Getting pregnant after Mirena removal

Hi all, how is everyone?

I had AF arrive the other day. Disappointing but only cycle 1 TTC so can't complain!! Onto cycle 2. My cycle was 26 days. So chuffed to have it so 'normal' and regular.

Oh good luck @EmmaA91 ! Amazing news about the smile . I was so happy when I got mine too. I think it’s amazing how quickly the body gets back to normal. Must be such a relief for you! Fingers crossed for you. Xxx

I had mine out in January after 8 years, been trying since and using OPKs - yesterday was the first smiley face I've had so think my body took a while to flush the hormones out - my last period was about 10 days late as well so I'm hoping all flushed out now! I was always lead to believe that your fertility returned shortly after it is removed so fingers crossed for us both ❤️

@watermelonwizard Congratulations!! How exciting! tested this morning and still bfn. I'm going to give myself a week- trying not to stress and retest. You'll have an early February baby. I just thought if I were to get pregnant, there's a chance the baby would share a birthday with big sis.

@watermelonwizard so pleased for some positive news! I am awaiting AF next Wednesday and the only symptoms I have are from hay fever which is awful at the moment!
Good luck to you all, looking forward to reading some positive stories!

Hi @Aferg32 ! omgosh I have read about people taking them out themselves, I feel faint thinking about it!!! Lovely to hear your positive story. Have you done any more tests since?

I am very happy this morning, I used a digital clearblue ovulation testing kit and went straight from a BFN circle to a static smiley this morning! I am delighted my body has gone back to normal after 8 years of the coil and I was on the pill before that. So a good 2 days in store for my OH lol!

How is everyone else getting on?

Hello all! I found this site searching ttc after mirena. Im 32 dh is 35 and our dd is 5. We made the choice and had my iud removed, well I actually took it out myself 5/3/20- I'm from the us- so the 3rd of May. I've not had a period in over 9 years!! I had an iud 4 years prior to our daughter, had it removed April 28,2014 and got a bfp June 7th, 2014. Had my daughter Feb 2015 and had my last iud a little over 5 years. I was due to get a new one before covid-19. I didnt spot or bleed before or this time. Its been 25 days and I saw the faintest line when I put a flash behind the test strip. idk if that'd be classified as a positive. Its not colored line, but you can tell the line would be there if it were positive. I looked at others taken before and that wasnt there. I took a clear blue(not the digital) this morning and negative still... so I guess the waiting game begins. I'll post a pic of the faintest line if i can figure out how.

just had my darkest line (still not that dark but better than the stark whites I’ve been getting!) happy that I think my body is getting back to normal so quickly!

@laura214 I need to go with the flow a bit more, I am becoming a bit obsessive which isn't good! I started with some cheap internet ones that detect your LH surge but now on the clearblue ones (started this morning) as they give flashing smiley faces when you're fertile and a static one when you are at your peak. I feel that now I have started I won't be able to stop!!! Maybe I will chill more when I ovulate as I know everything is 'working' as it should!

@M4v3r1ck amazing, exciting times ahead! Yeah I had light regular AFs with the coil and mine came on time, which happened to be 2 days after removal so not sure if that was a removal bleed or AF but I am going to count it as AF!

Good luck to everyone, I am excited to see how everyone's stories unfold! X

Thanks @watermelonwizard! 😍 Just finishing AF - she was bang on schedule (I always had a regular cycle even on coil), so this is me officially starting on Cycle 1!

Sending lots of positive thoughts and vibes to everyone for some BFPs soon! 😘😘😘

@watermelonwizzard I'm not sure tbh, if going by CM it was some point last week but I haven't been testing! Just 'going with the flow' at the moment to see how it all works! Fingers crossed you show signs ovulation soon, what are you using to test?

ps, belated welcome @laura214 ! keep us updated with your progress, fingers crossed for you! How long did it take for you to ovulate after removal do you know? X

@M4v3r1ck I'm so glad it went well. How are you feeling now?

