Removal of coil, ovulation and conceiving

That sounds great Jod! get to it ;-)

Hi guys, soooooo 4.5 weeks after getting my coil removed and no AF.I was so confused after what was gong on that I started to use OPKs and today I got three very positive results! That coupled with EWC (lots of it) has me convinced I am going to ovulate! I'm cramping too. Sore boobs and a little nauseous. I'm convinced that this is the second time I have ovulated since getting the coil removed.

Glad it went well Abby!! Now the fun begins :)

It wasn't too bad, my gp had to dig around a lot for my threads which wasn't very comfortable but the removal in general was fine didn't even know she had taken it out!! :) no pain at all after either which I am surprised about as the pain after having it put in were similar to early stages of labour lol.
Time to get excited about TTC now x

How did you get on Abby?

Good luck!! Not that you'll need it- you'll hardly notice anything has happened (well, apart from the terrible small talk they'll make whilst trying to distract you from the fact that they are shining a bloody spotlight up your hoohah!!)

Ahhhhhh coil comes out tomorrow!!! Eeeek
Wish me luck :) :) :)

Oh and did you have symptoms like AF / PG symptoms while you were waiting?

muskateermummy what coil did you have? Where you still ovulating? What did gp give you?

after my coil was removed it took 6 months for periods to return after some medical intervention to kick start things. If your af doesn't return please get and appointment to see your GP, they can help

I can't even begin to imagine how she managed 7 weeks!! I don't know how I will react to my first AF whilst TTC- I'd rather she towed up early than late, less time to get excited!!! Probably a good idea about he blood test- can't do any harm right?!

7 weeks?! That's crazy!!!
I'm going to my GP on Friday for something unrelated but will ask about a blood test if I'm still not getting anywhere. Said to DH this morning that I wish one would show its face - I hate not knowing!

I've just been reading about a lady who was 7 weeks over before she got her BFP. I suppose you're not out til the witch arrives ;) fingers crossed you get some answers soon!!!

Yet again, no AF but a BFN on 2 tests. What is going on

Still no clue with me either - AF now 2 days overdue but only getting BFN. Haven't tested today but have bought a first response to try tomorrow morning. No symptoms of either PG or AF so no fucking clue.

How are you doing Jod? Any progress?

I'm hoping for a Feb baby too :) :) I'm April, OH is June, DD is September so would spread out quite nicely :)

Well if totally unfounded hope and lots of fingers crossing helps then I'm sure we will all be PG before we know what's happening!! Would love a BFP in May as that would make me a Feb baby most probably so would match OH :D

jod I'm the same just excited to get my coil out. I have high hopes of falling PG quickly so really worried I will be disappointed if I don't. Most threads I've read people who have come off mirena coil fell PG within a month or 2, but I see the odd one that's taken a lot longer....knowing my luck that will be me :( x

I am that person who has no clue what is going on. 1 month since mirena removal.

Hope AF either arrives or you get your BFP! I was really worried that AF wouldn't turn up for me and then I'd have no way of working out what was going on. Don't think we've ever looked forward to a period so much!

As a side note- who invented period pains? Holy bejesus I have NOT missed these guys.....

I'm in a similar boat to you huni, since 28th had mine out and still nothing happening. . feel crazy now tbh cos I just wish AF would arrive then I know I can really ttc so fed up of the coil dramas now lol xox

hi new to this site.. need advice pls .. so had coil drop out of position 26th March had to go have it out completely on 28th a very light bleed two days later and nothing since .. feels like I'm going crazy lol took a test this morning BFN 😡

So AF arrived this morning- never had anything more than barely visible spotting with my coil so this must be the real deal right?! Anyway I'm off to find my "ladies products" and work out when I should ovulate!!

Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend!!

I'm still getting cramps. I got my coil removed on 23rd March. I haven't had AF yet. I felt I ovulated on 28th and I had a few faint positives but they didn't get any stronger so I suspect a chemical PG. I'm just waiting and wondering what is going on.

Hi Nimisha, yeah I did get cramps too. It was horrible waiting for it to finish so we could get going; so I feel your pain!

I am now due AF tomorrow, and have been getting steady BFN for 3 mornings in a row. Today, however; I have been having strange "symptoms" - my stomach has bloated and gone rock hard from pretty much under my breasts down to my pubic bone. My boobs have been a bit sore/tender and I felt sick in the car earlier; which was a symptom I had before I got my BFP with DS. So I am feeling a little excited but trying to hold back.
