Getting pregnant after Mirena removal

[KrissyMB]

Hello,

I had my coil removed 6 days ago. Just wondering if anyone can share any stories of when they have conceived after having theirs removed?

Hi @KrissyMB I had myour mirena coil removed on the 16th Dec and bled until 10th of Jan! I got my bfp on the 26th of January.

Unfortunately it ended in miscarriage and I'm now ttc again. Hoping I catch again as quick. Good luck xx

I had the copper coil removed in November and I am currently ttc 😊

@Hopin4no4 so sorry to hear that! Hope you catch again soon. Did the doctor think this was anything to do with the coil? Read a few stories about conceiving after the coil and miscarriage!

@KrissyMB the doctor never said anything but if I'm honest I think it was the reason. The mirena stops the body from producing a thick lining that can sustain a pregnancy. I have wondered if my hormones hadn't recovered sufficiently to provide a thick enough lining 😔
Saying that, there are plenty of people who have successful pregnancies when the catch straight after removal. I think it's a very individual thing and no one can say for sure.
I have 3 children and have never miscarriaged before but saying that, I'm 38 so it could be to with egg quality.

Good luck to you xxx

Yeah that's my worry too with conceiving so soon after having it removed but we are going to try none the less. Fingers crossed. I am so confused as to when I'm going to ovulate and I can't track anything until I get first period - i didn't have any on the coil for over a year! Xx

@Strawbs20 good luck with ttc! 🥰

Had mine removed Jan 2018, conceived July 2018 and had DS April 2019! Although TTC, we were just winging it really, not putting on too much pressure.

I had my mirena coil removed 21 Dec 2017, had BFP 16 Feb 2018 and had my DS Sept 2018 (4 weeks early). We didnt put much effort into trying...just DTD every other day or so

@stopchewingeverything @Peanut91 great to hear your stories! I am going to try and be relaxed about it all, just enjoy time with my husband and not worry too much!

@KrissyMB6 I used opk and monitored cm. Although i never got a clear opk my ewcm was very obvious. Good luck xx

Hiya ! I had my coil out end of September , got two periods (one big bleed and one normal), and got my positive test on Christmas Eve ! Didn’t count October as a TTC month as my husband was working a lot ! So really it only took one cycle . Good luck x

I had my mirena coil removed end of August (after having it in for nearly 6 years) and we are still TTC - currently CD8 of cycle 7. It took 4-5 cycles for my pattern to start evening out but I seem to have settled into a 23/24 day cycle now. I was using OPKs but am having a break as I felt they increased my stress levels. We're just DTD every other day and keeping our fingers crossed for now! Hoping it will be our turn soon 🤞😊

I had my Mirena coup removed July 2019, had a massive bleed (awful), then had a chemical pregnancy in August then got pregnant again in September......am now 26 weeks...

If I were to do it again I'd have given my body a few more mo this to adjust!

Hi All. Very new to this! Nice to read your stories, I had my mirena coil out (2nd one so 8 years in total) on the 13th of this month. Had what I’m hoping and think was AF on the 17th which has finished today (didn’t miss those!) Now eagerly tracking ovulation as I am TTC with DH (his first my second!) I am 30. Any other stories of TTC after mirena?

Hi @watermelonwizard I had my coil out in Feb and I'm now 8 weeks pregnant. Can't believe how quickly it happened!

Following this. I am planning to have mine out in August (or whenever I can post covid) but don't plan to ttc til October as heard people saying about the thinner linging.

I had the mirena coil out in Ocotober... had no period for a couple of months. Started TTC in December! I'm in the two week wait now... fingers crossed this is my month eh!!

Congratulations @msb86 that’s amazing news! Lovely to hear.

@Bells3032 good luck for your removal. I was so nervous but it was actually really painless! A teeny cramp but nothing on it going in. I got way too worked up!! Hope it works out for you. Keep us updated.

@JENHEL I have everything crossed for you. The longest 2 weeks ever?! Keep us updated!

Thank you all for replying. Such an exciting but anxious time.

I had mine out after five years sept last year, got pregnant after a month but sadly ended in MC, took till Jan for periods to return after MC 7dpo today, good luck to you all xxxx

Mine was removed recently, had a bleed 25th April that lasted 5 days. We've DTD a few times since.
Currently having minor cramps and my boobs are very tingly and sensitive. This could be AF symptoms though, it's been a while!! Tested this morning and it was negative. AF is due around the weekend sometime.
I'm 31, TTC for a 2nd and my partners first (he's 38)

@AnxiousAnnie86 I’m so sorry to hear about your MC. I have everything crossed for you for next time.

@monkeybean10 oooh good luck! Let us know :) yeah I guess symptoms will be hard to separate for me too as it’s been a while since a ‘proper’ AF! Fingers crossed for you.

Thanks for replying both

Well, I can't quite believe it. I did a clearblue this morning and it's a BFP (big fat positive)

6-7 months off the mirena!!

Congratulatuons!!!!

@JENHEL aaahhhh congratulations!!!! That’s fantastic news. So happy for you! Xx

Thank you!!!!
