[Ttcbabynmber2]

congrats curly on your bfp! =)

i wanted to let you ladies know that my OH decided he no longer wants us to have another baby. So i will no longer be ttc not that ive had much luck with it but anyway I cant even begin do describe the pain im feeling i litteraly feel like i was holding my baby and he took it away from me never to be seen again. I hope you ladies dont mind me still checking the thread because i have become very fond of you ladies and would love to know how u are all doing. =) gl and lots n lots of baby dust to you all!!!

 

[BrandysBabies]

Oh! I am so sorry to hear that! Did he give you a reason? Sorry, that might have been too prying. Maybe he just has cold feet and will come around. Please stay as long as you like. We like having you around!

 

[Ttcbabynmber2]

he said weve been fighting too much and he doesnt think our relationship is stable enough for another baby but the only reason we fight is because he wont BD so idk what he expects

 

[BrandysBabies]

Oh hun, I am sure this will pass. Maybe he just needs a little break and time for you to reconnect and then it will be time to TTC again.

Curly123 thats wonderful news sweetie!! Congratulations!! So so pleased for you!!!xx hehe!!!!xxxx

 

[BrandysBabies]

I think I am having ovulation pains! Woop! We BDed on the 15th, 17th, 18th, 20th, 21st, and 22nd. We will be bding for the rest of the week and probably next week too, just in case! Lol! I AM going to get pregnant this cycle!! Lol!

Lol, last night I have an allergy attack and had to take benadryl, which completely knocks me out. Before passing out I said to hubby, "I dont care if I'm in a coma! When you here me stop coughing, have sex with me!" Lol! He did! Hahahaha!

 

[lucyoz34]

ttcbabynmber2 im really sorry huni , you must be devastated.x But I think what brandysbabies said is likely to be right. Men deal with all this ina very different way.He maybe needs time just to see that your both on the same page?
Fx'd for you hun.x Please stay on the thread, things may change for you soon.xxx

 

[lucyoz34]

Brandysbabies your hilarious!!!! Thats serious determination!!!xxxx
Hope your ok tho???xx

 

[BrandysBabies]

Lol, I'm fine. I have REALLy bad allergies. And they usually only act up at night, so most nights I have to take Benadryl. Fortunately, I just read they are safe during pregnancy. I dont know what I would do if I couldnt take them. I get to the point where I cant breath! Lots of things set me off. Anything will set me off! It's like for no reason out of nowhere I will start coughing and choking and eyes watering. It probably doesnt help that we have a cat and that hubby is taking me to buy a puppy tonight! LoL! But I cant live without animals. I figure it is a small price to pay! LoL! Our cat thinks I dont like him because I never touch him! Lol!

Hello

I'm a lurker (and quite new to the forum), but I just had to post to say thank you to BrandysBabies for making me laugh.

Cheers.

Hi

As I mentioned above, I'm new here, although I have been lurking a little while.

During my marriage my first pregnancy (in 1995) ended in a miscarriage; and my second pregnancy (in 1996) ended with a gorgeous boy who will be 14 next month! After my son was born I was fitted with a coil and around 2003 I changed it for a Mirena. I can see from some of the experiences shared in this thread that it hasn’t worked out very well for some people, but I absolutely loved it and have never had any problems.

My partner (not the father of my DS) and I have decided to try for our first child together. I'll be 40 next month and he is 45.

My LMP on the Mirena was 14 October to 17 October. Prior to this I believe I experienced ovulation pains but there were no regular patterns to the 'bleeds' (although they were more very light spotting).

I had the Mirena removed on 18 October, and had very light spotting on 21 and 22 October. We decided that until I got my first period we would NTNP. On Day 16 of my cycle I had EWM (apologies if I'm using the wrong abbreviations!) and tummy pains that I associate with ovulation. My partner and I were intimate on 22 October and 31 October.

On 3 November (Day 21) I had one episode of very faint spotting. From the following day (4 November) all the way through to 11 November I had tender breasts, all day nausea and very light on/off cramping. The cramping has gone but I still have very tender boobs and on/off nausea.

On Day 39 I had half an hour of light cramps and one little spot of blood when I wiped. Other than that absolutely nothing.

