Intrauterine device is a reversible form of birth control, which means that it protects against unexpected pregnancy while it is inserted in the uterus, and a woman id able to become pregnant straight after the IUD has been removed.
When is pregnancy possible?
Most data suggests that a woman regains fertility immediately after the removal of IUD. Some claim that pregnancy is possible after one month after the removal of this device from the uterus. Women should be aware that there are certain differences between a copper and hormonal IUD and should discuss all the pros and cons with the doctor prior to insertion of this contraceptive device into the uterus.
Most studies suggest that generally women are able to regain fertility after the removal of IUD after the same period of time, compared to other birth control methods .
Certain variations
Intrauterine device is known to have certain risk and side effects that could interfere with the ability to get pregnant after the device is removed from the uterus. These conditions are very rare but still possible and, therefore, women should be aware of them before choosing the appropriate mean of birth control .
Incase perforation of the uterus occurs a woman may have a lower chance of becoming pregnant. There is a greater risk for pelvic infection when IUD is in the uterus. If such condition occurs, the tubes may be injured decreasing the chance to become pregnant afterwards. If a woman uses hormonal IUD, menstrual period may be delayed after removal of the device, causing a delay in fertility regain.
Spatzi Thank you for the congrats. I am glad to have the waiting game over, I only did it for the month I had it taken out, but its hard on you mentally and emotionally. So I think you are a very strong woman to be holding faith still, because I was losing faith after just one try, and getting nothing. I admire you for that. I know Im not that strong.
sineadjane I was not told about infections when I had my IUD out, I was only warned about pregnancy. Which really wasnt a warning to me because I wanted to get pregnant. I dont know why sperm would cause an infection, its something natural and should be clean unless the person your with has a dirty penis (not saying thats the case, but using it as an example) , but even then the outside of the penis is dirty, not the sperm. But Im not a doctor so who knows.
kngrove I never had spotting with any of my pregnancies, not from my two boys, or this one. But everyones body is different, so good luck!
kmynatt912 You are very brave. To be so terrified and be so selfless to be willing to give to your husband. We all know the risks go up when you have your babies a little bit older (Not that I think 38 is old, but according to most text books, or atleast the baby books Ive read, it raises the risk a little....), Im not saying that you shouldnt take the risks, because more often than not everything is fine. I know I wouldnt be one to try to take those risks, but then again Im not a risk taker. Your situation is a wonderful situation, and it shows how good of a person you are to give a baby to someone who hasnt had one. Most women I would think probably wouldnt. So thats amazing!
kmynatt912 2010-08-26 17:18:01
Hello all. I am new to this site. I would like to share my story. I am 38 and I have three children and one grandaughter. I have been married to my fourth husband for a year now. He is 30, never been married never had kids. We have decided to try to have a baby. I got my IUD 5 years ago and its time to come out. I have had complications with my IUD but was afraid of getting pregneant if I had it removed so I just learned to deal with. The IUD made me gain weight, become moody and all that stuff. But today at 2:45 I am ridding my body of this "thing". I am nervous about becoming pregneant at my age, but I want so much to give my husband a child.
kngrove 2010-08-26 02:28:51
Okay another update! When i went pee a few minutes ago and wiped i was spotting. but im a still a week away from my period. so i googled what the spotting could mean, and it says that it could be caused by implantation of the egg into my uterine lining. so now im really excited, but i don't want to get to excited. has anyone else ever had implantation spotting? im going to take a hpt in the am! wish me luck!
kngrove 2010-08-25 22:41:35
Its been awhile since i updated! I have really enjoyed reading about all u guys that are pregnant! Congrats! Unfortunately thats not the case for me I had my iud taken out on march 23rd and i have had a normal period every month since then, still no baby. Weve been having sex everynight and even went back to the dr to talk to her about any other things we should try. Her number one suggestion was not to stress about it and just let it happen. so ladies as hard as it is, don't stress! I should start again on september 1st, but were really hoping this is our month and I don't!! Good luck to everyone else out there trying! It will happen for us soon!
armorgan1986 2010-08-24 06:16:57
Thanks for the congrats, hang in there and baby dust to everyone. I'm so excited I go for an ultrasound in 2 weeks, don't ask me why but I have been feeling and dreaming there's 2, I hope not but if it happens I'll will truly be blessed. My husband and I have a 3 year old little girl that is so excited, but still don't understand lol she thinks we bought her a little bro or Sis. Just remember after your mc do it every other day for about two weeks and just relax and don't stress about. It will happen when the time is right, and just to let u guys know the day my iud was removed my doc told me to start trying and that I didn't have to wait a cycle or two. She's been working with IUDs for over 20 years. So good luck and baby dust to all!!!!
Spatzi 2010-08-24 04:53:04
Sineadjane, Maybe your clinic meant not an infection but it's possible you could be pregnant as soon as the coil is removed. This is the reason why he said if you had sex within the week, the sperm is still alive inside of you and when the coil is removed, you could be pregnant. Better talk to your OB again...
sineadjane 2010-08-23 16:37:38
hi can some1 help me i dont knw wot to do i have rung my clinic up today to get my coil removed but they sed if i av ad sex within the week i can get infection is this true xx
Spatzi 2010-08-23 10:03:13
Ali_alley, Wow, congrats! Nice to hear that you are pregnant already. No more waiting game, so lucky! Wish us luck too!
Ali_Alley 2010-08-23 08:20:23
Okay Ya'll as you know I was a negitive last month. But guess what. IM PREGNANT!!!.. I concieved this month, and had 2 positive tests. Exciting isnt it? So have faith. I didnt concieve the month I had mine out. but I did the next month so keep up hope!!

