The 'OFFICIAL' Ex Mirena Thread

[prettykitty]

Im sorry to hear about the all the BFN's chickies



lots of

xx

 

[MEGARICE03]

It's definitely a trying time for the TTC after Mirena Thread, but let us not give up hope! We had a wave of BFP'S and now a wave of BFN's. It just wasn't our time yet.

I am eagerly waiting for AF's arrival so that I may move on to my next cycle. I've also decided that if this is not my month, that I will NTNP for a while. My DH is very stressed out right now bc he doesn't have a job, and even though we both want our baby now, we are trying to be smart. I will definitely continue ttc though lol. I'm on a mission, but I'm going to relax and just let things happen when they happen.

Sounds like a brilliant idea megarice, things seem to work better when your relaxed an happy. My little sister tried an tried for 6 months this year, she literally got depressed, planned every month, temp, okp, and it just didnt happen. Was so sad to see. Then in august she'd had enough, threw the lot out and just stopped trying, her OH took her away for a few days and I looked after her lil boy. She then found out by chance in October that she was 7weeks pregnant!! All because she relaxed and just let things happen!! So lots of PMA to you girlies, just relax an enjoy the trying!!! Big hugs!!xxxxx

Thanks for the babydust, pip

Megarice, My DH just got laid off the other day so I know how you feel. And I really want to loose weight before getting pregnant but we both want it so bad that it's hard to wait! I was also thinking about NTNP if my test is bfn next weekend. I will think about it and see what happens.....

Well we are in the 2ww now - and apparently in makes me evil My moods are completely erratic maybe its the pent up frustration of waiting to be here and having to wait longer? hey ho ... at least i finally here properly right?

 

[MEGARICE03]

Calasen, I'm pulling for ya! Hope this wait got you back to where you need to be.
@ Lucy- Thanks, Girl! That was really encouraging. I just hate to wait!!
@ Butterflyangel- I'm glad you can relate! I like to plan stuff too and this is totally not in my plans lol I was thinking I'd be at least 2-3 months by now

NO AF yet and a big BFN to go along with it. I take it I'm out. My cycles must be really long ???. I never really paid attention to them before and with the Mirena I really didn't get AF so I'm lost!

Hope you ladies are doing great! Got some snow here today. Pretty crazy outside.

Good luck Megarice. You're not out until turns up, remember!

Do you know when you ovulated? If so, you can pretty much figure out when AF should turn up as it'll be about 14 days later... I was totally lost when I had my Mirena out as I hadn't had a proper period in nearly 7 years so I know what the frustration is like!

Thanks, Laura! I'm pretty sure I Ovulated right before Thanksgiving. I had some EWCM for a few days and then I started to have some spotting and red mucusy stuff for about a week. So.. I dk what that means or if I'm out because of it. Fx'd. I feel kinda nauseous right now but I'm not going to let that overwhelm me! I still had a BFN this morning.

 

[MilWife79]

The witch got me today! Right on time, from when I had my IUD out last time - perfectly on time. BIG FAT WITCH! LOL!!!

That's ok, because I'll hopefully be conceiving on Christmas - my ovulation date is Christmas Day!!

 

[MEGARICE03]

Hey Ladies! I don't see much activity is everyone ok? So in my world, I'm still waiting for AF... Hopefully I won't be in limbo for long. Gotta get this baby making moving! Even though I'm NTNP lol.. Have a great day!

 

[cliqmo]

Hello everyone, how is it all going???

So if you don't mind I would like to pick your (wise and experienced) brains please

DH and I are officially NTNP as we thought of WTT (arrival of little miracle would be more ideal after October 2011) but decided that as TTC can be a lengthy process, ws didn't have much cause to wait.

The net result is that we are not using any OPKs and not trying particular tricks to increase our chances (feet in the air after :BD: etc) but obviously I can still roughly Ov chart according to the arrival of AF- and I'm going a bit trying to work out when I'm most fertile!

I wonder if you lovely people could look at my cycle dates below and recommend what 'average cycle length' I should put into the online fertility calculators?? I realise BDing a lot over this time will best secure our chances, but I would still be intrigued to know!

As an aside my CM has been watery for 4 days but today has become more like lotion. Is this normal? I haven't really kept account of it before.

The all important dates!!
Mirena coil removed on 13th August 2010
AF 28-30 August
(31 day cycle)
AF 27-30 September
(32 day cycle)
AF 29-31 October
(29 day cycle)
AF 27-30 November

What would you say is my 'average cycle length' now?? Do you think it is too early to say we are in a regular cycle yet??

Advice/information/personal experience all very welcome

 

[Calasen]

I'm good - using games to distract me from the 2ww but also having a few health issues with the pets so having to focus on getting them well more then anything - unfrtunately one needs to be put to sleep today as hes too ill to live a quality life and its not curablr

Hi ladies,

I have been lurking around the thread to see how you have all been getting on. I'm keeping my fingers firmly crossed for all of you. As you know I had my Mirena removed on the 18th October. We haven't been trying really hard to conceive even though we would love another baby (we don't have the time or energy with our gorgeous toddler!) and I didn't do any OPK's. I just kind of guessed at when would be the right time. I have had erratic cycles before which just can't be predicted. However......I got my this morning . Me and OH are over the moon and I have told one other person and now you guys. We are keeping it from other people for the minute as it is very early days and I tend to worry until the first scan (well, until the birth).

Fingers crossed for everyone else and sending you all lots of

 

[cliqmo]

Fantastic news Poppy, congratulations

 

[BrandysBabies]

Oh Poppy!! Congrats!!! I am so happy for you!! My laptop crashed a couple weeks ago and I am still waiting on my new one that should be here on the 21st. As soon as it is in I will update the list with you BFP and all the others I have missed! Woohoo!! LUCKY THREAD!!!!

 

[Calasen]

Cliqmo, I would guesstimate that your cycle is coming back to normal! It's hard to say bc everyone is different. I, for instance, had a 34 day cycle after mirena removal and now I'm on day 35! I kinda feel like I have a stomach flu. But so far all BFN's.. I guess I'll wait until Thurday and test again.
