Removal of coil, ovulation and conceiving

Hi MNers,
I'm new on here and myself and OH are in early stages of trying for a baby.
He has two children from a previous relationship, I have none.
I had my coil removed last week (a week today) and I've had a variety of answers when I've asked how long it generally takes for my cycle to come back. I have ovulation sticks but as expected only a week in nothing as of yet. Can anyone share their experiences with me please?
Thanks xx
Grin

I had it in for just over 4 years doctor that took it out Said I will fall straight away not sure if he could see something as it took him 25 minutes to find my coil lol ( he said that when I had it removed with my middle child and I did fall within a few days of having it out ) if my dates are right I'm 11dpo today and I'm due AF on 11th ( I've just found out I have been taking the wrong pregnancy test ) if my dates are wrong then I'm only 5dpo today and due my AF on 17th. I have been having pregnancy symptoms i.e. Feeling and been sick, very bloated, loss of appitite xxx

I had a copper coil removed in December, they are only meant to be in for 5 years mine was in for 11 years and I never fell pregnant. Started taking the mini pill for precaution but stopped that last month so now waiting for AF to arrive on the 14th or a Positive pregnancy result 😀

Sazwest · 02/03/2017 22:58

hey all I need some help please if anyone can help my period arrived 17th feb 2017 and I had my copper coil removed on 21st feb 2017 whilst still on my period I finished my period the day after I had coil removed. I thought I was due to ovulate 1-6 march 2017 which is what I worked out on my calendar but I done ovulating sticks early and they showed i ovulated early works out 5 days after having my coil removed anyways I have had sex the day before I got the coil taken out and up until Tuesday28th feb. For the last few days ive been getting on and off cramps which I have never had before and ive been feeling really sick and I'm really bloated which ive never had.

Could I have ovulated straight after my period like its saying and is it possible I could be pregnant??

I'm not sure when my next period will be due and when to take a pregnancy test

PLZ HELP

Had my coil removed 25 July. Bled for 3 days after. Now having bad stomach cramps, feeling dizzy, feeling sick. New partner so have sex every day. No bleeding whatsoever while coil in. What's going on? AF? Pregnant? Anyone been through this? I'm 41, have 2 DD and 1DS. Would dearly love a baby with new partner however I know my age is now against me.

Reading with interest due to have mine removed next week. & want to ttc from September. I know definitely that my coil strings have wrapped themselves around the coil as on my last smear they referred me for us as they couldn't see or feel them. It should still come put easily enough though right?
I've had it in for 7 years no periods in entire time

CatNip2 · 28/07/2016 18:03

I had a mirena coil for six years, not a single period in all that time. The first one came back four days after it was removed. I have had periods every 23 days ever since Angry

I already had two DC at that time so didn't want anymore.

Jodders · 28/07/2016 17:54

Blowing baby dust your way! I found my cycle was all over the place after getting the Mirena removed. I was tracking ovulation but I must have ovulated very early in my cycle. When I discovered I was PG I thought I was just 4-5 weeks when I was actually 9 weeks! Had a light period when I was in fact pregnant.

Mammabear31 · 28/07/2016 12:48

Hey Jodders. Unfortunately I haven't got a BFP yet Sad am currently ovulating so fingers crossed for 2 weeks time please!

Congratulations!! Flowers

Jodders · 28/07/2016 10:48

I am 11 weeks pregnant now. I got the coil out March 23rd so got PG on second cycle.

Endmoor1405 · 28/07/2016 10:01

Just wanted to say that it doesn't always take that long. I got a BFP on the 5th of July after only having the coil out in April. Had a very long cycle and ovulated late but still only around 6 week. I have sadly miscarried since then but it didn't take us long at all to fall.

Jodders · 27/07/2016 16:07

Just wondering how you are doing mamabear? Did you get your BFP?

kpreenien · 27/05/2016 11:20

OK, so I've decided to post back on this thread as I had posted about having my coil removed and how long it's taken others to get pregnant. I found out 3 weeks ago that I was 4 weeks pregnant so looks like sometimes it doesn't take that long!! (3 weeks!!)

