The 'OFFICIAL' Ex Mirena Thread

[lucyoz34]

Hey clairmichael, welcome to the thread! Just wondering when you had your mirena out?? It seems to take a while for things to settle down after removal, so I wouldn't be surprised if your cycle was a bit all over the place. I know it's an unwanted surprise, but its a good thing that af (period) has arrived because you can plot when you're likely to ovulate! Are you charting anything yet hun?xx

clairmichael yea the lingo takes a while to get used to!!lol There are a few ways to figure out what your body is up to, and charting all the info will help you see a pattern from month to month, so you can plan in advance when is best to !! Things like your period and temperature. If you go on to 'fertility friend', you'll be able to start your own calender and chart which you can update daily. I find it really useful, it tells you in advance when your likely to be at your most fertile!
I had my mirena out on sept 23, and its taken till now for my body to have a period(not that it was much). It may take some time for things to find their own rhythm again, but it will happen! Just gotta think positive and not stress!! If anything is gonna cause problems with baby making its stress!!lol
Fingers crossed for you hun, and if you want, start your charting from the first day of your period this month, and go from there.
Lots of and for you!! Keep in touch!xx

Hey all! I broke down and bought a test today. BFN.. AF still hasn't showed her ugly face either. I feel like I'm beginning to follow in Calasen's footsteps. I hope we get something rolling here soon. I'm getting confused now.. I'm getting mild nausea every once in a while, I had an increase in appetite today, I'm really sleepy all of the sudden. I don't know why it's relevant but I've heard it before that a runny nose and cold symptoms may mean something?? I dk. I keep saying I'm not going to test but then temptation takes over. Maybe I'll MAKE my husband hide them lol It becomes quite addicting.

Awww honey I really hope you get some answer soon its really frustrating not knowing Sounds hopeful though from your symptoms - but I get that too and I think they partly wishful thinking Although the doctor keeps telling me its still highly likely as many women have low levels of HGC early on and it wont show for a few months (here's hoping thats us! )

I say we plan a raid on the baby dust fairys house!! she needs to share more!!!!

 

[MEGARICE03]

Yes, let's plan this raid!! That FRER haunts me that looked like a BFP. Why would I get that and then a bunch of bfns?? Crazy! Keeping fx'd for both of us!

Aw megarice, sorry about the bfn

Curly123 - congrats on your engagement!

Hey! We are in the same boat megarice! So my mirena has been out since June and I have so many "symptoms" this month I could swear I am preggers but the HPTs seem to think otherwise!!! If all of this cramping and sore boobs and nasea and achiness is PMS then Mirena must have caused it bc I never got this before. This is the first month with all this junk and my pd cam back normal in July. I had 3 29 day cycles and the last was 35. Anyway i think I am 9dpo today. Perhaps I am "up the spout" (as juno would say) and it's too early for HPTs.

I have gotten like 5 BFN and a freaking pink evap line (i assume?!) on an FRER. I was excited when I sawa the line but seeing as how the next day's FRER was a BFN I guess it was an evap. So depressing.

 

[snipsnsnails]

Looks like I'm out this month.
BFN yesterday and today with Dollar store tests. I don't entirely trust them, but they're cheap and good for test-aholics like me. LOL

I'm 13 DPO today but most likely starting CD1 today or tomorrow.

My temp was down early this a.m. before I usually test, but I went back to sleep (never got out of bed) and tested at my normal time and it was within my normal post-O range still.

BUT spot found me today today. It was only once so far and then it went away...but I'm expecting AF to rear her ugly head later today or tomorrow!

On to the next cycle though. I'm happy that it *seems* things are going back to normal fast. And a cycle or two to build up uterine lining will be better anyway.

So frustrating!! I see super faint evap lines on my cheapie tests too...but I think that's normal.
It seems abnormal to have pink evap lines on the FRER? Was it after the time limit?

I know what you mean about symptoms! It must be from residual Mirena hormones or something. I felt so sick last night, I've been sooooo tired, and got the sore/tingly boobies too. uggh!

 

[lifechanging]

snips - I can't be sure if the line was before or after the time limit. I dipped the stick set it down and watched as the control line came up then got mad and trashed it. Probably 2 mins after I dipped it. Either way the next morning (yesterday) I did an FRER and today I did one and got BFNs. neither of those got the pink evaps, they are all white still, excpet for the control line of course. Idk. it's real frustrating. i would have though that the mirena hormones would be gone by now. I had it out exactly 5 months ago. I didnt get this PMS in any of the cycles before this. Well, last month I got a bit of back pain but it was only a couple hours right before AF showed. This has been 5 days at least.

 

[curly123]

Aww thank you Calesan and Mrs Pop for your congrats!

So... i purchased the VIP on FF last night - couldn't take it! LOL!

Wishing everyone well and lucky!

 

[MEGARICE03]

lifechanging- I feel some comfort in knowing I'm not alone. I just had my Mirena removed 9/27/10 and had some spotting for 5 days (which I counted as AF) and after 1st cycle, here I am waiting for AF or a BFP. The line I had looked SO promising and those BFNS are just so discouraging! That is why I rather wait before I test again! Either AF is gonna show her ugly face or I'll be 3 weeks late before I take another one.
I did feel some cramping yesterday as if AF was going to show soon but nothing! On to more waiting..