I am on CD12 (I bled 2 days after the removal, was due AF around then so counting it as AF) and have been testing for ovulation every day for a while now and all negative. It is bumming me out a bit, which I know is crazy as it's only 2 weeks today I had the thing removed. It's just that I usually have short cycles and 'should have' ovulated by now. But hey, we go on tomorrow!

How are you all getting on?

@watermelonwizard amazing glad you got fitted in too! 😍

All went without a hitch! Was worried for nothing! Relaxing with a chippy and some Netflix now! 😈

Great to hear that your cycles all normalised fairly quickly! Good luck and keep us posted! 😘

hello @gk35 ! hope your cycle evens itself out soon. I had mine out last Weds (13th) had AF start on the 16th! I am tracking ovulation now to see if my body is back to normal yet....all opk tests have been negative so far but I am only on CD7. My cycles are only 24 days long usually, so we shall see! good luck to you and look forward to hearing your progress

Hi all, I'm going to hop onto this thread too. I had mine removed on 1st April, I had a few days spotting on 18th April then ovulated in early May. My cycle is now on day 35, no period but all pregnancy tests have been negative. I do think it takes a while to get your regular period back after IUD but glad I've had a positive ovulation test!

@monkeybean10 I have no advice sorry as June will be my first test (in almost 10 years!) but I have bought the first response ones after reading good reviews!

@M4v3r1ck exact same here with the appointment, was so shocked when they phoned me on a Monday to come in the Wednesday! Good luck today, it’s the start of the next chapter! Let us know! (It’ll be fine!)

@laura214 of course, welcome! Quite new here too! Had my coil out 13th this month, had a period 2 days later and according to my app I am in the first day of my fertile window...I will be doing an opk test today too. Are you going to track your ovulation or go with the flow?

@Wannabemummy25 hello!! Aww it’ll fly by. I decided to take mine out at the end of 2018 and also had to time it right with work etc. It’ll be nice for you to read some (hopefully!) positive stories to put you in a good frame of mind for your time! X

Following this for information as this will be this time next year! I don't want to have mine removed until next summer due to some work commitments that being pregnant would mess up! I'd rather enjoy being pregnant without worrying about work so waiting until next year! Seems so far away when I just want to have it removed now!

Please can I join? I had my Mirena moved end of March and a 3 days period beginning of May, will see what happens this month!

Amazing, thank you so much, ladies! 😃

Just hoping all ok tomorrow, especially with the COVID situation! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 Was honestly shocked when I got the call to say they were opening appointments again, after it was cancelled a few weeks ago - was expecting to wait months!

You're right, I need to remember all will be fine! 😃 I'm fully expecting a bit of jiggery pokery like the last time, but as long as it gets out! 🙈😂

Can anyone recommend decent tests? I bought a pack of 3 Clearblue early digital ones and only 1 of them worked!! Bit annoyed for the price of them!

@M4v3r1ck welcome!! Aw I had mine out last week (13th) and was obsessed reading all of the stories (mostly negative) about TTC after mirena, so made a mumsnet account and I feel so much better now! Ps if you’re nervous about the removal like I was, don’t be! It really was ok and nothing like insertion. I’m now tracking my ovulation like a mad woman to see when it happens. I had AF a few days afterwards so hoping to ovulate soon. Good luck and keep us updated!!

@flissity thank you for sharing! Wow not long to go now! How are you feeling?!

@InkogKneeToe amazing, thank you for sharing! X

First cycle, literally took a week. Textbook pregnancy, no issues at all.

Another positive experience -

I had a M Coil in for 5yrs then 3 (consecutively)

I had it removed in Early July and was pregnant by the start of Sept.

Now 39+2... with DC3

Hello all,

My first post on this group! Thanks to you all for sharing your stories and congratulations to those of you who had a BFP! 😍

I'm due to get my Mirena coil removed on Friday - all fingers and toes crossed - and then TTC shortly after! So it was really reassuring to find this post! 😃

I only joined Mumsnet the other day too, so I'm in a whirl of acronyms and information! 😂

Thanks again and good luck to everyone! 😘