cameron12008 2010-08-13 09:11:32
Hi, I am new to the site, I have been doing some research to see about how long most ppl wait after removing mirena iud to get pregnant. I am getting mine removed on the 25th so that we can ttc our second. I don't know how long it will take this time but i hope not long. It took us 9 months to conceive our son after coming off bc pills. I enjoyed reading all the diff. posts hope everybody wanting to conceive gets there quickly....waiting is terrible.
sony 2010-08-12 13:28:41
I had the mirena IUD from June of 2007, and had it taken out March 2010. My period started the next day. It was normal. In April, no period. In May a period and also in June and July. My cycles I have noticed are about 30 days long, but normal. My last period started July 8th. I was due for one August 7th. I have taken 3 preg. test about 3 days before said period was suppose to come, and they all came out neg. I have some of the preg symptoms but not all. I've recently become tired more than usual, and a bit moody. I also have some headaches and I've been dizzy twice. My breasts have not become tender. I will be taking a preg test today. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one that is confused.
Spatzi 2010-08-12 04:31:41
Mol10, My OB-Gyne did not do the ovulations test since I will fly already in the next 3 days. I was there in my home country only for summer holiday and they just opened the clinic (they also had holiday) on the day of my appoinment so there was no chance that he could do it. He said if he will check it (if I'm ovulating or not), I must stay there at least a month or two to follow up each step which I can't do since I am working abroad. That's why he suggested that I buy first this ovulations test to see if I'm ovulating or not then search a good OB-Gyne here where I worked!
In your case, never heard a missed period after IUD. Most women like me had MC every month but very very light. 1-2 days (pantyliners are actually enough) very very light. I asked this to my OB if it's normal and he said "yes" as long as it is coming every month. Better talk to your Dr too and let's see what he will say. Goodluck!!!
stephie 2010-08-11 17:53:31
Thanks for the info!! I did have the Mirena in and still no MC, i did end up taking a test but it came back negative. I guess i'll just have to be patient.
mol10 2010-08-11 07:07:47
Spatzi, did the obgyn do any test on u to determine u were not ovulating?(blood etc.) or was it a wild guess?
My story is, I too just had my mirena taken out in April. A week later I had my MC (4/23-4/2 then in May I had no MC but June 5th-10th I had a normal mC. That was the last time I had my MC,it's almost halfway in August and no MC. Is this normal?
Spatzi 2010-08-11 05:18:32
Stephie, What kind of IUD you had before? Copper or Hormonal IUD (Mirena)? Each woman's body is different...some expect soon after the removal, some waited much longer to conceive like me. It's been one year now since I removed my Mirena and still no luck! Had appointment with my OB-Gyne and all ok. He said, maybe I am not ovulating so bought this ovulations test to see if I am ovulating or not. Will start the test on the 12th...hope + the result. Still wishing goodluck to all the women here still trying....
stephie 2010-08-10 21:58:04
I had my IUD in for about 2 and 1/2 yrs and had it removed on July 8, and my MC started on July 11th and was pretty normal (did not have one with my IUD in) I am not 2 days late. I am curious if I could possibly be expecting this soon??? Trying not to get my hopes up!!
mol10 2010-08-10 00:03:15
KC05, any positive test yet?
kc05 2010-07-29 19:52:49

