Ttc after Mirena -horrible experience

[mandagardner]

I had the Mirena for a year and it was fine when in but once it was out my body went nuts. I was bleeding heavily constantly, this past October I bled almost the whole month and I have had the Mirena out since March 2014. I ended up getting ovarian cysts constantly and one got up to over 2 inches big! I've never even had cysts on my ovaries before until after the Mirena! I was able to get pregnant with my two children VERY easily in fact both times I got pregnant the first time I was ovulating and trying. I've had less problems with cysts the past couple of months and I finally don't sporadically bleed all month long but still no pregnancy. I'm terrified that the Mirena destroyed my fertility. I'm trying not to stress myself out since that is helpful either but if anyone can let me know what I can do or take to help increase my fertility or what they did or even how long it took for them after the Mirena I would really appreciate it.

I came off the Mirena August 2013 and didn't bleed until October that year. Since then I've had very irregular periods (though mine is caused by PCOS). The best thing you can do is go to an obgyn and talk to them about it. It's possible your body is just having a hard time settling down into a normal pattern. I know I was warned that my cycles may be messed up for up to a year after having it removed. I wouldn't worry too much. Unless your obgyn says something is wrong more than likely it's just your body getting used to producing hormones on its own again.

So sorry to hear about this! I am a depo survivor and had a horrible experience coming off as well. It took years to balance things but my body needed help. I sought a nutritionist that recommended supplements and I researched herbs on my own. Acupuncture also can work wonders if you find a great practitioner. Good luck and baby dust to you!
