Merina Coil Removal & Pregnancy

6 replies

Missyk5 · 15/09/2010 12:49

Can anyone tell me how quick they became pregnant after removal of the Merina Coil? I had one fitted for only 4 weeks and had it removed due to the excrutiating cramps. So I'm wondering how long it will take me to get pregnant, especially as I only had it for 4 weeks before removal. Can anyone help? Thanks..! :)

I was pregnant within one week - somewhat unexpectedly Smile

Mine slipped into my cervix and I was pregnant before I had it taken out.

It stops working as soon as it isn't n an optimal position - trust me!

Just to keep you up to date, I am now thinking that something maybe happening already. Myself and my partner had intercourse only last Saturday and yesterday and today, I feel bloated and am weeing alot. Do you think this is me wishful thinking that I maybe pregnant? :)

The coil was only removed on the Thursday beforehand, and I was bleeding a little too, so not sure if that was my period then or just a bleed after removal of the coil..., however like I say we did have intercourse last Saturday (only 2 days after removal of the coil) and now I am back and forth the loo quite a bit. Any ideas?.., or do you think it would be too soon to be pregnant? :)