Ali_Alley 2010-07-22 18:54:19
Well I started my MC. So, Atleast now I know for sure. But there is always this month. So we are gonna try again, I hope we get lucky!! Best of luck to all of you guys also.
Ali_Alley 2010-07-21 22:03:18
Wow, See that blows me away, being when I had it removed my doctor warned about pregnancy, and told me that My periods should be normal. But you know the tests only go so far. But oh well I will keep waiting. Hopefully it wont be too long. Im gonna go to my doctor in another month if it still hasnt happened and be like uh whats going on. But other than that I guess its all about waiting. Right? Life.. full of waiting..... I also decided to go back and read some of the older responses. Someone complaining about us wanting all to get pregnant right away. They must not understand. I thought about it and fully understand why all/if not most of us want to get pregnant away. I think we waited till we were 110% ready to have a baby. Now that we are at 110%, we are eager. Its like saying, okay dinners done, but how long is it gonna take to cool? You havent eaten all day and are starving, would you want it to hurry up and cool, or wait 45 minuets?... I think the situation is similar. We are eager, and yes we can wait, but we dont want to. But I guess there is always gonna be the few who just dont get it.
julieah79 2010-07-20 00:22:32
Ali_Alley Its so frustrating but I'm pretty sure most of us on here would agree that your period is irregular after the IUD, especially right after getting it removed. I've read some on here that went months after removal without one. Mine wasnt on time either but they say thats normal after having it in. i had it for a few days..then it stopped just to start again for a day then stop and it did that for the month. hopefully it comes soon
Ali_Alley 2010-07-19 21:21:50
Well I had My IUD Removed on the 28th of June, My period is a day late. We took one of the early pregnancy test just 4days ago, you know one of the ones that is suppose to detect early pregnancy. It was negitive. My period never came and its very very very regular. Like 28 days to the T. But, its late, and I got a second negitive today. Now neither test I took in the morning, but I didnt with my other two children either. I felt so silly taking one early, now feel even sillier taking one now and it still being negitive. Did anyone have a late period after they had their IUD removed? It was the Copper IUD...
javashae 2010-07-18 11:23:57
Well no luck last month, had my mc last week so I guess we are going too try again... doing the robitussin again since I hear it works. Maybe this is the month! Wish me luck, and good luck to the others trying!
mznikkiey 2010-07-18 08:40:02
hey guys!! just decided to come here for a lil tlc I took a hpt today & it came out neg Im so sad and I cant even bring myself to tell my hubby I know I gotta but he is just as anxious as i am to see if we are hes gonna be crushed I know this is only our 2nd month ttc (and its not the end of the month yet cz i hvnt started mc) but it never took me this long to get preggers we usually couldnt use the same soap with out me gettn preg but its just annoying you know i mean the waiting part because we r definetly njoyn all the extra curricular activities we hv goin on around here i guess we'll keep tryn,anyone else hvn problems ttc after the paragard removal???
Spatzi 2010-07-17 01:36:47
Momof3maybemore, Your OB-Gyne is right...it is possible that you could be pregnant after your IUD removal since the sperm can last within you around 5 days. That means about 120 hrs so if you had sex within the last 72 hrs, the sperm is still alive. No wonder they suggest (if you really dont want to get preggy) at least one week no sex before the IUD removal. I don't know how long you got your IUD but each women is different. Some women easily got pregnant (as early as 2 weeks from IUD removal), some are even more than a year up to now, no luck. Even me, one year now since my Mirena IUD was removed, still waiting the waiting game! Still no luck! So to all the ladies still trying like me...goodluck to all of us
momof3maybemore 2010-07-15 20:15:50
OK ladies question for you I got my IUD removal on 7/102010 and when I had it removed the OB ask if I had sex within the last 72 hours and I did. She said it is very likely that i could be preggos or could get preggos. Has anyone else heard this??? Also when I heard this I went home and took a O.H.T and it was pos. But I started bleeding like a period, (1st one is 3 years). Just wondering if you think I cold still be preggos?
mznikkiey 2010-07-14 21:37:57
hey guys! I guess u can call me the newbie ! Im just happy I found somewhere were I can Hang out whle I too play the waiting game. I jus had my P/G IUD removed last month on te 8th I had my mc on the 22nd and now we are waiting to see if we r preggers wish us luck!!
mizzamberjoy 2010-07-06 03:42:53
Those of you who are having trouble trying to concieve try Robatussin. TRUST ME!!! it really works....my sis in law was trying for 3 months and then started taking Robatussin because she heard it helps and within 2 weeks she had concieved. TRUE STORY

