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?

Hi there. Hope it’s ok to join. I’m 36. I had my mirena removed beginning of April and have had awful symptoms until July - extremely tired, bloated nausea etc. for 10 days before AF. TTC No 4- youngest kid is 8 now and all other babies were conceived in first cycle. This month I’m not as symptomatic before AF due on Friday, the tiredness and nausea only started yesterday. Tested today and it’s another negative. I know I’m a lot older right now but I can’t help feeling frustrated. The pre-menstruation symptoms are really disruptive. I’ve never had it before. Has anyone experienced any of this?

I’ve heard there is something called the Mirena crash @Gem83ok so sounds like you’ve had that! 🤞🏻 You’ll have more luck from now on and get your BFP. I’m the same and always fell quickly with my other 3 but might be different this time as I’m 38

Thanks @LaceyMermaid, have looked it up and it does sound like that. Maybe it’s inwards from here then, this moth has been much much better pre-menstrually. Appreciate your message, I was starting to go mad!

@Gem83ok amazing how much the Mirena messes with our body!

@LaceyMermaid I know! I read up on mirena crash and I’m literally ticking off so many on the list. And the fact it’s a hormonal issue is a bit ironic as the reason I chose mirena is because it was a minimal hormonal approach as hormonal changes always drive me crazy - I get hyperemesis in pregnancy etc. - and I guess I was being too optimistic thinking coming off mirena would be an easy ride. 😂 thanks for helping me figure this out!

@LaceyMermaid hey how you getting on.??? What dpo are you today and when are you planning to test? I'm 6dpo today and trying hard not to symptom spot and planning to test Tuesday.🙈

@sup99 ooh exciting you’re not far behind me! I’m 11dpo. Caved and tested yesterday but BFN so now feel like it’s not my month

@sup99 how’s things?
@Amy259 hope your wedding was fab!
I’ve been spotting since yesterday, I’m expecting it to turn into AF today

@LaceyMermaid Ahh sorry to hear you're spotting! I'm 8dpo today, haven't tested yet. Planning to try tomorrow! I feel some twinges and pulling sensation from 6dpo. Don't know if that means anything. Not getting my hopes up.

Fingers crossed 🤞🏻 for you @sup99
I think my cycle is still messed up after Mirena, this is only my second period. My first was very very light and this seems to be going the same way! Plus my lutheal phase was shorter this time.

Hi, sorry thought I’d join in and ask some questions. I had a Mireya for about 2years then moved to a jaydess for a year. Had it’s removed end on July. I have had two periods one days after removal lasted 2days. Then the last one was 16 days ago and lasted longer and more intense. Is this a good sign or the hormones leaving my body? Would anyone recommend we start try or wait till I know my cycle.
I hope I worded that correctly

Hi @Babybees that sounds perfect to me. You’re supposed to have a withdrawal bleed within a few days of removal and then a proper period so your on track! I’d start trying if I were you.

Hi @LaceyMermaid, our wedding was absolutely wonderful, thank you! Just heading home from a lovely overnight stay and back to realty now. The last few days have been the best!

Sorry to hear you had some spotting, any sign of it getting heavier? Hopefully you get a full af this cycle and can get back on track. I’ve had a lovely break from poas, have no idea whether I’ve already ovulated or have still to do so - going with the flow this month but no doubt I’ll be neurotic again in no time 😂

@sup99 keeping everything crossed for you!

@Amy259 that’s lovely! I bet you’ll get your bfp this month because you’ve not worried about it! I think this probably is AF. But since my Mirena they’re just so light they’re barely there at all! I’m going to try soy isoflavones this month to try to kickstart my cycle properly - not sure if it’ll just mess it up more that’s always a risk when taking stuff!

@LaceyMermaid I’ll probably still overthink it until my next period - but for now, I’m still in the wedding bubble haha. I did use preseed yesterday and will again if we dtd today or tomorrow - I’m on CD17 today and ov on CD19 last cycle so I’m guessing it’s around now.
I know what you mean, pretty much anything you can take to help also mentions possibly disrupting things. Even prenatals like pregnicare can change it apparently!

@Amy259i know it’s all such a risk but I think my cycle needs a push!

Thank you @LaceyMermaid that’s good news. I am currently having very tender breast. So not sure if it pms or ovulation symptoms. Fingers crossed as we start trying

@LaceyMermaid any update? Did AF come to anything?

I decided to check my temp this morning to see if it was up so I would know if I ovulate (since I havent been testing lh over the wedding week) and it was low, so did an lh strip and it’s positive. So it seems I’m due to ovulate tomorrow!

ovulated*

@Amy259 wow that was good timing! Yes had spotting Sunday light flow Monday and spotting Tuesday. That’s it! Something is not right I think the Mirena is still affecting my cycles. So I’m taking soy isoflavones this cycle. Could be a huge mistake but I read a lot about them and they are supposed to give you stronger ovulation so we’ll see!
@sup99 any updates?

@LaceyMermaid 12dpo today and tested for the first time this morning and a BFN 😕 Acc to Ovia app, my AF is due tomorrow, and flo app says it's Sunday. So not sure at all and no AF symptoms that i had last month. Having few cramps since 7-8 dpo that feel different to AF though🙄

And forgot to mention i woke up with a cold, really congested.Think i'm out this cycle.😖

@sup99 don’t count yourself out yet!! I’ve definitely seen people with bfps saying they felt congested during their tww. It’s not over until AF shows!

@Amy259 is it? Never heard of it. Feeling super low after that bfn. Lost hopes as i was expecting atleast a vvfl on 12dpo. Will not test anymore until Monday/Tuesday if AF doesn't show.

@Amy259 Where are you with ovulation now?
