Is anyone TTC after Mirena Coil removal?

Had my coil removed a week past on Monday to TTC baby no 3. I'm 36 soon, 9 years older than at my last pregnancy so no idea if it will be harder this time. My other 2, we conceived first cycle. I don't even know when or if to expect a period so that I can time when I might be ovulating, since I haven't had a period on the coil for 5 yrs. Not even really looking for advice I suppose, just to see if anyone is in same boat with TTC after having a coil removed?

@Amy259 any news?
@sup99 where are you now in your FW?
@EJay84 how are you feeling?

LaceyMermaid · 15/08/2020 11:16

This is doing my head in now! CD14 and got a ‘high’ opk this morning but only 14%. Ff and Femometer both still say I’ve ov’ed. Just wish I could have a normal cycle where I actually know what was going on!

Amy259 · 14/08/2020 11:26

@LaceyMermaid no I didn’t fancy it either!! 😂

LaceyMermaid · 14/08/2020 11:21

I should ov next couple of days if not so hopefully I’ll see something!

LaceyMermaid · 14/08/2020 11:20

@Amy259 yes I read that but not sure about that... 🙈

Amy259 · 14/08/2020 10:27

How frustrating for you! What about temping vaginally..? My ‘natural cycles’ bbt thermometer suggests that if you sleep with your mouth open. Fingers crossed you see a positive opk soon to answer the question!

LaceyMermaid · 14/08/2020 10:13

I know it’s a bit weird, but a switched to a proper bbt thermometer on about cd3 and also I’m not sure how accurate my temps are because I sleep with my mouth open! So not sure how much I can go by them 😔
As for my cycle before, I’ve always been on hormone BC as was on pill from age 15-20 then 2 babies (with pill in between) and onto Mirena so it’s never been natural cycles. I think they were 28 days with no idea on ov day. Got pregnant on the pill twice hence the switch to the Mirena! I’m going to test a couple of time’s a day still just to see what happens. Wish I could just get a normal cycle!

Amy259 · 14/08/2020 09:25

@LaceyMermaid i think it’s unusual how high your temps were during AF - for them to be lower than CD1-4 after you ov is pretty impossible (if science is to be trusted over our apps 😂) so I would keep testing at say 11am and 4pm, and if it goes high again test more? Unless something was going on CD1-4? You were unusually hot or not feeling good?
I know it’s been a while but do you have any memory at all of your cycle before? I’ve only been 5 years but mine seems to have snapped straight back into what it was before the mirena?

LaceyMermaid · 14/08/2020 08:44

@sup99 Yes could have done or apparently opks don’t always detect it (mr google again 🤣)I’m wondering if I drank too much with all the heat and so it wasn’t strong enough?
It’s just odd because I feel like I can’t have, but then what do I know it’s not like I know what my body feels like to ov I’ve been on Mirena for best part of 15 years!

sup99 · 14/08/2020 08:41

Oh that's weird @LaceyMermaid ! May be you missed catching the surge on OPK's.? I've heard that's possible as the surge stays on only for a short while.?

LaceyMermaid · 14/08/2020 08:39

My chart, Femometer ageeeing too and saying same thing!

Is anyone TTC after Mirena Coil removal?
LaceyMermaid · 14/08/2020 08:37

It’s saying I oved CD10! I’ve been testing loads on opk, had a couple of highs (but they weren’t actually very high only 24%) but no peaks. Did have some watery/EWCM too which is a sign. So weird. Was so shocked when I put my temp into FF this morning and it said I’m 3dpo as temp has confirmed ov! I’ll keep testing LH just in case. Now I’m worried it’s because I’m too old!

Amy259 · 14/08/2020 08:33

@LaceyMermaid how weird! How often do you test your LH? CD13 would be pretty early to ov too. Did you have a temp rise for 3 days..?

LaceyMermaid · 14/08/2020 08:07

@sup99 you’re not too far off me I’m CD 13

LaceyMermaid · 14/08/2020 08:06

So strange, I’ve been logging everything on fertility friend and Femometer this month and both are saying I’ve ovulated already despite not having any peak opks yet?! Must be based on my temps and other symptoms but I’m not sure I have. So confusing!

sup99 · 13/08/2020 21:13

Hahah thnx @Amy259 @EJay84 ! Already super anxious. Don't know how am i going to deal 2WW.🥺

LaceyMermaid · 13/08/2020 18:12

Thanks @EJay84 it’s not really like me just feeling a bit down today!

EJay84 · 13/08/2020 18:02

Hang in there Amy, there's still time yet. Keeping everything crossed for you.

Think positive thoughts Lacey. I'm the biggest negative Nancy going and I got my BFP.

Fingers crossed for you too @sup99, better get busy lol x

@Amy259 🤞🏻 For you I’m sure it’s a good sign!
Ignore me I’m just in one of those moods today!

Amy259 · 13/08/2020 16:45

@sup99 lots of carbs - get those energy stores up ahead of next week!

@LaceyMermaid don’t be putting those negative vibes out there 😂 this will be your month!

New (probably nothing) symptom spot - thick, white discharge today (sorry tmi). Really unusual for me so off I went, straight to google and apparently thick white discharge before af is due could be a good sign.. it shouldn’t be thick or white if you’re not pregnant (and I’ve never noticed it before). So I’ll add that to the list of things keeping me a little hopeful...

LaceyMermaid · 13/08/2020 16:42

@Amy259 Yes in FW right now, next couple of days I should think I will ov as I’m getting highs on opk now but not peaks! Not feeling too positive really though, don’t know why!

sup99 · 13/08/2020 16:30

@Amy259 ahh that'd be better to not test and stay positive. I'm on cd7 and FW next week 🤞

Amy259 · 13/08/2020 16:19

Thanks @LaceyMermaid, it’s a fine balance between not feeling downhearted and not getting my hopes up 😂

How are you doing? Must be approaching fw if I remember rightly?

LaceyMermaid · 13/08/2020 16:12

🙁 don’t count yourself out yet @Amy259!

Amy259 · 13/08/2020 16:03

@sup99 still bfn! Felt nauseous this morning and thought I was going to be sick but still testing neg. And pretty sure I can feel AF symptoms - irritable, emotional, hungry! Classic for me a few days before... not due until Monday so might just hang off from testing because the bfns are tough! How are you doing?