Well hello everyone again, i have been busy with school but i finally found time to get back on here and post an update... I am hoping this month is the month i get pregnant! All of this has been so confusing because of having the Marina IUD removed but i'm patient and know it will happen when its finally time to happen.! Good luck to you all! Katie
mrsfreeman 2010-07-01 22:24:48
yayayayayayayay . we got a postitive test result actually five cause i kept wanting to make sure. i dont have the slightest idea how far along because my mc started on may 26 and went away for half a day and returned june 5 . so confused,..yeahhhhhhh we are pregoossss.. love it,, cant wait to write more on hear
Spatzi 2010-06-29 05:05:08
Sunnyd68, You're not alone! I have also the same worries like you...after 10yrs Mirena IUD, my MC became irregular. Before IUD, had normal MC 5-6 days. But after IUD, only 2-3 days very light (just enough to use pantyliner). It's been 10 months now since Mirena IUD was removed, still no luck!
Kimberly, Good to know I am not alone waiting the "waiting game". Good idea to have an appointment with my OB-Gyne and I'm scheduled to be there on 27th July as I am outside my home country. Will be there for summer holiday so it's pretty good timing to have an ultrasound like what you've said!!! Goodluck to us!
sunnyd68 2010-06-27 20:56:01
Did anyone else have significant changes in their MC after having your IUD removed? Mine normally lasts atleast 5 days, but this time it was only 2-3 days and was really light. Just wondering if anyone else experienced this.
Kimberly 2010-06-27 11:15:52
Hey everyone Ive wrote on here before about having issues getting pregnant after having my Mirena IUD removed. We've been trying for over a year now with no luck. Well Monday of the week I had to have surgery to remove a cyst on my left ovary that wouldnt go away for the past 3 months. This is the first time Ive ever had this problem. The doctors say that is why I havent been able to get pregnant. I dont know how long the cyst was there, I only found out about it because after talking to the doctor they decided to do utlrasounds. So it might be a good idea for those of you that are having issues to go get checked out, I know Im glad I did ;-) Now I just have to wait for the hubby to come home from iraq and hopefully we will concieve ;-) Goodluck to everyone!
min032 2010-06-25 19:32:27
Hi everybody i'm new to this site had my coil removed today the mira coil (i think) and now trying for little one to join the family, fingers crossed, m/c due 29th this month, so missed ovulation, just going on trial and error for time being
sunnyd68 2010-06-24 18:16:55
Bad news for me this time. I started my MC yesterday!! I thought i was especially after the results I got on the test and all the symptoms I've been having, but I guess it's either hormones or just in my head. Hopefully better luck next month. I'm still taking the prenatals and mucinex. Just found out yesterday my little brother is expecting another baby, their 3rd. I'm happy for them, but wish it was me too.
javashae 2010-06-23 19:57:16
Congratulations to those of you that have already conceived! I am ovulating these next few days so I hope I get my wish! Have been taking my prenatal vitamins and taking mucinex so hopefully it works! Wish me luck!! c(:
cholley 2010-06-22 02:18:58
sunnyd68: Yes, it was quite fast and very shocking to me! For you, what you need to do is go get a digital preg test. The first non digital one I took was the same as yours. Very faint and I had to go into the direct sunlight to really see it. So I went straight to the clinic and had blood drawn and then to the store for a digital test. Both came back pos. and I didn't have to wait around any longer stressing out.
sunnyd68 2010-06-21 13:46:06
CHolly, Congrats on our good news. I wish it could be so easy for all of us. I'm still waiting. Haven't had my MC yet, but test still say negative. Guess I'll do some more "hurry up and wait".
Spatzi 2010-06-21 11:35:29
CHolley, Quite lucky that you conceived that fast...that's around 2 weeks only! Wow, I never thought it could really happen that fast. Most of the ladies here still playing the "waiting game" like me...10 months now since I removed Mirena IUD but still no luck! Still wishing goodluck to all of us still trying...congrats to all who had been sucessfull!
CHolley 2010-06-21 08:29:48
Positive Story: I had my ParaGuard IUD for a little over a year. Hubby and I decided to try for another child so I had it removed 4 Jun 2010. I was supposed to have ovulated already on the 2nd. I thought I'd have to wait until the end of the month to try again. Well, after some positive thinking I figured maybe I ovulated late due to a trip we had taken (I know that can delay ovulation). Turns out I got a positive test on Thursday 17 June. I was shocked and I just hope everything goes well. I know it's early and you're supposed to wait a cycle. But I didn't even think it was possible. I just wanted to make sure everyone knows that there's always the posibility of fast conception after an IUD. Good Luck to all! And congrats to those who have been successful!
sunnyd68 2010-06-20 07:27:36
They say that the earliest a home preg test can pick up the hormone is 19 days after becomeing pregnant. So june 12 th would prob be too early for it to show up. Probably won't show up till around the 1st of July.
mrsfreeman 2010-06-19 08:20:39
hello ladys good luck to all !! . well here it is i have all of the prego symptoms and test after test and nothing im so confused i actually had my mc on may 26 and it lasted until june 9 can you believe it. i have always been irregular but that took the cake. we tryed again on our wedding night which was june 12 and im just hoping that this will be it.. have taken two test already im anxious was that too soon to test i really dont know?. what about the symptoms is it just in my head. any ideas will be help full thank you all and good luck.
sunnyd68 2010-06-18 18:40:24
i took another test, first thing this morning, hoping i'd get a different answer than yesterday (had got an unclear result), but it was negative. but i still haven't started my mc. guess i'm still playing the waiting game.
texasgirl24 2010-06-18 08:58:00
well no luck for me either i started today. this sucks really bad..I have to wait for the hubby to come home and hopefully we can get it before he leaves again.
karen 2010-06-18 06:27:58
Well no luck for me this month got my mc try again next month
sunnyd68 2010-06-17 23:55:55
well, i'm still kinda confused and frustrated. Still haven't started yet, though i probably should've by now. But my periods aren't extremely regular, but i'm usually early if anything. i took a preg test today and got a funky answer. it was questionable. there's just barely a line on one side where the positive line would be. it says if there's anything there then you should consider it positive, but i don't want to get my hopes up, so i'll test again in a day or two if i haven't started by then. but it does give me a little bit more hope that maybe i am preg. anyway, good luck ladies. i'll be praying for yall, and hope you'll do the same for me.
kngrove 2010-06-17 02:01:09
had my iud out on mar 23rd after 4 yrs. still nothing. i should be ovulating this week so we will see. good luck to everyone else who is trying. it will happen for us eventually ladies.
javashae 2010-06-15 10:16:11
well mother nature won this round! started a week late guess we have to try again this month...
texasgirl24 2010-06-14 16:43:50
Havent had any luck yet still the waiting game im suppose to start my cycle but lest hope that I dont
Spatzi 2010-06-12 05:59:22
Still no luck......!!! It's been 10 months now since I removed the Mirena IUD last Aug 2009. As I've said before, I had it for 10 yrs (2x each 5yrs) ... the waiting game really sucks! I have had a healthy pregnancy before (also easily get pregnant) but after 10 yrs IUD, looks like the hormones destroyed my body!!! That's what I'm starting to think now! Anybody experienced the same this long???
sunnyd68 2010-06-11 19:16:19
I don't know what to think right now. I'm having lots of signs of being pregnant, nausau, tired, that kinda stuff, but i took a test yesterday and it was negative. But it could've been too early...or at least that's what i'm hoping. The waiting game sucks so bad!!!

