Having the coil removed

So after spending the last 3 years adamant that I was happy with 2 children I have realised I really would like a 3rd. Would like to start trying straight away but what with Corona virus I can't even get my coil removed. 😥 So thought I would post on here and see if anyone else is having to wait? X

Hi @ LJD32,
My two are 11 and 6 so would be a bit of an age gap! How old are your children? My boys are from my previous relationship, which unfortunately didn’t work out, but I am now with my lovely DH and wanting to try for a child together x

Wanting mine out though still thinking getting pregnant first time in this may not be ideal. So will have to wait! Before lock down was the opposite of broody and since it started all I can think of is babies! Can't pull mine out as my doctor cut my strings really really short lol can just about feel the pointy end if I am relaxed and go very high lol

I have name changed but I am OP.
Isadora2007 I could not think of anything worse than trying to remove it myself! With my first it took us just over a year of trying and with my second just a couple of months.
fellyjish how old is baby 1? There is 2 1/2 years between mine but my youngest is about to turn 3 so am worried about leaving it too much longer but then by brain is saying wait untill you have got in the new house and worked out new monthly outgoings etc! My heart is saying have a baby now!!!!

Apparently it can be removed during your period yourself... 😬
But I am NOT recommending that!!
I got pregnant pretty quickly after coil removal and I was 30/31.

I'm really broody (which is weird as despite having a baby I've never been broody!) but can't start trying for no 2 until next year for financial reasons amongst others

...probably a good thing that I have the implant and don't think I'd be able to get an apt to get it out!

But for now I'll dream of baby names and what new things I'd buy for baby 2 and whether I'd want to re-decorate the nursery...

How exciting someone else in the same position! How old are your 2? Have you always wanted a 3rd? We have got a lot going on at the moment as trying to buy a house aswell but am feeling very impatient!

Hi,
I just posted similar on here this morning. I’m in same boat, very lucky to have 2 children already but wanting to go for a third. I have a contraceptive implant in that I need to get removed.
