The 'OFFICIAL' Ex Mirena Thread

[Kracker]

Hello all, well I think I have officially lost the plot!!! I swear I am pregnant, I have a couple of aches and stuff but nothing solid and no real symtons. I did an IC which was a BFN and I thought that would be it. Unfortunately I am convinced for no good reason that this is the month!!! Argh!! How devastated am I going to be if the witch shows on Tuesday?? Hope everyone is ok xxx

So I did test and it was a BFN, but Im not too very upset about it...I was in the hospital and surgery twice in 30 days so it threw off my CD a bit...I had AF the 17th of aug, then the second week of sept i had another one...I have no idea where in my cycle i am, all i know is come the 28th of oct i will have been trying for one full year. I am starting my clomid this CD so at this point been cramping something awful.the last couple of days but no BFP and ovulating either...So I hope af gets here soon so i can start up charting and take my meds like a good girl....I want a BFP for christmas!! we found out about our son two years ago christmas eve...so maybe that will happen again

 

[butterflydebs]

Thank you for doing the list Mrs Pop, have tested again and still bfn and still no sign of AF so frustrating feel in limbo x

 

[KittyKatBabe]

Well I tested today 12dpo, nothing!!! Plus getting major cramps so the is defo on her way! I am out this month I know it.

On to 2nd month with cbfm............all we can do is what we are doing, I too just want my christmas I know it could happen, but also thinking maybe its not meant to be!

Not on a major downer, just wish it would be something different instead of the same thing each month...

GL to the rest of you this month and big to the rest of us x x x

Here's some monday PMA for my lovely Mirena Gals!

Keep the faith everyone...those BFPs are around the corner for us all

 

[KittyKatBabe]

Back at ya ladies.......not enjoying Monday - just a bit glum......I have started spotting but not classed as my first day - reckon that will be in the morning. So soon as its out of the way I can get on with cycle 2.

The good bit is my cycle seems to be a pretty matched cycle, a 13/14 day LP 25/26 day cycle, also means that the next cycle will land before we go to Tenerife, so if she did come at least I don't have that pain on the holiday!

 

[lauraclili]

Sorry for the spotting KittyKat. Next month is a good month!

How is everybody today?

x

 

[Calasen]

Wishing everyone there very soon

I'm pretty ok today but soo tired I slept through most f it and am now 3 days late for AF *FX'd its a good thing* waiting on results from doctors.

 

[Treykid3]

Just checking in. Sorry for all the AFs.
At what point should I throw in the towel and go see my midwife ?

 

[Kracker]

AF due tomorrow and I think she is coming!! I have been a moody cow all day and had af type tummy pains. Will let you know though. Good luck everyone xxx

 

[KittyKatBabe]

Well my spotting became full - its strange, I get more wound up about it in the run up and when its here, I just think 'stuff it' onwards and upwards!

This one came 2 days earlier, but I still have decent enough LP, its giving my average from last 10 cycles as 27 days.

Well at least Monday is out the way soon, I just want more energy for the rest of the week.

 

[MEGARICE03]

So day 8 post removal and I've been spotting and cramping since day 5. I'm coming down with a cold, it seems, but the one symptom that stands out is Nausea. I'm not gonna give my hopes up yet, since it's too early to even think about it, but I thought it was interesting. Happy Monday everyone! (As happy as Monday's can be!)