I hade the Mirena inserted after my second son was born, weight gain , I did not have periods after 2 months of having. I was really worried because I get pregnat very easily so I will take a preganancy teste everymont, I was going insane , my husband was able to fill a poke during intercorse, so I decided to remove it after a year, that was april of 2008, I had 3 misscarriages since then after 2 healthy pregnancies and no miscarriages before, my dostos can't explained was in going on, I'm goin to a fertility specialist next week, I think the mirena destryed my body, never taken pills or any type of hormones before the mirena I always use the days method, I'm extremely regular so always worked for me, base on my experience if you are planing to have more kids get something else not the mirena.

Here's my story.. I had the copper iud removed on April 7th the last day of my menstrual cycle. May 7th came and no period. I took hpts from May 7 through May 29th all came back negative yet I had all the symptoms. I was in aww at the fact that I was tired all the time, had increased my trips to the restroom my boobs were hurting and yet test after test they were all negative. On May 30th I decided to go for a blood test, the following day I received the call...what do you know...positive, so I went to one of those pregnancy clinics and finally the stick had a faint line indicating I was pregnant, so they referred me to an gyn on June 1st. He had me at 8 wks calculating from my lmp, so when he did the transvaginal ultrasound nothing came up. I was disappointed, frustrated..to name a few of my feelings. He then sent me to get more blood drawn and it came back at hcg levels of 480, he said I am in a very early stage of the pregnancy so he re-scheduled me for June 21st. So we will see what happens at that visit, I am just frustrated at not knowing how far along I am... This whole thing has been stressful, after about 2 months w/o a period finally a positive test, then nothing on the sonogram.....AAAAAAYYYY
julieah79 2010-06-09 04:32:27
even though the waiting sounds like it sucks..isnt it fun trying? haha
texasgirl24 2010-06-08 23:19:13
I hear you the waiting process sucks...
karen 2010-06-08 23:10:22
Well did the ovulation kit this month guess have to waiy and see if i get pregnant i hope it happened this month i am tired of waiting for it to happen
KatieK. 2010-06-08 02:42:34
Just an update... i still haven't started and i am starting to think i actually might be pregnant already! I am waiting until at least Wednesday though to take another HPT... but i really hope i am pregnant already!
javashae 2010-06-06 05:10:40
so for some reason everyone is asking me if I am pregnant!! I worked myself up to take a test this morning and negative.... so I am going to just wait and see if I miss next week, and if so I will take another, but I really hate waiting! I pray this is it!!!
texasgirl24 2010-06-06 01:22:40
katieK, I would have to agree with you..Its worth the wait O to have a child from a pervious marriage and recently got married and we want a child together this would be my second and this will be his first. It would be awesome to find out that Im pergo on Fathers day. Unfortually my hubby will be deploy but it would be exciting news for him to get.
KatieK. 2010-06-05 23:14:09
Oh i know it will be worth the wait! trust me... I already have a 7 year old daughter who i love very much from my past marriage and i have always wanted 2-3 kids and i just had to wait for the right time and the right person but we are confident in our decision and I am just trying not to expect to much to soon really... Hope is a good thing but i dont want to set myself up for disappointment either. I am going to wait a week or maybe even two before i take another HPT.. it would be great to find out for fathers day though...hehehe
julieah79 2010-06-04 22:27:17
KatieK. Good luck at figuring all this out...because its confusing. I had mine removed after 13 months and started my MC 2 days later that was a heavy one lasting 5 days..so I had a feeling I was pregnant so I was taking HPT that all came up negative..but sure enough I found out 2 weeks later I was. it was just so soon for the HPT to show it. I assumed the 5 day bleeding was to be considered a period..but it wasn't. i started bleeding again about a week after that for only half the day and that is what they said was my actual period (makes no sense) but thats how we figured my due date and its right on. But I read on here everyday and alot of girls say how it messes with their cycles. keep in mind some conceive fast (like me..I did in22 days after having it removed) and others take months..but if it does take a while it will be worth the wait. GOODLUCK!! =)
KatieK. 2010-06-04 19:40:52
Hi i am new to this site. My name is Katie i am 26 and my BoyFriend of over a year has told me he is ready to have a baby with me which i am Extremely excited about. I have a few questions tho .. I had the Mirena IUD in for a very short time due to the fact it was placed a little to low and caused extreme cramping. I had the IUD put in on April 20th had my normal cycle the next day. On mothers day my boyfriend told me the great news and i already had an appointment to have the IUD removed on May 10th because of the issues i was having. We had intercourse the night it was removed and then i started a brown MC (Dr. said it was just oxidized blood because the IUD slowed down my MC) but it lasted 5 days, should i consider that my period it was pretty heavy the full 5 days. Once the "cycle" was over we have not used any ovulation kits or anything just trying the old fashion way of trying as much as possible and hope for the best. I have been feel bloated and my breasts are extremely tender and have been for over a week now and a little moody but that could all be PMS or wishful thinking.
Since i have not had and spotting or bleeding of any kind and i am confused as to what to consider my cycle... if it reset my cycle having it removed i would be due to start anyday now as my normal cycle is 26 days... part of me is hoping i am pregnant already but a big part of me tells me it is just to soon... I did take a HPT this morning and it came back negative. but i figured it would say negative actually so it wasnt much of a dissappointment.
sunnyd68 2010-06-04 13:49:15
I don't know about you ladies, but after having my IUD removed after having it since '02 I've had some hormone problems. I've had bad mood swings, headaches, stomach upset, tired, and several other things....some that might make you believe you were pregnant if you are trying. So maybe this is what's going on with some of you other ladies. I don't know, but my doc told me that it's really common to have hormone imbalances for a couple months after getting the IUD out. It's just your body's way of trying to even things back out. Hope that helps. Good luck yall.
javashae 2010-06-02 23:02:47
ok so no luck yet... but I should start on the 7th this month. my mom has been having dreams of me having a girl, and she doesnt even know that we are trying again! Im crossing my fingers and praying that she is right! please pray for us!!
Spatzi 2010-06-02 05:35:04
Mrs. Freeman, some of the ladies here experienced the same...had symptoms of pregnancy but negative on test. I think, it has something to do with the IUD long time in a woman's body. Some suggests to take blood test and if you are really pregnant, it will show! Goodluck!
mrsfreeman 2010-05-31 19:38:36
hello ladys, congrats to the monnys that have conceived and keep up hope for those that havent..and good luck, well i had the paraguard removed on april 7th after having it in for 6 years. i have all of the prego symptoms nassuas, light headed, moody and crave weird things i have taken so many prega, test and nothing. im so confused can anyone give me any clue as to what is happening. thank you
texasgirl24 2010-05-31 05:11:47
Just found out that my bestfriend is prego with baby #2. So that makes my sis, my cousin and bf that are prego three people.Im so happy for them but I been trying for months and nothing . My hubby is about to leave on a deployment soon and im suppose too ovulate before he leaves so we will see
sunnyd68 2010-05-28 21:43:41
Well, I just had my IUD removed after having it in since Feb '02. I believe it was the old fashion copper type. I had a little bleeding that day, but then started my MC today. I'm hoping that it won't take too long, but I've heard rumors that there are higher risks if you get pregnant within the first month of having a misscariage. I'm also a nurse, so I thought I'd make a few suggetions for you ladies who are trying to conceive but not having much luck. I've done some studying in some of my medical jernals and found some vitamins that seem to show that they can really help. Plus it's proven that taking 200mg of gaufinesin a day (the plain Robittusin) 3 x a day helps the cervix to be ready for pregnancy. Also, Vit C (1000mg a day), B12 up to 50 mcg a day, Folic Acid 400 mg a day, B6 up to 50 mg a day, Zinc up to 30 mg a day, Selenium 100mcg a day, and Vit E can also greatly increase your chances. Check the prenatal vitamins at most stores....a lot of them already have most of this stuff in them and will save you some money. My doctor suggested a prenatal vitamin anyway. The studies also show that smoking and caffiene (including chocholate and dark teas) decrease your odds. And if you really want to try really hard there are some vitamins you can give to your man to increase his sperm count and mobility.....B12 50mcg/day, Zinc 30mg day, Selenium 100mg/day, L-Arginine 300mg/day (you can get it at walmart), Folic Acid 400mg/day, B6 50mg/day, and Vit C 1000mg/day. Well, I hope that helps yall out. You can find most of that info on the computer too if you look for it just incase you want to check it out for yourself. Let me know if any of it seems to help. Good luck to everyone. I'll let you know how my situation goes as well. God Bless!!
kngrove 2010-05-28 00:42:53
Well i got my iud removed on mar 23rd still no baby. i should've started my mc yesterday tho but i didnt! im going to wait a week or so to take a test if i dont start. don't want another round of disappointment...good luck to eveyone else on here.!

