How soon after Mirena IUD removal did you ovulate?

[CreatingLittlePudding]

Hey guys, I had my IUD removed this cycle and the nurse said my fertility should return fairly quickly. I've been testing for ovulation using OPK since CD8 just to learn my cycle and currently CD12 with no signs of ovulation yet, I know its still fairly early but Flo app predicted ovulation yesterday so now I'm wondering if I'll even ovulate this cycle. What are your experiences with returning fertility after coil removal.

It took 90 days for me to ovulate for the first time post removal and over the 11 months since its got gradually shorter until now I’ve got a 35 day cycle. I have got PCOS which might have some impact on that time frame!

[CreatingLittlePudding]

90 days isn't so bad compared to other forms of contraception really, I'm just being impatient as ive wanted to ttc for a couple of years but only just got the courage to get my coil removed.

[CRbear]

I can understand that! Hope it all happens quickly for you- I know fertility returns quickest from the coil so you’re ahead of the game there - and lots of people find it’s instant so fingers crossed that’s you. We’re going to start TTC In January and I’m desperate 😂

I ovulated about 3 weeks after my mirena removal. I had a break through bleed a couple of days after removal for 5 days and then ovulated 2 weeks after that.

Please ignore flos predictions! It’ll drive you nuts and is just a rough guess. I have a 27-30 day cycle and ovulate around days 16-18, which I wouldn’t have known without BBT.

I am now on cycle 10, which is a bit shit but I have endometriosis so not entirely unexpected. But from bloods and scans, I am ovulating so my mirena hasn’t caused any issues there.

Good luck! X

I had mine removed on the 21st January, and baby was born 2nd December same year - and she was 2 weeks late, so it must have been within a few weeks of having it removed

@CRbear Thank you! And good luck with ttc next year!

@Woaaaahnelly Oh really! Thanks for the heads up about the app and sorry to hear its taking a while for you, and I hope you get your bfp soon!

@NothingIsWrong I'm hoping for a similar story to yours! I'm just getting myself worked up as the app said I should of ovulated but I'll just have to see how things go as its litteraly been 6 days haha

I didn't. I had to have my periods medically restarted after nearly a year.

I had the Mirena coil removed in late April 2015 and fell pregnant in the August of that year. I was 41 at the time, though this was my third DC.

I had my Jaydess coil (3 year one) removed 3 weeks ago. I had regular periods on the coil so out of interest took ovulation tests while I was still on it and it suggested I was ovulating (is definitely possible but don't know how accurate it would be while on it). I've been testing the last couple of weeks and no peak yet so I'm guessing my body is adjusting after having it removed. But then I was also taking Pregnacare vitamins which can affect your cycle which I've stopped now so I don't know... so many variables it drives me insane!

Just gonna wait for AF and see! Would be interested to know how you get on too!

[CreatingLittlePudding]

@SLG5493 I had symptoms of ovulation on cd14 and the strongest okp reading I've had all cycle so I'd like to think I did ovulate 🤞🏻 also taking pregnacare vitamins. It's just a waiting game now

[anotherscroller]

My gynaecologist said you still ovulate on the Mirena coil

[Krisnov2020]

How are you getting on @CreatingLittlePudding ?
I fell pregnant the first week of getting my coil out last time but not sure this time as still no signs of ovulation according to tests!

Hi everyone!

I'm pretty new to MumsNet but i'm hoping i can get involved! I had my Kyleena IUD coil removed yesterday as i would like TTC.
I'm fairly certain that i ovulated whilst i had the coil so i'm hoping that'll carry on as 'normal' now the IUD is out..

I've had no bleeding or cramps since it was removed 24hrs ago so i'm not sure when my body is going to start adjusting?

Any help and guidance would be welcome please :)

Hi @Polly5592, I had my Jaydess coil out on 6th September right after my period and had a bit of spotting but nothing much. I then didn't ovulate until 16th October (from LH testing & BBT) and got my period two weeks later. This cycle is much more typical and have ovulated on about day 16/17. I also was ovulating with the coil in but my body obviously needed some time to adjust after having it taken out (i was also on the pill for years before the coil). It was a bit of a hormonal rollercoaster after having it out but in a much better place now with knowing when things will happen etc so took a couple of months for me.

Just my experience, don't know how normal it is. Wishing you all the luck for TTC x
