

Hopefully you are taking your folic acid regularly, which is important for fetal development and prevention of neural tube defects like spina bifida.

Good luck!
 
I had my Mirena removed today after having it fitted at the end of Feb 2010 (so nearly 8 months). So we are now not trying but not preventing ;)

I had horrendous trouble with the Mirena for the first 3 months (pretty much non stop bleeding) but after it settled down I was quite happy with the Mirena.

I still had a period (well monthly spotting) when it was fitted. I was terrified about having it removed but it did not hurt at all!

Good luck to everyone and fingers crossed for :bfp:
 
MrsPop thank you so much for such a long message, means a lot.x I think Iv jumped into this ttc with my eyes closed, expecting mother nature just to happen, think its gonna take a bit of patience too:wacko::shrug:!

Iv not long joined FF, got a calender running but not temping or anything yet, would you recommend starting?? I am taking folic acid, and cutting out caffeine and all that! Will phaps give it a few months before anything else!

Its hard to know when anything is due or happening at the mo cause Iv not had a full period for 6 years apart from 3 days heavy post mirena, iv put that in as my af for now.

Thank you again for all the advice, Iv felt so much better since joining this thread!!

Love and hugs and :dust::dust: to you.xx
thank you.xx
 
Not a problem Lucy. You remind me very much of myself when I started all the TTC shiz. It's not that you've jumped in with your eyes closed, it's more your way of thinking has changed. We've all been told since we were teens that we would get pregnant immediately with unprotected sex...and we spend our mispent youth trying out best not to get preggy! So going from years of that to desperately wanting to get knocked up is very disconcerting at first!

I had my mirena in for 4 years and no AF throughout and it was really scary when I got it removed as I had no idea where the hell I was in my cycle or if I ever ovulated. My cycles seem to have settled down quickly though.

Yup I really recommend temping because it'll give you a good idea when you ovulated and will help you detect your own patterns quickly. I love it!

You'll get there Hun, we all will :hugs:
 
Hi girls! I have a question for all you ex mirena girls!! Did any of you have lower abdominal pain anytime during your cycles postremoval? I felt fine for 2 weeks after removal then right before O i started getting abdominal pain. it didnt go away until after AF. Then i had another 2 weeks feeling fine and before O again it started up and im 4dpo and it still hurts. im freaking out i may have Endo or something. but i cant help but wonder if its the mirena instead bc it did not start until after mirena removal. Oh the other possibility could be pregnancy, but im not getting my hopes up just yet! Help!?
 
lauraclili can you tell me where the discussion is about conceive+ and pre-seed that you mentioned? Does one seem to work better than the other or is it just a comfort/preference thing? I actually ordered some of the pre-seed yesterday, just hoping I made a good choice.

lucyoz34 I'm eager to learn all the inside info too but I'm trying to be patient. I'm thinking I'm just gonna start with the pre-seed and some digital ovulation tests. My Mirena isn't even out yet so while I'm obsessed with pre-planning I totally just need to chill and figure out my cycle when the time comes! I know you just joined here recently too... how long has it been since you had your Mirena removed? Is this your first cycle TTC?
 
2ww! I hope I did enough :sex: to get what we needed.. I feel like I was under a lot of stress though due to work and home. I'm also having a hard time weaning myself off of coffee... PMA!!
 
HarliRexx - Its so easier said than done though isn't it!!! Hopefully there will be :bfp:'s soon and we can stop worrying!!
I had mirena out on sept 23, and cos i had no bleeding the whole time it was in I'm not entirely sure if I am in my first cycle yet. I did bleed heavily for three days after removal, so I'v counted that as my af, but Im not sure. So yea we've been :sex: like rabbits hoping that I have ovulated around the time the calender said I would:haha:!! And i did get really odd pains in my belly on the lower left side, around that time, so i could have been ovulating???
I really just don't have a clue tho!!!lol its either gonna be a :witch: or a:bfp: by the end of the month :haha::haha:!!
When are you having yours removed?? Are you goin to ttc straight away???xx
 
MEGARICE03 I know the feeling, 10 dpo today, not even gonna bother testing though untill I know Im late!! Have you tried decaf coffee???

Does anyone know whether its ok to be drinking loads of cups of decaf tea a day???? I love the stuff so I switched to decaf to stop the caffeine, but I just wanted to check that thats ok too!

hugs an :dust: for everyone.xxx