texasgirl24 2010-05-25 06:19:47
Karen, I hope it works out for you. I havent taken a prego test yet, but I started my period. So I dont even know if I even want to take a prego test now. My hubby is about to leave on deployment and I ovulate before he leaves so hopefully it works.
karen 2010-05-25 01:04:20

Spatzi 2010-05-17 10:56:47
Also new to this site and relieve to know that I am not alone waiting for the "waiting game"! I am 36 now and have an 11 yr old daughter, never thought that I would want another one after such a long time. I have had a Mirena IUD 2X (each 5 years)...that means, I had it for a total of 10 yrs. I had it removed Aug 2, 2009 and since then, trying to get pregnant! Unfortunately after that till this moment (9 months now), still no baby! After reading all your comments, probably it's true that the longer you have it, the longer you'll conceive! I'm still keeping my fingers crossed and have in mind what my OB-GYNE in Germany has told me...between 3 months to 1 year to get pregnant! Congrats to all of you expecting and goodluck to us women still trying!!!
jdameron1 2010-05-17 02:13:20
Hello ladies I'm new to this site. I have been married 3 years and i have a 3 year old little girl. i had my paraguard removed on the 7th of may, which is 7 days from my actual menstrual cycle( which hasn't started yet). it's been two weeks now and i've had heartburn really bad, a little bit a nausea, a little bit of bloating, and when i stand up i get dizzy..is it me or does it sound like i might be pregnant?..i keep telling myself its too soon to get pregnant.
Mysterious1 2010-05-12 01:08:30
I'm new to this site. I have 2 young boys and really want a girl to complete my family. My 2 boys are almost 1 and 2 this June. I've have the 10yr IUD in for almost 10 month niow. Scheduled to have IUD removed at the end of this week. I've had NON Stop bleeding since the it was inserted. My dr checked and everything looked fine. She told me to give it some time for my body to get used to it. I think 9 mo's is long enough time to have a lengthy mentrasl cycle. I wonder how long it will or could take for my to see if that girl will finally come along?? Will I lose my 1st preg on IUD is out?? Will it taske a while or happen right away?? Does it depend on my body, considering I've been bleeding for 9 mo's straight.