Fingers crossed for you Nimisha!!

I was exactly the same Abby, now I'm eager to get all the TTCing over with and it he 3 weeks time so I can find out if I've caught haha. Nothing like being ahead of myself lol!!!

AbbyH · 24/04/2016 14:16

Fingers crossed for you nimisha Flowers
Really hope this doesn't last long I'm so eager to start TTC x

Nimisha · 24/04/2016 13:58

I had spotting and cramps for 9 days after my coil was removed, but I had to go and have surgical procedure to get it out because the strings were lost. The surgeon said they had tied themselves in a knot.

As soon as it stopped I got to it with the dtd and got a positive opk three days later. I've now got nine days until test day eek!

AbbyH · 24/04/2016 13:31

Ahh it's horrible I hate it! Girl probs haha.
I've had backache for the last 2 days I guess this explains why...
OH is away this weekend so luckily he hasn't had to deal with me moaning about it.
Was wanted to start nookie week tonight when he is back but I guess that will have to wait until this bleed stops :( :(

Lucy1308 · 24/04/2016 11:22

Abby I know that feeling well!! I spent two days with awful backache moaning to my OH about it before I gave in and took painkillers!! And to think OH used to worry that I'd accidentally fallen pregnant because I'd not had a period- poor guy can't win now!! Although I don't think he's going to be doing too badly out of the deal really haha! Pleased AF turned up so soon though Abby, it did for me too and I was relieved that I didn't have to spend weeks agonising about whether I was or wasn't pregnant/ovulating!!

Fingers firmly crossed for a BFP dippy!!

Cake time!! Cake

dippypanda · 24/04/2016 11:14

Hi guys, hope you don't mind another, haven't been on forums for quite a while and just found this thread Smile
I had my mirena coil out on 8th April, been in nearly 5 years no periods for most of that time... Had heavy bleeding for about a week when the coil was removed. I think I ovulated but I don't really know so I'm currently in my TWW.
Hoping to test around 4th may but just bought some IC cheapies which should arrive next week...
Good luck to everyone for their sticky beans Thanks

AbbyH · 24/04/2016 10:51

TMI........

So I've woke up this morning and got a nice reminder of why I loved the coil for stopping my periods!! Haha
Heavily bleeding Shock did not expect that to happen so quickly it's only been 3 days!!x

Lucy1308 · 23/04/2016 19:13

Abby to me it just sounds like spotting and irritation from the coil removal- especially if they had to hunt round for it. I didn't get any spotting with mine but mine was out in seconds from spec in to coil out. If it helps then my AF after having the coil removed was very fresh if you know what I mean? Not as dark as I would expect AF to be, possibly to do with the fact that the coil thins your lining? Could just be the beginnings of AF?

I wish it wasn't all such a guessing game!! I was glad my AF was quite heavy so knew what it was, but can see how it could be very light and just appear as spotting.

Sorry about AF Mammabear but at least you know the deal! Fingers crossed we are all on our last cycle for a while now!!

Mammabear31 · 23/04/2016 16:13

I'm out! AF arrived today, so at least now I know. Fingers crossed that this cycle is my last :)

AbbyH · 23/04/2016 13:01

So I'm on day 2 after removal.....getting mild cramps now and (TMI...) a lot of what looks like fleshy, pale pink mucus coming out Confused I've read a few people have experienced this.....can't say it's pleasant haha. We DTD on Thursday night after removal, passed on TTC last night as I was feeling rather sick and I've been really tired since it came out on Thursday not sure if it's related in any way though.

Has anyone else has this? X

Tabitha78 · 23/04/2016 12:38

Hi! Thought I'd just add my experience into the mix. I had my copper coil out on cd5. I regularly have a 27/28 day cycle but this month was an epic 38. I did find the coil removal quite uncomfortable so I don't know if my body just wasn't very happy after or what. But anyway here's hoping for normal cycles from now on!

Lucy1308 · 23/04/2016 07:11

Sounds very promising Jod!! Shag week it is ;) I'm on CD7 so waiting a couple of days and will OPK too in the hopes I am now back to normal!! Woo!!
