The 'OFFICIAL' Ex Mirena Thread

[lucyoz34]

Very well said calasen hun x this is a fantastically positive thread that has given many ladies, myself included, so much confidence and support through some happy and horrible times x my mirena was brilliant and gave me six years of period free bliss. However as with all birth control, your cycle is affected somewhat. This rectifies itself for everyone over a period of time. Some quicker than others. Congratulations on your BFP poppy2012 x I do suggest you read back through this thread though and get to know some of these lovely brave ladies, they are an insiration x

 

[lucyoz34]

Welcome back melsy x nice to have you back x hope your feeling ok xx

 

[melsy_11]

Thanks Calasen! I'm glad to be almost done, it has been really hard and I'm finally starting to feel better emotionally and physically. Looking forward to being able to try again but actually glad to have 12 weeks before I can even think about it, hopefully it teaches me more patience lol. Before all this I was definitely obsessed , it's hard not to be when you want it so bad! Lots of luck ladies!

 

[melsy_11]

Thanks Lucy,glad to be back! Feeling much better than I was that's for sure.Hope all is well with you?

 

[lucyoz34]

Good to hear melsy xx Im not bad thanks, in cycle 7 post mc, its all getting very frustrating and hard to stay positive, but I'm ever hopeful x first cycle taking soy too, not entirely sure we bd'd enough though, might have to take it again next month xx good luck to you hun x

Calasen how you feeling hun? I totally empathise with the stress of it all, it just seems endless xx

Hope the rest of you girlies are ok, welcome to all the newbies xx

Melsy I'm glad to hear you're ok

So I'm really questioning whether I should continue on this ttc journey
- I desperately want one but just not sure I can handle it anymore the emotions.
I just walked out of a baby store almost crying - shopping for oh brothers wife baby shower . I don't even want to go to it.

I'm just not coping well- I want to feel like my old self and stop focussing on this
I guess I need to do alot of thinking- thanks for listening

 

[Calasen]

Oh Honey I am totally with you there. Its hearbreaking time and again to see others get what we want. If I was you i'd take a time out - I did and it helped - and cancel your attendence of the baby shower - send your apologies and a gift card (get OH to get the gift card) and spend time blocking out all baby stuff but dont give up just yet.

We are all here for you and if you want to talk a bit more privately then you can inbox me any time.

 

[pdmcd17]

Thanks Calasen
so last night oh asked me what was wrong and we had a long long talk about both our fears and my emotions. It was really helpful to hear both sides and to trouble shoot some of our issues.

I did realizes some of my fears about it also stem from my past issues with my ex and raising my kids basically alone- he isn't him and i have to remember that.

my oh was so amazingly supportive and says we shouldn't give up if it is meant to happen it will. He did say he loves me no matter what and whether we have a baby or not that will not change.

We are still ttc but i am not sure if we will go through with the fertitily dr (but it is a few months away and i do change my mind alot. I think I am gonna ov in the next day so hopefully i can keep my sanity but today i do feel less stressed on the issue.

I do think i will go to the shower - it is a fact of life people have babies and I can't hide away (I am still shocked at my reaction though i guess shopping for someone else instead of the walk by browsing really hit home i want one).

i figure i will have some wine after the shower and be happy for the soon to be mom.

It is so nice to have a supportive group of ladies who know what you are going through in all fronts. Thanks ladies

Well hopefully 7 will be your lucky number Lucy! I know it's frustrating, stay strong it will happen for you!
Pdmcd17 , You had it right when you said this is a journey, it is, and it’s so emotionally hard. All you ladies are so strong and when you get your bfp it will just be that much sweeter! It’s nice to have this thread though and know you are not alone. It’s hard when it seems like everyone is pregnant and wondering when is it going to happen for you, but I believe it will happen when it’s meant to, even though that’s probably not soon enough lol. Stay strong ladies!

Hi ladies....just a quick update....AF arrived this morning so no honeymoon baby for us and on to cycle 5....

 

[kyla5952]

Hello I am new to these threads. I never had to deal with the 2 week wait since both my boys were birth control babies (one on the pill the other on the ring)
We decided we wanted to try for a girl and my 5 years was coming up for the mirena. I had monthly periods every month with it for 5-7 days.
On June 29th I had it removed my midwife said I should have a period soon after and then I would O again. Based off this information I didn't think it would be possible to get pregnant until after I got that first period.
On July 3rd I woke up with slight cramping and decided to take an O test and got a positive! No period had came.... On July 4th I got the O spotting and the temp rise on July 5th to confirm O was July 4th.
Since then I have had a long list of symptoms every day it is something more than the day before I have sore "porn star" nipples that have the little bumps everywhere (I counted 7) I never have these unless I am preggos. And my stomach is upset all the time and making noises. Could I already be pregnant without ever having a period after the mirena? Sorry to ramble I am just so nervous if I am pregnant it wont stick:/
I took a test today and of course it was going to try again on Thu I think...

 

[melsy_11]

Welcome Kyla! You could definitely get pregnant without having a period, don't stress yourself thinking about the negatives. I would wait a while and take another test.

pmdcd17 Your conversation with OH sounds exactly how mine went with my OH. I understand how you are feeling. My ex told me that if I wanted another child it would have to be with another man because it wouldn't be with him. I pretty much brought up my son alone, even during the marriage and fared a lot better afterwards without him. Just thinking about TTC (and we thought about it long and hard for a couple of years before even trying) made me worry that my OH would turn out like my ex. That may still happen but I have a good feeling it won't. Like you, I found it difficult to look on people having babies when I wasn't. All I could hear was the tick tock of my biological clock and all the doubts about whether I'd left it too late.

Well, clearly I haven't left it too late as my siggy now shows. There is no reason why it can't happen for you and I believe that relaxing a little and enjoying what you have now, whilst occasionally dreaming about what you might have in the future, will do the trick.

Sending you some extra special sticky

PIP thanks hon
i love watching master mcn buys - i cant wait to be in the same situation.
IT is nice to know others are in the same situation ttc and in life
It is nice to be able to vent as friends sometimes don't get it.

Thanks to everyone I love the support we all recieve and give to each other.

 

[lucyoz34]

very well said pdmcd x I love this thread

Im sorry af got you gardenofedens x PMA for next month hun, it might just be your turn x

Welcome Kyla, it could easily be your month, dont get yourself too worried about it all, that will have more of a negative effect than anything else x if your not pg, at least your body will have a little time to sort itself out ready for your next cycle xx

good luck girls xx

 

[melsy_11]

Well Ladies , I got good news today, the results from last lab was 0 so I can start taking my vitamins again! No more weekly torture lab appointments, yay! So glad to finally be able to move on from that whole thing, it was so bad at some of my lab appointments I was barely able to make it out to the parking lot before bursting into tears about having to sit in this little room surrounded my pregnant women. I'm looking forward to better days! Now the countdown begins for us ttc again!
Good luck ladies!