kngrove 2010-05-01 17:08:28
So I finally started my mc on april 28th as of today it has stopped. So hopefully we can try again!
texasgirl24 2010-04-26 18:46:56
Kngrove, I had my IUD removed march23 and still havent gotten a positive test yet. I did a ovualtion calender to see when I ovualted. My ovulation was april 9 to the 12. And still nothing. The waiting game is the hardest thing to do. I hope may is the month, my hubby leaves for deployment soon so i hope he leaves me a lil gift before he leaves. Just hang in there it will happen when it happens.
kngrove 2010-04-26 03:12:18
Thanks Momofone. This Waiting Game Sucks Though, Im Doing My Best To Stay Positive I Know It Will Happen When Its Meant To. If Anyone Else Has Any Stories Or Advice That May Make Me Feel Better Please Feel Free To Share.
momofone 2010-04-25 19:08:59
kngrove same happened with me....seems like youre just gonna have to wait it out you may still be preg but the iud seems to make pregnancy detection difficult even if you get a blood test done....other women have had to wait at least six weeks before they got a positive preg result...i would say track ovulation to see if youre still ovulating....and then play the waiting game...others have had to wait a month or more before they got their cycles again after iud removal....good luck
kngrove 2010-04-25 16:41:45
I Had My IUD Removed On Mar 23rd. I Was Actually On My Period When I Got It Removed. The Doctor Said I Got It Removed At The Best Time And Would Prob Be Preg In 2 Weeks. It Is Now April 25th I Have Still Not Started My Period And I Took A HPT This Morning And Neg. So Im About 6 Days Late With Breast Tenderness And Im Not Preg. Im So Confused & I Don't Understand.
texasgirl24 2010-04-22 19:41:40
No this isnt my first kid I have a 2yr old son. But this will be my first to with my hubby he doesnt have a kid of his own. We recently found out through DNA testing that the son who we thought was his son wasnt after all. So we been trying for the last couple of months. I hope this month is the month.

momofone 2010-04-22 02:28:58
texasgirl24 are you trying for your first? I can relate with close relatives being prego while youre still trying...my sis in law was prego while i was trying ....i finally got pregnant with my daughter and we were pregnant together and our girls are one month apart! So keep trying you may get to share a pregnancy with your sis which would be really special
karen 2010-04-22 00:09:24

texasgirl24 2010-04-22 00:07:28
I hope May is the month...Almost everyone I know is prego I just found out yesterday that my sis is prego. I was happy for her but sad to becuase I been trying for the last couple of months.

texasgirl24 2010-04-21 03:14:58
Karen, usually after you IUD is taking out it takes awhile for your cycle to go back to normal. But just give it time. Have you done a ovualtion calender. That helps out a lot. good luck...
karen 2010-04-20 22:47:55
Hi, my name is karen and i had my mirena taken out on march 23 2010. AND I HAVE NEVER STARTED.I have to a hpt test but it says negative some one please help i have no clue whats goin on
am2z05iraq 2010-04-20 21:37:18
Hi I removed my IUD on 17 / 02 I got bleeding or a period after 2 days for 5 days, then a bleeding for 3 days on 14/03 and I got pregnancy signs but all the tests was negative. yesterday 19/03 I got a period but still feel tingling in my breasts and before yesterday I got tingling in lower abdomen many times for few seconds. can any one explain what happened and why I didnot get pregnant?
momofone 2010-04-20 03:28:19
I am new to this site. But from what I gather from everyone's post is that the iud causes delayed cycles when they are removed. It seems as if they also alter the reults of pregnancy tests...so many people said they had negative tests just to find out they were ideed pregnant...even some women got blood tests done that were negative and they were pregnant as well. I think maybe the iud lowers a womans hormone levels making pregnancy detection difficult.
I got my copper iud removed mar 24 in the middle of my cycle. I had it in for three years. I ovulated on apr 5th (I can always feel my ovulation) My cycle was due this past saturday on apr 17 but it didnt come. Of course i was excited because i am very regular and have never been late on a cycle except for when I got preg with my daughter. I took a HPT it was negative. I was very confused so I started doing research and thats when I came across this site and lots of you guys saying that you've had delayed periods after the iud. I am extremely annoyed because they tell you the copper iud is not supposed to alter your cycles. Now I have no idea if im preg or not or when my cycle is coming or even if it'll be regular again
texasgirl24 2010-04-19 20:40:26
mspalady4, I mine removed march 23 and me and my hubby and been trying since. My ovulation was two weekends ago. I been taking test every week just to check and nothing yet. with some woman it happens real fast and others it takes time.
MsPAlady4 2010-04-19 19:47:13
Hello ladys, I just hade my Paragurard removed monday April 12. Me and my husband are ready to concieve. I'm a little scared with all the stories I'm reading here. the first day of my last menstraul (FDLMP) was 4/9/2010. Is it too early for me to worry about being pregnant? I know that I would ovulate unitl the 23, but I scared that I would be able to have a child for awhile. What do you think?
julieah79 2010-04-18 20:19:03
texasgirl.. I had mine removed after having it a year on dec. 2nd..and conceived on dec. 15th!! i had NO idea it could happen that fast..haha.. sooo keep trying

