Removal of coil, ovulation and conceiving

157 replies

kpreenien · 10/03/2016 17:50

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

Excellent! So pleased it went well for you - now the fun really begins! Grin

Jod1985 · 23/03/2016 16:10

Done!!! And didn't feel a thing! Relieved and nervous

Jod1985 · 22/03/2016 22:07

Getting it out in a Specialist woman's clinic.

Mammabear31 · 22/03/2016 21:48

If they're struggling ask them to use a longer speculum - they had to do this for me and she had it out in seconds.
Will be thinking of you!!

Jod1985 · 22/03/2016 21:40

I'm really afraid of it being embedded. I can't feel my strings. I really hope it's a straight forward removal,

KayJBee · 22/03/2016 21:24

I had a mirena, bit of a bugger to get out. Strings were AWOL when gp tried so got sent for a scan to make sure it was still there. It was. Then sent to a specialist clinic when rooted around a bit then ended up with a local anaesthetic while they found it.
Got pregnant straight away, didnt have a period between removal and pregnancy.

Mammabear31 · 22/03/2016 21:14

My GP couldn't find mine at first, she had a good rummage and they soon appeared Smile

I've not had a lot to be honest! I was expecting an awful period but I've had 1 day of light bleeding and 2 days of spotting. The odd cramp/twinge but that's all.

Jod1985 · 22/03/2016 21:10

What have your symptoms been since getting it removed?

Jod1985 · 22/03/2016 21:08

I keep thinking mine will be embedded. I still can't find the strings Blush

Mammabear31 · 22/03/2016 20:53

I was too, but unnecessarily it turned out - it was totally painless (albeit undignified!) and I was in and out within 10 mins :)

Totally get why you're nervous though Flowers

Jod1985 · 22/03/2016 18:02

Thanks mammabear, I'm really nervous!! It's in the afternoon.

Mammabear31 · 22/03/2016 17:52

Good luck for tomorrow Jod! Will be thinking of you x

Mammabear31 · 20/03/2016 10:34

No Christmas baby for me; starting bleeding this morning. I forgot how horrid the inconvenience of periods are!!!

Jod1985 · 18/03/2016 19:26

Keep us updated and I'll let you know how Wednesday goes!

Mammabear31 · 18/03/2016 12:37

I would LOVE a Christmas baby kpreenian! Grin

Mammabear31 · 18/03/2016 12:36

I'm fine thanks Jod 😊 DTD last night (sorry TMI!) no pain or bleeding. We are good to go!

I hope Wednesday comes around quick for you, this will be baby 2 and I'm just as excited as well!

Jod1985 · 18/03/2016 12:05

How are you today @mammabear31?

I can't wait now until Wednesday to get mine out! I haven't obeyed the 1 week before rule Blush

This will be my third baby and I'm as excited as the first time!

We're starting to TTC straight away I think, if I wait for a period I might go mad - have had to wait long enough to get the damn coil out I've lost my patience!

Mammabear, I had mine out two weeks ago today and not bleeding, tiny bit of spotting day two/three after but nothing like I was expecting. Are you going TTC straight away or wait for your period? X

Mammabear31 · 17/03/2016 19:38

I was expecting the bleeding to start straight away. Nearly 12 hours after removal and I'm still waiting!

GrimmauldPlace · 17/03/2016 19:16

I had the mirena in for 3 years, no periods the whole way through. I conceived less than a month after having it out and before I'd even had a period. I also have PCOS so was advised it would probably take a while to fall pregnant after removal. Obviously not! Good luck Smile

LHReturns · 17/03/2016 18:41

Fluffy that sounds awful!!!!! I feel lightheaded just thinking about that! Hats off to you!!

MrsRolly · 17/03/2016 15:56

I had mine out in June then pregnant in the October took 6 weeks for my first period then the following were like clockwork. We weren't super actively trying either. Did not enjoy having periods again! Will be getting my coil back in after this one is born in July. But my best friend had hers out and was pregnant within the month. Good Luck to all TTC

Fluffy24 · 17/03/2016 15:37

LH it's when they use forceps to clip (basically pinch hold of) the cervix so they can straighten it a bit too put the coil in - in my experience it stung like buggery and I'm hoping that they don't need to do that on removal!