I've done 4 tests - all negative – and it's now Day 41 and still nothing. It doesn't look like I am pregnant although a couple of weeks ago I would have staked my house on it. How long do you think I should leave it before testing again? Should I even bother wasting my money this cycle?!!! My last test with Clearblue Digital was BFN on 13 November (Day 31).

Does this ring any bells with you? Is it too early after Mirena removal for AF? Are these normal post-Mirena symptoms?

Cheers.

Thank you for your congrats girlies means a lot!

Pip - last month was the 1st month without the coil for me, we weren't trying cause I was advised to let my womb lining grow thick again for a cycle but I used ovulation predictor kits just so I could get to grips with my cycle and know when I ovulate....ALthough I used them quite a bit in that cycle I never actually got a positive to show that i was gonna OV....not sure what happened but thought I'd mention it...

Withdrawal from mirena can feel like period/preg symptoms a lot!! Maybe this is what has happened? You may not have conceived but feel like you have?

Alternatively you could very well be preg - some ladies don't see a positive preg test for ages and ages....8 weeks sometimes...

If you're worried and need some more support I would go to your doc for some advice and info/suggestions....

I'm not sure if this will help you but I hope it has if only a little bit!!

Good luck!

 

[MEGARICE03]

Pip, your symptoms are all too familiar! I too had some light spotting days after removal and I know of countless of us who have had the tenderness and nausea afterward. I counted my spotting as AF and my cycle was about 45 days. And OMG when I got my REAL AF it came with a vengeance! And here I am my second cycle after removal during OV. DH and I have BD for the last 4nights and hope to continue it for another 2 in a row! Just think of this hiatus as a way for your body to get ready. I honestly would wait to test again (as far as my experience goes). Even this cycle I plan on waiting until a week after AF is due to test, as to not get dissappointed. I say this now but watch, I'll be testing 5 days before I'm due lol. It's hard to contain oneself when you start feeling the slight bit of any symptom.

GL!

Hi Pip. I echo exactly what the others have said. I too had light spotting a few days after having the coil removed and had a nauseous feeling for about 2 1/2 weeks! i also did numerous pregnancy tests and all came back negative. This month (2nd month after removal) I am having the period from hell which is clearly my proper period returning and my body recovering from having the coil removed.

Fingers crossed you get a BFP soon.x

 

[Calasen]

I had a proper period straight after mirena removal but have only had spotting since - its all depending on how your body reacts to the coil and the increased hormones honey.

 

[Kylarsmom]

just wanted to update, i got my BFP today!!!!!!!!

 

[BrandysBabies]

Oh Kylarsmom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG! OMG!!!!!! I havent even been over to read the Thanksgiving thread yet!!! OMG!!!!! I AM SO FREAKING HAPPY FOR YOU!!!! I knew it!!!!!!

 

[BrandysBabies]

I have some weird shit going on! Lol! Okay, so yeterday I thought I was getting "o" pains. Dont really know what the are suppose to feel like, but from reading they are sharp little twinges where my ovaries are. All day yesterday, everyonce in a while on my right side. Anyway, my ticker says I "O" today. We BD at around 5am this morning an will agian tonight. My problem is that I was and am experiencing extreme pressure down there, like where my ovaries should be. To the point where I was VERY uncomfortable during sex this morning, but went ahead and dtd because I knew I was ovulating. Still lots of pressure! Plus my face is like dripping oil today!?! I have like 5 new breakouts today?!?! What does all this mean?!?!?

 

[curly123]

Hi hun, it's prob your hormones after having coil removed - mine went bit nuts!

Kylars mum congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[prettykitty]

congrats everyone on getting ur bfp's!!!!

Its been a little while since I checked on the thread.

Im still waiting to ov and have regular periods (removal in Aug, no bleed for 68days then a 5 week bleed!!!)

Now its been 3 weeks of no ovulation and no af again, but am getting weird crampy pains and a lot of bloating, which feel different to af pains so Im not sure whats happening now! Also my skins gone really fab in the last few weeks, which is a bonus out of all this (I think?)

At least if AF arrives I can buy my long awaited CBFM

Can I be added the list of ppl ttc on xmirena's please? xx
