Is anyone TTC after Mirena Coil removal?

@EJay84 had a lovely time thank you! And my head wasn’t too fuzzy this morning either! Fingers crossed for the frer, keep us updated.

Speaking of cm... I’m so rubbish at understanding it. Which sounds ridiculous! I know it’s supposed to change but I can’t say I ever notice much of it, ever.. so wouldn’t have a clue. I rarely see it in my underwear, whereas I’ve seen some posts about people saying they have loads. I think it went to egg white during my fertile window but we were DTD so much that it could’ve been the result of that too (TMI 🙈). Trying not to think too much on it but it’s definitely another thing I’ve googled this week 😂

Fingers crossed for your frer @EJay84

@AllTheWhoresOfMalta that’s great to know, thanks for sharing

@LaceyMermaid excellent news about the red wine 😂

@EJay84 ahh I know where you are, tinto hill is a great walk. I hope you’re making the most of the good weather today, thunderstorms starting tomorrow apparently! X

@EJay84 yep we certainly do!! ☀️

@AllTheWhoresOfMalta that’s really handy to know thank you

Had a mirena from aged 23 to 28. Had it taken out in the Feb to TTC, bled straight away but not very much and then nothing for three months. In May went to my GP who said it’s really common to not have regular periods post mirena because one of the side effects is that it makes your endometrial layer very thin. Had a scan and sure enough it was around 1/4 of the depth necessary to conceive. Was advised to take supplements to increase endometrial layer so saw an alternative practitioner who advised I take Red clover, royal jelly, maca root, Raspberry leaf, rose hips, and hibiscus flower to both thicken it up and increase blood flow. Started taking those in June and got a period in August, so six months after I had the coil removed. Fell pregnant that September. Didn’t have a mirena put back in after DD1 was born as I knew we wanted to try for DC2 pretty swiftly. Sure enough when we started trying again (I was 30 by then) I got pregnant straight away.

I’m waaaaaay away from you guys! Hertfordshire, just outside London

Apparently a glass of red wine helps your uterine lining! I’m not making it up!

Ahh @EJay84 I didn’t realise you were in Scotland too! Whereabouts? We’re both from Glasgow, but currently live in Falkirk. I’m going to have some wine tonight (another TTC thing I’ve been googling 😂) because at 5DPO apparently there can be no harm done then that’ll be me until testing/AF x

@EJay84 those are all really positive signs! I think I’d feel better if I had a symptom or two haha.

I’m trying to stop googling and reading into things because it can’t be good for you. Heading for a bbq at a friend’s house tonight so hopefully that’ll keep me distracted for the rest of the day 😂 it’s so lovely to have this chat and be able to speak to people in the same boat! X

@EJay84 I’m definitely impatient! and if I do something I like to get on with it! But 8dpo is still early so keep the faith!

@Amy259 I’m cd7 so coming up to my fertile time hopefully! 🤞🏻

@Amy259 yes I know exactly what you mean! I was thinking that today I need to stop reading all about it all the time it’s probably making me more stressy! If it’s any help I don’t remember having any symptoms at all with my 3, maybe sore boobs when af was due but didn’t come. And I never tested until after I’d missed a period!

Hi @LaceyMermaid! The tww is not treating me well haha, going out of my mind a little bit. I’m in the premom Facebook group, never post but like to read other’s experiences. But may need to leave it because seeing it pop up on my feed makes me overthink everything 😂 so, so many people posting that at 5DPO they had symptoms like sore breasts, cramping etc and I have none of those... which could mean nothing, but I’d like a symptom or two to make me feel better! Trying to keep busy to take my mind off the waiting game.

How are you doing? What cycle day are you on now?

How is everyone today? @Amy259 how’s the tww?
@EJay84 did you test or are you holding out?

@LaceyMermaid I’ve read so many people saying that they only conceived when they relaxed and stopped thinking/stressing about it.. but that’s not my approach to anything in life, I’m a planner! So I can’t imagine ever being chilled about it 🙈 so here’s hoping science beats stress haha.

@Amy259 crazy isn’t it! My first 2 were accidents (on the pill) my third I just said oh let’s have another, coil out didn’t think any more about it and was pregnant the next month! Maybe I should take that approach again but with my age and being a little more hefty these days I thought I’d try to be more accurate! If it doesn’t work first few months I might give up tracking and just relax.

@LaceyMermaid that made me laugh, “so get going!”. Im sure you will, you’re so on it! When I look back at when I first got my coil out I can see the temp rise then too, but this cycle I’ve tried to be much more consistent with timing. It’s my first cycle TTC but I feel like I’ll be pretty disappointed with a BFN purely because I feel like everything was fairly spot on... would be easier if it didn’t happen first time but I also hadn’t temped/tracked lh, DTD at the exact “right” time!

Yeah @AKC88 exactly what Lacey said, don’t wait for it to fall because sperm being there earlier than the egg is better than trying to get them there after you ovulated. As soon as it goes positive get to it that day, the next and even the day after if you’ve both got it in you 😂
