The 'OFFICIAL' Ex Mirena Thread

i dont know how to chart does FF do that for u? is a long luteal phase good or bad? wow i thought u ovulate closer to CD14 i was way off:wacko::wacko:

Fertility Friend is really good, it charts the info that you input and helps makes thing more clear for you.

A long luteal phase is fine, a short one isnt because you need a decent length in a luteal phase to sustain an fertilised egg.
 
Thanks for the warm welcome! I just had to come in and post! I called Planned Parenthood today to see how much it would cost to get my Merina taken out. I was going to wait until next month after we move but just cant! Lol! The lady at Planned Parenthood said that I could come in as early as NEXT WEEK!! It will cost me $135 to have it removed, but it will be sooooo worth it!! This is starting to feel real!! Yeah!!!
 
Congrats officially Kracker and Mum2mills x x x

MrsP - You will not be the only one left in the thread, you will graduate I am sure of it. x x

Welcome to any noobs and gl with the removal Brandy!

Thank you for the hot water bottle advice, I gritted my teeth through it in the end, i seem to have 1 horrible heavy day of it then today its subsided a lot,just an odd twinge.

Lets keep those happy, sticky, healthy :bfp:'s coming over the next few weeks, maybe mine will come for halloween too................woooo hoooo, I would like it to happen, but I got my last :bfp: on halloween last year but ended as a very early loss.........mmmmm superstitous...........should I be????????????
 
So when I had my Mirena IUD first placed 8 years ago it was brand new thing..I was told that you had to have at least ONE child already. And my doctor made me go home and talk to the then SO and see if he wanted me to get it as well... I thought that it was a rule for the mirena. Have they changed things around? Im noticing alot of people getting it removed and ttc # 1. Just seems with all the issues you COULD have with this IUD that having at least one child should still be a rule, KWIM?
 
Not at all Mommyof2peas. The issues women have after Mirena are likely related to previous undiagnosed problems and the studies of Mirena associated with fertility are very very reassuring. 80% return to fertility within one year and 94% return within 2 years. Its the unfortunate few percent where there are likely previous issues.

Lets not forget also, Mirena is a treatment for conditions such as Endometriosis and of course, Endo can affect fertility (dammit!).

The Copper Coil is not restricted to multiparous (already had a child) women and the only difference between that and Mirena is the minute dose of Progestegin in the coil (which is actually a 7th less of the dose you get in BCP and acts locally rather than systemically therefore having less side effects). The main reason its used with caution in nulliparous women is the fact it is more painful to insert due to the smaller diameter of the cervical os in women who havent had a child.

I was given Mirena for my Endo when I was 23 and Ive never EVER regretted it. If it turns out I struggle with conceiving then Im not going to blame Mirena, Im going to blame the real cause of it - My Endo. It was the best thing I ever chose to have and I fully intend to get another one if I am lucky enough to get pregnant again.

I know some people have experienced side effects and I do feel for them but Mirena does not affect fertility, although I can understand why people feel they need to blame something. It would not have been licensed and made available if it did. In fact, they are planning to extend the time period you can have it in for 7-8 years.

I experienced minimal side effects and the only noticeable difference is that my mood is a *bit* better since removing it but Im willing to accept the side effects because of the freedom from pain Mirena allowed me. Im now struggling with my periods since removal because the excruitiating pain has returned and I miss Mirena more than ever!
 
Sorry I haven't been back to update I was feeling pretty disappointed. I was supposed to test on the 16th BUT I was way off on O, I must have O'd around that time. I got my BFP this morning!!!!!!!!! Congrats to everyone else that has gotten theirs while I've been gone and good luck to everyone else! <3

Congratulations Mommyof3co!!!! that is awsome...



I want saying that the mirena has anything to do with not being able to concive. I was just a bit confused...When I got mine there were all these rules :D I guess science has gotten over all the rules lol I was just wondering if I was the only one who got the speech about the mirena thats all :)
 
Ok ladies , here it is...TBH I cried..I tried to put up a strong front, But this is two diffrent test Im getting pink lines on...I know its still too early. DH joked " can we get a refund on the clomid??" lol of course I think I need another week of no AF and Ill test again, just to be sure..here are the pics. What do you ladies say?
