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?

@Amy259 I think it can drop before AF but not always. yes managed to dtd day before and day of ov so hopefully might be in with a chance!

Ahhh @LaceyMermaid I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you! How are you feeling about your tww?

@Amy259 feel ok about it now but easy to say at 3dpo! Just been to get my eldests gcse results so that’s keeping me busy today feeling proud of him. Just going to try to chill out and not test until AF due on 31st (if I make it that far!)

@EJay84 Ahh sorry to hear you're having spots. I had them really bad with my daughter. Know how it feels. But skin cleared up and started glowing after 10 weeks.

@LaceyMermaid Everything crossed for you and congratulations to your son x

@Amy259 Great that you decided to stop reading too much and googling. I've been trying to do the same.

I'm on CD14 today, no positive opk's yet. I used to ovulate on cd15/16 before mirena and i had lots of ewcm on cd16 last cycle. So I'm hoping i'd have a peak tomorrow/saturday latest. I'm terrified by the thought of not having any peak at all.😭 I'm not temping this cycle because I get very anxious and get mad by researching & reading into things too much.

@sup99 I know what you mean about worrying about not getting a peak - I didn’t get one this cycle but my bbt shows I have ovulated and apparently this is more reliable. No idea why I didn’t get a peak opk as I did last month. Very strange! I’m going to try to not worry anymore as I stressed a lot this month about not ovulating but it looks like I am so I need to just chill out!

@LaceyMermaid ohh that's strange! How often were you testing? I've heard it's possible to miss a surge as for some people it just lasts for 4 hours or so.? Acc to temps you ovulated the same cd you would normally do?

I was testing at least twice a day so defo can’t have missed it so a bit weird. I’ve been on Mirena for 15 years so no idea of what is normal for me at all!

Certainly no glowing going on here yet lol.

I bought the Preseed as I was looking out for increased CM and I didn't seem to have any. Even when I got a peak OPK. It's worth a try. Not sure if it done anything for me or if I'd have got pregnant anyway but certainly didn't do any harm. x

@sup99 I’m the same, I felt like I did way too much last cycle in terms of trying to get it all spot on. Then when it didn’t work I was more disappointed than I would’ve been just trying in a more relaxed way. The good thing is that it did teach me my base level temps before and after ov so I’ll just temp around ov this cycle I think. What cycle ttc are you?

@EJay84 I ordered some preseed so I’ll give it a go this cycle!

That'd be much better @Amy259 This is my first cycle ttc. So don't want to be very strict now but still just checking opk's. I was going mad around AF reading into things, anxiety and unable to sleep. Feeling much relaxed now.

@EJay84 did you get any cramping on your 2ww? I’m only 4dpo bit I have really bad AF type cramps today and yesterday which is too early for AF or implantation or anything! So weird

Yes, I had twinges the 1st few days then sorer cramping at 6DPO and cramping every day since.It's actually making me paranoid as I keep thinking I'm about to bleed x

So weird as unless I ovulated earlier than I thought its not time for AF! It’s proper cramping!

Fingers crossed it's a good sign x

Hope so! 🤞🏻 Hard not to symptom spot isn’t it

Hey everyone!

Finally got my af today after my removal on 9th July!

Has anyone else has horrible PMS symptoms after Mirena removal?? I've never had many side effects before having the coil but since Monday it's been horrible, feeling tired, sick, sore boobs cry at the drop of a hat and the worst mood swings, to the point I know I'm being unreasonable but I can't stop myself being a cow 😂.

We weren't actively trying this month just getting an idea of my cycle etc but hubby drops on me earlier he's disappointed it didn't happen! I swear they think they are superman 🤣

@AKC88 hooray! Did you do any cycle tracking? I don’t think I actually ovulated on that first cycle so you can tell him that! It was impossible to get you pregnant! They are unrealistic though don’t think my DH has a clue about timings or anything!

@LaceyMermaid @Amy259 i had a peak opk yesterday morning so considering today as o day! However had not a lot of ewcm like i had last cycle and not many signs and symptoms. How are you both getting on?

@sup99 hooray! I’ve stopped testing for opks now as never did get a peak this cycle. According to my bbt I’m 6 DPO so just waiting for AF really! Don’t think it’s happened this month with the lack of peak opks. Weird I didn’t get much ewcm this month either despite drinking grapefruit juice to increase it.

Stay positive @LaceyMermaid !! It's strange I hadn't taken anything nor checked opk's last cycle but had lots of ewcm on cd16. This cycle i have been regularly taking Primrose oil supplements and no noticible ewcm 🙄

It’s so weird isn’t it?! @sup99 when I had my Mirena in I would get EWCM - no idea when in my cycle it was as I didn’t have periods but now I want some there’s not much! I think I might take soy isoflavones next cycle to try to make my ovulation stronger as I’m not 100% sure it’s working properly yet. I do have a temp spike though so hopefully I am and I’m just being impatient! I just find it weird how I got a peak opk last month when I had Mirena out and was waiting for period, but none this cycle?!

@sup99 yay! Glad you got your peak! Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

@LaceyMermaid hope the tww isn’t treating you too badly. That temp spike was so clear so hopefully you did ovulate and you get a pleasant surprise 🤞🏻

@AKC88 my PMS was wild before the first af after my coil removal, physically and emotionally! This time round it was much better though, so hopefully it’s just super intense the first time back..? Who knows!

I’m on cd9 here so going to start OPKs tomorrow again. Our wedding has been given the go ahead for Friday so that’s keeping me (very) occupied this cycle - much obsessing and far less impatient because I’m busy! X

@Amy259 how exciting! That’s an excellent distraction!
I hope I am ovulating 🤞🏻 My chart does look quite promising and FF bad Femometer have both detected ovulation without the opks

@LaceyMermaid I was doing OPK's and got a peak on 8th August but nothing more than that at this stage.

@Amy259 god I hope so I don't even want to spend time with me if that's how it's going to be every month Hope you have a magical wedding day!

@EJay84 huge congratulations!

@AKC88 fingers crossed you’ll get something happen soon!
