The 'OFFICIAL' Ex Mirena Thread

[DaddysGirl70]

Hey u guys...

So new blood work shows that my LH and FSH levels are extremely low as well as my other hormones being out of whack including my fasting blood sugar level (I am a confirmed non diabetic)... my LH is 0.77 and my FSH is 1.12... my dr. says in order to fix it I need to see a fertility specialist... which is not covered by my insurance...as it stands the Mirena has been out for 8 months and she says the chances of baby #3 without the help of a fertility specialist is slim to none... she is talking to other drs. to see if she can get better answers for me... problem is that no matter what I have to see a fertility specialist to get the medications needed to regulate my hormones so I can have a normal period and not nearly bleed to death each month and so the rest of my body can function properly... biggest issue is that the imbalance is damaging my pituitary...

So... no baby... no normal period... no fertility specialist... damage to my pituitary... failing marriage... struggling student... poor work attitude... bearly sleeping... seems all is just perfect for the holidays and the new year!

Goodnight ladies. Hugs to all of u and welcome missy.

Well if it happened naturally out of the blue then I'd be stoked with twins!! If I were going to have 4 kids in total I'd prefer twins for a few reasons plus they're adorable of course!

DaddysGirl thank you for welcoming me I'm so sorry for all of your difficulties, I can't even imagine what you're going through hopefully things start to look up soon! (((Hugs)))

wondering if you ladies could help me figure something out, I've got the period tracker app on my phone and for the last 3 months I've been putting my af dates in and such, as I kept getting af throughout the 2 years I had my mirena, it never disappeared like it does for some, and I was on the 4th day of my period (a light one) during the removal of my mirena and after the 5th day af finished, so based on that I should be ovulating on the 17th of dec in two days, but I bled for about 4 days 6 days AFTER my period at the start of the month ended, so just trying to figure which one was my period so I can know approx when I'll be ovulating without doing opk's and so I don't do a hpt too early. I've searched sooo much for answers but can't find anything similar so any insight would be great!

 

[Dawnnita_09]

Normally the bleeding you have after removal you don't count as your period. It is normally just removal bleeding.

Sorry girls I went off the grid for awhile.

Hope you are all looking forward to christmas and get to spend this time of year with those you love most.

I've come to dread this time of year and find myself looking for more and more reasons to avoid any children. Don't get me wrong I love all my nieces and nephews but this time of year just helps to drive home the fact that we still don't have our own or that it will happen for us any time soon.

Each year it gets harder and harder to see my facebook feed covered in babies and children. With either annoucements of more children on the way, sometimes for the 2nd 3rd or even 4th in one case for friends in the time we have been trying for one.

Following our MC on boxing day 2 years ago as well it adds just more bitter memories to what used to be the best time of year for me.

The diet is really struggling right now as my mobility has gotten worse due to bone growths on the inside of my hip joints. I now have and wheelchair for any journey more then 200 yards :S between that and the MS suspicion, which we are still waiting on a neurologist appointment for, It has me seriously doubting whether I really should be wanting to bring a child into my inferior life and risk passing on my conditions to them.

I'm getting really good at hiding how depressed this time of year makes me. Even my husbands doesn't see the true depth of my depression. Thankfully due to my conditions I can pass off most things and obligations by using my conditions as an excuse to bow out.

I still haven't met my newest niece whos nearing 4 months old now I just can't face her :S

 

[Dawnnita_09]

Well since Oh and I have decided to stop trying till after my surgery, I have had what I think was IB two days ago. I'm not due for my period for two weeks. I have 45 day cycles. I am going crazy not knowing what is going on. Has anyone on here ever experienced implantation bleeding?

oh calasen,. I'm so sorry. I wish I knew the words to say. I fear I'm probably the last person you want to hear from but I hope you know I think of you often and hope you can bring a lo into your life soon... hang in there.... hugs to you

Hi ladies,
Just popped in to say happy new year. I got so much support from this group when TTC and during my pregnancy, far more than I could have imagined from a group of ladies Ive never met!

Congratulations Gardens (thinking about number 3 already?! Must be addicted to babies!), Operation Babyo and Stacey (is bub here yet?) Calasen, I can understand that it is a hard time of year, I hope you managed to have a nice xmas despite the awful luck you've been having. I sincerely hope that 2014 brings you wonderful things.

We've had a wonderful 7 months with baby Oliver who is now rolling, sitting, commando crawling and very nearly saying dada. We are completely obsessed with him, still breast feeding (finally love it after a difficult start) and unfortunately back to work next week (not that I don't want to work, but I don't want to leave my baby boy). No immediate plans for baby 2, DH still to be convinced and Im happy enjoying every minute of Oliver until he's 2 or 3yo.

I hope you all had a wonderful Xmas and good luck for the new year

 

[Dawnnita_09]

Hey ladies... hope your holidays we good... I pushed thru them... it was whatever...

I went to see my new specialist this past Tuesday she ordered new blood work and I have an ultrasound sceduled for next Wednesday... Monday night I started spotting... if it was my period it was 2 weeks early... I only bled one day bearly... I have this awful pain in my lower left side and have been nauseous since Sunday... I woke up this morning at 4am with the same horrible pain I had from 3 months to delivery with my last son... I'm not sure what to make of all this but I feel very off... I have an appt with my primary doctor on Thursday... hopefully its not just another case load of problem symptoms and no baby...

I hope all of you are doing well... to all of you! I'll post after my ultrasound appt next week

 

[Calasen]

fingers crossed for you daddys

 

[Dawnnita_09]

Hope the best for you daddysgirl!

Hey guys... hope you are all well...

I did say I would update after my ultrasound...

Turns out I do have PCOS... My doctor has put me on Metformin, prenatal vitamins, folic acid, and iron. I have to lose 50 pounds if I want to have fewer symptoms. I am quite sad about this as this is the reason why I keep blowing up and looking pregnant... my ovaries looked horrible. My doctor is hopeful and wants me to be too... I am not though... I knew I was sick all year long and until now I was ignored and told all my problems were in my head. I might need some more time to cope with this. I have had to stop my antidepressant (given to curb my severe headaches) and now my headaches are back full force. Things are worse now than ever with my husband and I start back to school tomorrow. I am miserable. I am having a hard time figuring out what to do with my life at this point...

Talk to you all soon to all

Hi guys, since this all of you had mirena. I wanted some advice. I only had the mirena for two months. I got it out jan 10. I had some bleeding the next three days, heavy enough to be an actual AF. I ovulated on the 21 as confirmed by opkt, and pain and spotting.. Now I am 15dpo with no period in sight. I'm just wondering is this normal?

 

[QuintinsMommy]

Hello everyone!
I've had my iud for 4 years, and removed a few days now, I'm waiting to try till fall 2014,
so just wanted to say hello

Unfortunately we were all different honey. Some went right back to normal, some got pregnant right away and some are still waiting for normality.

I'm so sorry honey. PCOS is one of the issues making it hard for me but remember it isn't a definite no. At least now you have some answers and can start treatment. Thinking of you honey xxx

AFM - still on the weight loss journey, periods been MIA for 3 months now. Not sure where shes gone this time.

 

[Dawnnita_09]

I got mine out in August, had a mc in late September and now my period is out of wack. So like Calasen said it can be different for everyone.

Welcome to the page!!!

Daddys I'm sorry for the diagnosis but now you can figure things out and get going again.

Calasen sorry af is Mia, mine has been crazy too.

AFM I am 1week+2 weeks post op from hip surgery. I can already almost walk without help from crutches or my walker. Hoping to possibly start ttcing again in the next few months.
