Coil being removed next week...

[MrsW2909]

Hi everyone,

Im new on here and am booked in to have my coil removed next wed as me and my hubby plan to start ttc our first child together (i have 2 from a previous relationship and he has none).

I would love to hear from anyone who has had experience with coils - how long did it take for your first af after it was removed? How long did it take to get pregnant? Or are u trying now?

As my first 2 pregnancies happened by accident due to missing a pill a few times, in the back of my mind im thinking i should get pregnant pretty quickly but im tying my hardest to push this thought away as it could take months and months and u just dont know. Im just sp excited to get this thing out and start on our ttc journey together :-)

Try not to worry, they just have to use a mascara-type brush like Writer described, it just means we have to wait longer!

And who knows, maybe mines is actually working its way out? I've never felt for it before, and I did have cramps?

I think DH would have a fit signing the amazon delivery of 20 pg kits!! do you have a link?

Heres the link:
www.amazon.co.uk/Highly-Sensitive-Ultra-Early-Pregnancy/dp/B004EYMMEU/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1384871339&sr=8-5&keywords=pregnancy+test

I can't feel it anymore!!! I wonder if that was a flukey day??

I just hope my other half doesnt get to the delivery first and ask me what it is seeing as he doesnt yet know im having it out! - theyr only strips so should just be a letter size envelope, not actual plastic pregnancy tests. hence why theyr cheaper but they should suppress my urges to keep imagining im pregnant every time i get the slightest symptom!

thats strange Kato, maybe u should run down the docs on the day you next feel it again incase it suddenly came back down! i am so going to be having a rumage later to check i can still feel mine!

Does anyone have any work colleagues also trying to get pregnant? I work in an office and there are 3 of us all sort of trying to secretly get pregnant in the same year...it could get messy!

I think even if I had strings my surgery wouldn't do it, the GP who put it in is now retired!

I have toyed with going to the walk in sexual health/family planning clinic in town but can't imagine the characters I'd meet there!

rotfl yes i can only imagine what you'd find in there. Dont do it!

I am really not doing much work today...

No, me neither...

I had the mirena for 5 years and had it taken out on 8th Feb. Got my BFP on 26th October. My GP said a year to conceive is not unusual after the mirena so don't lose hope and keep at it. The month I conceived I was also having acupuncture.

Meant to add got my period within 12 hrs of removal and it lasted 3 weeks!! Fingers crossed that was just me.

oh god, after having 2.5yrs of no periods a 3week one would kill!

ps congrats SomeDizzy! when is ur scan?

23rd December. Nervous! Currently signed off work with bad morning (all day actually) sickness

Congratulations SomeDizzy!

I swear this thread gives me cramps!

oh no, not a nice start to ur pregnancy then :-(

I put on around 4 stone each time iv been pregnant so far so a small part of me hopes i get more morning sickness this time around just to stop me eating so much! i didnt really get actual sickness, just nausea most days in first 4 months.

Does that mean SomeDizzy your telling your family for xmas that ur expecting with your scan so close to Christmas day? How nice and what a nice xmas present for your parents :-)

Where's everybody tonight?

Ooh just catching up from everything today as I haven't had chance. Lots of talk about strings, weddings and babies!

Maybe TMI but I can feel my strings. I check every couple of months just to make sure they haven't disappeared (as I was recommended to do by GP). I can only just about feel them but wouldn't be able to 'tug' on them. I don't think it's recommended to try and remove it yourself .

I've had to get my appointment for removal via the family planning/sexual health clinic . I had it put in by my GP but since then I've moved to a new GP surgery and they don't have anyone who can insert/remove coils so I had no other option. I've been able to make an actual appointment with a trained doctor so I don't have to wait around for a slot or anything.

Ooh it's all sounding positives about BFPs after coils too!

Good luck to all those having them removed soon

Im sure ul be fine popsicle, when r u having it out?
Im so excited for xmas to tell my DH the coild is out hes gonna be so happy - he sai again tonight 'do u know what th best present u can give me?" (Iv been asking what he wants the last few days) "a coil wrapped up in a box, id be so chuffed". Iv told him it aint coming out until jan so i can use it at xmas! Ha. Well im skint after our wedding this year so im having to be imaginitive this christmas!

Apologies for all the mistyping, i havnt hit the wine im just using my ipad and the keypad is driving me insane somewhat...

Haha - that will be a nice surprise for him. Maybe instead of the real thing you could get a coil shaped object and wrap that up?

I'm getting mine out on the 2nd December. Here's hoping it's straightforward!

Do't worry about typing...i know what it's like. My space bar is being dodgy on the laptop tonight so keep checking!

Do you think the doc/nurse would give you the coil? Hehe - definitely imaginative!

I think id feel to silly to even ask! Im either gonna buy some conception book or vitamins or something to wrap up or il go down ur suggestion route and make a coil shape object to wrap up!

Good luck for the 2nd, il let u know how it goes for me -a week tomorrow eek. Think im gonna be nervous as hell on the day and i have to make an excuse up to leave work for my appointment and then go back to work after its out so i hope im not in too much pain afterwards.
