Removal of coil, ovulation and conceiving

Hi MNers,
I'm new on here and myself and OH are in early stages of trying for a baby.
He has two children from a previous relationship, I have none.
I had my coil removed last week (a week today) and I've had a variety of answers when I've asked how long it generally takes for my cycle to come back. I have ovulation sticks but as expected only a week in nothing as of yet. Can anyone share their experiences with me please?
Thanks xx

In such a bad mood today. Feel like I could choke someone! Sure sign AF is coming Angry

Mammabear31 · 15/04/2016 14:00

Oh no! :( thank god it's friday and you can chill out this weekend. Have you done any more tests?

Lucy1308 · 15/04/2016 14:45

It was a definite "wait what?! That's it?!" Moment! Especially as I wasn't 100% sure that she would even take it out today- looks like I should maybe take back my inward comments about the receptionists haha!!

Oh no Jod!! Fingers crossed its not!!

AbbyH · 16/04/2016 13:23

I am so excited ladies!
So yesterday I felt like I was ovulating so done a test today...
.
Question is.....my coil comes out in 5 days, would this mean chances of conceiving soon as coil is out will be less as test shows I am ovulating now and the egg will be passing by the time my coil is out?
Lacking knowledge 😂 Xx

Hi ladies,

I had my mirena coil out 8 days ago. I've been spotting ever since. I'm glad that you did too mamabear as I was starting to get a little worried. I had one day when it stopped but it's been pretty light but persistent. I've had a few mild stomach cramps. Did you get that too?

Abbey it depends on the type of coil I think. If it's a copper coil you might have a chance this cycle as implantation should happen after its out (I think) but if it's a hormonal coil is likely the lining of the womb will be too thin.

I have had the mirena twice and took 6/7 months each time from removal to conceive my two children.

AbbyH · 16/04/2016 15:13

Nimisha- mine is a mirena coil too. Was getting myself really excited eek!!

Fingers crossed though miracles can happen lol x

Mammabear31 · 16/04/2016 17:32

Hi Nimisha, yeah I did get cramps too. It was horrible waiting for it to finish so we could get going; so I feel your pain!

I am now due AF tomorrow, and have been getting steady BFN for 3 mornings in a row. Today, however; I have been having strange "symptoms" - my stomach has bloated and gone rock hard from pretty much under my breasts down to my pubic bone. My boobs have been a bit sore/tender and I felt sick in the car earlier; which was a symptom I had before I got my BFP with DS. So I am feeling a little excited but trying to hold back.

Jod1985 · 16/04/2016 17:39

I'm still getting cramps. I got my coil removed on 23rd March. I haven't had AF yet. I felt I ovulated on 28th and I had a few faint positives but they didn't get any stronger so I suspect a chemical PG. I'm just waiting and wondering what is going on.

Lucy1308 · 17/04/2016 10:00

So AF arrived this morning- never had anything more than barely visible spotting with my coil so this must be the real deal right?! Anyway I'm off to find my "ladies products" and work out when I should ovulate!!

Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend!!

Mummyandwife85 · 17/04/2016 12:16

Mummyandwife85 · 17/04/2016 12:19

I'm in a similar boat to you huni, since 28th had mine out and still nothing happening. . feel crazy now tbh cos I just wish AF would arrive then I know I can really ttc so fed up of the coil dramas now lol xox

Lucy1308 · 17/04/2016 19:32

Hope AF either arrives or you get your BFP! I was really worried that AF wouldn't turn up for me and then I'd have no way of working out what was going on. Don't think we've ever looked forward to a period so much!

As a side note- who invented period pains? Holy bejesus I have NOT missed these guys.....

Jod1985 · 17/04/2016 19:53

I am that person who has no clue what is going on. 1 month since mirena removal.Sad

AbbyH · 18/04/2016 10:15

jod I'm the same just excited to get my coil out. I have high hopes of falling PG quickly so really worried I will be disappointed if I don't. Most threads I've read people who have come off mirena coil fell PG within a month or 2, but I see the odd one that's taken a lot longer....knowing my luck that will be me :( x

Lucy1308 · 18/04/2016 10:46

Well if totally unfounded hope and lots of fingers crossing helps then I'm sure we will all be PG before we know what's happening!! Would love a BFP in May as that would make me a Feb baby most probably so would match OH :D

AbbyH · 18/04/2016 11:35

I'm hoping for a Feb baby too :) :) I'm April, OH is June, DD is September so would spread out quite nicely :)

Mammabear31 · 18/04/2016 18:34

Still no clue with me either - AF now 2 days overdue but only getting BFN. Haven't tested today but have bought a first response to try tomorrow morning. No symptoms of either PG or AF so no fucking clue.

How are you doing Jod? Any progress?

Mammabear31 · 19/04/2016 06:24

Yet again, no AF but a BFN on 2 tests. What is going on Confused

Lucy1308 · 19/04/2016 06:28

I've just been reading about a lady who was 7 weeks over before she got her BFP. I suppose you're not out til the witch arrives ;) fingers crossed you get some answers soon!!!

Mammabear31 · 19/04/2016 07:55

7 weeks?! That's crazy!!!
I'm going to my GP on Friday for something unrelated but will ask about a blood test if I'm still not getting anywhere. Said to DH this morning that I wish one would show its face - I hate not knowing!

Lucy1308 · 19/04/2016 08:35

I can't even begin to imagine how she managed 7 weeks!! I don't know how I will react to my first AF whilst TTC- I'd rather she towed up early than late, less time to get excited!!! Probably a good idea about he blood test- can't do any harm right?!

Muskateersmummy · 19/04/2016 08:40

after my coil was removed it took 6 months for periods to return after some medical intervention to kick start things. If your af doesn't return please get and appointment to see your GP, they can help

Jod1985 · 19/04/2016 08:46

muskateermummy what coil did you have? Where you still ovulating? What did gp give you?

Jod1985 · 19/04/2016 08:47

Oh and did you have symptoms like AF / PG symptoms while you were waiting?