hi ladies, I believe this is a great place for me. I also havent read all the posts but, from what I can see i may be the longest with out my mirena. My story...... I have been with my husband over 8 yrs, we have a 7 yr old son. I got my mirena put in about 8 weeks after my son was born. I had it for 3 1/2 yrs. I did have a problem with weight gain, and some moodiness, other than that all was good. My dh and I used condoms for about 6mo, then went to the ntnp, stage. After the mirena I actually started having some symptoms I see here, sudden anger spurts, still cant loose weight, and still irregular periods I was showing signs of pcos. Now I had gotten tested for pcos. about 3yrs ago. My doctor said I had no cysts and no other signs of pcos medically. he did put me on metiform to see if that did anything, it didnt. About 6mo ago dh and I had decided to start officially trying for number two. Now we want to try and have as little medical help as possible in concieving. We tried for about 2mo doing it the old fasion way. Now I am using cm and cp, and today I have started to bt chart. Problem #1 I still have irregular periods, af has been mia since july, Problem #2 I had a doctors apt last week and they say I am perfectly healthy. They did the regular pap cultures but being its been a week and no call about them being off I assume no news is good news, however not helpful when trying to concieve and having diffuculties. I am glad to see so many ladies on here have concieved after the mirena, I was starting to think that it had someting to do with it. O well it is great to be here and i wish you all the best of luck and baby dust for all!!!!! (ps sorry about the rant.)

Hi all! Wow there are so many Ex Merina gals here! My name is Brandy and my husband and I are soooo ready to have baby number 2! I still have my Merina in, but would like to get it taken out next month! I have had it in for 4yrs 8mths and I am so ready to have it taken out so we can start TTC. I have read so many horror stories about Merina, but I have to say that it has been so nice not having to worry about birth control for the last few years. I have however gained about 75lbs since my last pregnancy with many attempts at trying to lose the weight with no success. And I do get frequent headaches, but to be honest, I got those befoe Merina. Anyway, I am so excited to have found this group, and cant wait to share my baby joys with all of you!

I do have a couple of questions.......................................

How long have each of you been TTC since having your Merina removed?

How long should we wait to start trying after having it removed?

(I have heard conflicting debates on this question) I have heard that you have to wait for the lining of your uterus to build back up? But I have also read from others that you can start trying the very first month?

Also, I know NOTHING about all of the ovulation/testing/TTC stuff, so I am hoping to learn a lot from you all! Zachary, my 4yr old was a gift! Lol!

Hi welcome to the thread I am fairly new as well and i was in the same situation as u just a couple of weeks back anxiously waiting to get my mirena out. I got my mirena removed on September 28th and now im just waiting to get AF so i can count down to Ovulating time. I was also VERY worried about the risk of MC if me n my OH start BD right away but my doctor told me that i could start TTC right away and that there wasnt any higher risk of MC than your average woman. I think this cycle we will not stress about it too much but definitley on cycle2 i will probably get a CBFM and really track my ovulation

 

[BrandysBabies]

That is great to hear! I can't wait to start trying! Hubby thinks I am silly when I start talking about ovulation kits and such. His philosophy is that if we Baby Dance every single day, then there is no chance of missing ovulation! Hahahaha!

 

[Kracker]

No af and a very faint this morning. Off to buy a decent test this afternoon, then will keep you posted! xx

Welcome to the Thread! I am 9 days post removal today. I've done lots on research on this subject and even though subjective, this is my conclusion; Each woman is different and reacts to each situation differently. I have not heard about all these horror stories but did read somewhere that it is more about the body itself rather than the BC you use(Mirena). In other words, a MC could've happen with or without the Mirena. I also believe this is why some women conceive right after removal while others take a little longer. And SOO much goes on inside your body it's hard to say what causes what. My OB suggested I wait a full cycle to build up my lining for a home where the fertilized egg could implant really well in. This is usually true if you had light to no AF while you had the Mirena. My 1st Mirena I didn't spot at all but the 2nd one I was still spotting during AF. I asked her what would happen if I don't wait and she said that there really isn't any studies or personal experiences that would back that theory and a lot of her patients have conceived right after removal with no complications. That was good enough for me! So now I have no idea where I am in my cycle since I've been spotting for 5 days, so I don't know if that's my body's reaction to the removal or if it is AF. Regardless, I'm not taking extra precautions and I try to make sure my DH and I every other day or so. I'm trying to document my symptoms every day on my journal at "https://www.babyandbump.com/ttc-journals/426284-megarice03s-ttc-journey-post-mirena.html" And you are more than welcome to stop by and check it out.
