Is anyone TTC after Mirena Coil removal?

[EJay84]

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?

I am! Had my coil out on 11/06 and still no sign of a period... becoming increasingly impatient. Just want it to arrive to I know where I’m at and can start tracking properly. TTC number 1 and I’ll be 30 soon

I'm the same as you @Amy259. I just wanna know where I'm at. I'm 35 and TTC no 3. Youngest is 9. Decided we want to try for one more before we're too old lol. I fell pregnant so easily the 1st twice. Scared it's gonna be hard this time and I'll end up disappointed. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you it arrives soon so u can start tracking. I haven't had a period in almost 10 yrs x

Had my coil out in October 2018. Took until March 2019 to have a proper period. Still ttc now and waiting for an operation for endo, where the gynaecologist is going to flush my tubes too. Good luck to you though and hope it's not a long wait x

@EJay84 I haven’t had a period in 5 years but have spent the last 2.5 weeks feeling the way I would just before I was due on.. bloated, fatigued, craving beige food!! Definitely not pregnant, but feel like I’m in a constant state of PMS and just want it to come now. Considering trying agnus castus to help it along...

@Mich2020 that’s such a long time, poor you! I don’t feel like they emphasised this enough when I got mine in... all I remember is being told my fertility would go straight back to normal, none of this messing with your cycles stuff! Fingers crossed you get that appointment really soon x

How are you guys? Amy, any sign of your period yet? I had a period then ovulated on CD 14 as had a a peak OPK. Have been DTD every day for a week lol. On CD16 today and hoping we've managed to catch a wee egg. x

Mich, do you have a date for your op? x

Hi @EJay84, lovely to check in again 🥰

Weird - I’m on CD16 too! No peak yet though, I’m sure I remember my cycles (5+ years ago before the mirena) were 5 weeks, which would tie in because I got my AF exactly 5 weeks after my withdrawal bleed start date.. so I hope I’m right 😂

That means I should peak Tuesday/Wednesday this week coming, then ovulate Thursday, which is what my app is predicting too! Currently DTD every other day then when my LH starts to go up we’ll go to every day. OH has been pre-warned haha. Keeping everything crossed for you!! X

Hi all! So glad to find this thread because I’m in the exact same position and it’s driving me mad. Had coil out on 2/7 ttc#4 if I can. Nearly 12 years since last baby 😱 I’m 38. No bleed or period yet at all and I thought I had ovulated because I've been using opks and temping and fermometer says I have BUT someone on another thread told me today my chart looks like I haven’t ovulated and FF app agreed with her! So now having thought I’m 12dpo I feel like nothing has happened and I’m back to square one! 😭
If it helps anyone else I had my coil removed TTC #3 and had one period then conceived so I know it can happen quickly.

@Amy259 I was testing for ov completely blind as it's been 9 yrs I have had a coil and no idea what my cycle looks like. I got a definite peak on CD 14 and a faint line then next day so counting from there. My OH has done well putting up with me the past few days. He has gone for a jog twice and cycling once and all 3 times I was like, 'Will you come and see me 1st please?' I've read that heat from exercise can kill a man's sperm so wasn't taking any chances lol. It's so hard with a 9 and 11 year old wandering around the house, trying to get peace to DTD. I've been making OH give me a big O after finishing as I also read this can help propel the sperm up there 😂 I've actually lost the plot!

@LaceyMermaid I'm nearly 36 and decided after years of saying 'never in a million years' to try for baby #3. My DH lost his sister and mum in the space of 6 months last year and then with all this lockdown carry on, we decided life is too short and while we still can, we'd try for another. x

Very similar here @EJay84 husband has wanted one more for a few years, I wasn’t so keen thought I was a bit old and past it (meaning I’ve got a nearly 17 year old, 15 year old and nearly 12 year old!) but spending time as a family in lockdown made me reconsider that actually family is what I love and adding to it would be quite good! Except now I probably find I can’t! But we’ve said if we can’t we can’t and that’s the end.

@LaceyMermaid we've said the same but trying to be hopeful after a terrible year. I'm in the same boat, hubby wanted another for yrs and I've said no. I'm hoping I don't have any issues as I have Crohn's disease and have had half my bowel removed and have absorption issues so I take a lot of supplements but often have low levels of various vitamins x

Fingers crossed for you 🤞🏻🤞🏻 Let’s hope our bodies go back to normal after Mirena!

@Amy259 wow you’ve been waiting longer than me bless you! So frustrating 😤

@Mich2020 and you 🙁 hope it goes ok at the dr for you 🤞🏻

Have my op on 13th August. Hoping I have a positive outcome from this. Thank you xx

@EJay84 so sorry to hear about your husband’s family, what a hard time for you all. My OH is doing well to put up with me too, he’s sticking to the plan haha. He’s also started making wee comments about a potential baby which has been lovely! How’s the tww treating you?

@LaceyMermaid I got my coil out on 11th June and I’m not sure if I then ov because I wasn’t checking, but then AF eventually arrived 16th July. So tracking LH now waiting for my peak, which I think will come in the next 3-4 days. Then a no doubt agonising 2 week wait!!

@Mich2020 great news that you have your op date sorted, I’ll keep everything crossed for you xx

@Amy259 FF now puts me at 7dpo according to my temps so hopefully I’ll see something soon!! Even AF would be fine at this point!

@LaceyMermaid I use the Premom LH strips and app where it takes a photo and works out your levels that way. My ratio has consistently sat around 0.2 then yesterday it was 0.32 and today it’s 0.47 so something is happening!! Fingers crossed ovulation is soon. Do you use strips too?

@Amy259 yes I’ve been using Femometer ones that said I ovulated on 20th July which is why I thought I was 13dpo today. Apparently your temp is more accurate to show ovulation though so I’d been doing that too luckily and that shows I ovulated on 24th July instead which puts me back a bit. It would explain why I’ve not had AF but still getting BFN so we’ll see what happens over the next week! Hopefully something will happen or I just feel like I’m in limbo 😩 I’m 38 too so not exactly got time on my side!

@Amy259 yay for something happening for you! I would say do you bbt temp too though

@LaceyMermaid I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you, keep us updated! I’m so impatient so whilst I’m excited for ov I’m also dreading the tww 😂 did you hopefully coincidentally DTD around both 20th and 24th?

Yeah I temp too, looks like I sit around 35.9-36.1 before I ovulate then go way up to 36.5-36.7 afterwards, according to last month when I was just trying to figure it all out. Every now and then I do get a really random value though, this morning it was way down at 35.7!

@Amy259 that’s good I don’t know too much about the temps but there’s lot so n here they do so cian advice you!
We definitely dtd around 20th and have generally been doing it lots but I don’t know if we did it on 24th! I can’t remember! But hopefully we’ve done enough to be in with a shot!

Oh yes tww is so in and because of this I've now essentially had a 3ww!!

@Amy259 symptom spotting like crazy here lol. Was up 3x during the night to pee and been every hour since waking, which is unheard of. Just tried to have some lunch and a bottle of Sprite and my mouth tastes disgusting so couldn't eat or drink it. Wishful thinking I suppose . Immersed in YouTube videos about symptom spotting and BFP's from 8DPO 🙈 I'm going to be an absolute nightmare through all of this!

@LaceyMermaid fingers crossed for a positive OPK for you soon. I had a faint test then a glaringly positive one then faint again on the 3rd day and BD 7 days in a row over that period so trying to be hopeful. x

@EJay84 so if you peaked on CD14 do you think you ovulated CD15? I’m not sure how that part works.. so are you 2DPO now? I’ll be a total nightmare too, I have no doubt about that 😂
