The 'OFFICIAL' Ex Mirena Thread

[lucyoz34]

Kylarsmom - Iv only been without mirena for just over 3 weeks, I have had cramping and weird aches in my lower belly and back, Id just put it down to my body getting used to being mirena free!! hoping it was ovulation too!!!xx Just have to wait an see xx

Lucyoz34- Yeah, not even being able to try yet is really frustrating! I'm having my uterus yanked out...uh...i mean having my mirena removed Nov 3!Unless my Dr. REALLY doesn't want me to we are definitely gonna start TTC right away.... 1st because the waiting is torture to me because I am such a pre-planner.... I just want my so I can start researching baby products and whatnot.

2nd, I've decided I just don't want to be at my current job much longer, but I would prefer to be pregnant/give birth while on my current health insurance at this job. So the sooner I get my the less time I have to spend here!

Plus it would be so exciting if it happens in time to announce it to my family when we visit them for Christmas!

I'll just have to take the same approach as you at first since I really won't know where I am in my cycle for a while. but for now... MUST... BE.... PATIENT........

I had my Merina out todayand it was completely painless, I haven't even had any bloody show yet. Dr said that "it" came out very easily. So we are going to wait one complete cycle ( just to get all the medication out of my system ) before we start TTC

 

[lucyoz34]

Uterus yenked out lmao, I love it!! Seriously HarliRexx it doesnt hurt at all, and is over in about 3 seconds!!
Its a shame you cant have it taken out sooner, give you more time to be prego before chrismas! Thats what Im hoping for, tell everyone on christmas day! My sister is 7 weeks, so it'd be gorgeous for our lil babs to grow up together!
Id love to start looking at baby things, and planning the nursery....., but Im so scared that might jinx things! So definitely lots and lots of patience and PMA!!!xx

 

[HarliRexx]

YAY for the easy removal! Do you mean till the hormones get out of your system? I've heard it doesn't take as long as the pill since it's a localized hormone, but I've read alot of conflicting info... everything from a couple days to a few months to get out of your system.

 

[lucyoz34]

Oh future_numan thats sooooo exciting!! Congrats on joining the post mirena girlies!!
Did you have normal cycles and bleeding with it in??xx
I dont think Id have had the patience to wait a whole cycle even if it had been suggested to me!!lol Hope things go well for you

 

[HarliRexx]

Yes, for now I'm just going to focus on pampering myself! I figure a happy, healthy me will make my uterus a happy, sticky vessel!

 

[lucyoz34]

I think it is different for every woman. But it does seem on here that if you had a regular cycle with mirena then your body seems to return to normal quite quickly afterwards. Though thats not true for everyone.
The advice I had was to start charting temps and stuff straight away so you can learn very quickly what your body is doing and when.xx

 

[lucyoz34]

That seems to be the general consensus, that if your happy and relaxed about things, thats when it all happensxx

[BrandysBabies]

I guess just because it's been in there for almost 5yrs! Lol! I am picturing it imbedded in my uterus and no way of getting it out! Lol! Things dont usually run smooth in my little world! Lol!

First off...positive thoughts my girl.....Good luck

 

[BrandysBabies]

Well, I'm home! It's done! I can have babies now! Lol!

Not a fun experience at all! My strings were super short! Plus my uterus was extremely high! Of course it couldn't go smooth. The Dr. had to use three different size spectrums, one being VERY VERY LARGE before she could even see the strings. Then she made me cough about 15 times to bring the strings down. Then she had to call a nurse into the room to hold a light so that she could use both hands to get ahold of the strings, all of this was VERY uncomfortable!! Then she said, "Ready, 1, 2, 3...........................and it was done. No pain! Lol! By the time I left the office my mouth was so dry that I had DH pull straight into McDonalds for a diet soda! Lol! But it's over with! And now I can focus on losing weight and TTC!!! Yeah!!

Okay, I'm gonna post this here and the main page cause I need a quick answer. I just started bleeding. Can I use a tampon or should I use a pad?

 

[future_numan]

Brandys..sorry it was so awful for you, I guess I was very lucky,,just look at the good side..now it's baby makin' time

 

[Calasen]

just use a pad honey for comfort - you may only bleed a little

 

[BrandysBabies]

Thanks! All better now! Lol!