Had my IUD removed March 23 and been trying since and nothing. has anymone had theres removed recently with any luck???
Kimberly 2010-04-15 00:19:42
Hi Everyone, I had my Mirena IUD removed in May 2009. It took me a few months to finally get my period, I had none the entire 4 1/2 years I had it. My period has been very irregular for the past couple of months, so I went to my doctor to try and find out why. I ended up having an ultrasound done and the results showed I had endomertioma ( I was told it is cysts on my ovaries and blood that flowed backwards and is covering my ovaries ) the doctor wanted me to wait 6 weeks and then have another ultrasound. He is hoping that the endometrioma will resolve itself. I've never had any issues at all before, I got pregnant very easily with my daughter who is now 11. Me and my husband have been actively ttc since day 1 of the IUD removal. I was wondering if anyone has had any similar issues? Any comments would be greatly appreciated ;-)
texasgirl24 2010-04-14 23:03:09
Thanks sissinana....Ill wait a week or so to take a test. ever since I got my uid out i been taking a test every week to check. And each time I get my hopes up and everytime its been a negative test.
*L*Y*F*E* 2010-04-14 10:54:33
Hello I am fairly new to this site... I have a question as well I had my Paragard IUD removed due to an uterine infection and I had a profuse amount of blood that started on the 22nd that which I also had pain. Now I have been feeling tired and sore ..like my limbs hurt I had that issue with a prior pregnancy. Now the confusing part is my LMP was on March 3rd that rule that the heavy bleeding was due to the infection now I am late since its the 14th I am usually 24 day cycle I am confused can I get some answers back and do you think its too early to go get a pregnancy test?
julieah79 2010-04-14 01:35:06
texasgirl.. Hey..blood tests are awesome..they can tell you 7 days after conveiving..thats how I found out with this pregnancy
sissinana 2010-04-13 18:51:54
hi texasgirl what i can tell u is that i remember with my second one i ovulated between march 28th of 2007 and april 1st i took a pregnancy test on the 12th of april if i remember i know it was a week before my period due i took one of those home pregnancy (clear blue)and it was + so i know i was 3 weeks pregnant i hope it makes sence to u so i'll say to try next week or let 8 days pass after ur ovulation week and take it good luck

Mrs. Freeman Dont worry I had my IUD about three weeks ago my doctor gave me pre-natal pillss to take I been taking a pregency test every week but nothing yet. Im nervous and excited at the same time. I have to the conclusion that it will happen when it happens.

hello everyone!!! well i had mu para guard removed yesturday after 6 years. im excited but also freaked.. doctors gave me birth control pills to regulate my cycle before i start trying to conceive..
wildcatz 2010-04-08 18:34:27
I was wondering if anyone else has shared my experience and has any thoughts.
I am 32 years old. I had my copper IUD removed in September 2009 after having it for 8 years. We started TTC November 2009 after our doctor recommended we wait a couple of cycles. In Mid-January 2010, my period was late and we got a positive pregnancy test at home. About 1.5 weeks later, before going to the doctor, I started to bleed. I went to the doctor the same day I started to bleed. Urine and blood tests at the office showed I was NOT pregnant. The doctor said I probably had a "spontaneous abortion" (i.e. early miscarriage or chemical pregnancy), but I would never know for sure. We started TTC again and in Mid-March, I was late again and again got a positive home pregnancy test (different brand this time). I took three home tests in a span of five days to be safe. In each, I showed I was pregnant. I scheduled an appt to go to my doctor 8 days after my first positive home pregnancy test, but three days after having taken the last positive test. At the doctor's office, I took a urine test and had an ultrasound. Both came out negative. I was again baffled. I reassured my doctor that I had taken 3! tests at home and that all were positive. Doctor again said couldn't know for certain, but likely that I again had a "spontaneous abortion." After two, I'm getting a little nervous, but want to stay positive and hope that this is not unusual. We will keep TTC, but would love to know if anyone else out there has shared this experience and what your ultimate result was.
Thanks in advance.

I just got my IUD removed about a week ago. And me and my husband been trying to get pregnant. I hear about woman getting pregnant just a couple of days after there removal. I know its only been a week. Is there anything that I can do to high the chances of getting pregnant.
julieah79 2010-04-01 04:10:35
baby2??? I cant understand much of anything either when it comes to this! haha when I got mine removed I had a very normal 4 day long period after..and thats what I thought my LMP was for figuring out a due date..but I was wrong. 2 weeks after that I bled for half a day..and thats what my due date is based around.. doesnt make sense but whatever! LOL!!! Have fun trying..hope to hear good news SOON!!
baby2?? 2010-03-31 21:08:10
julieah79. Hi, thank you for the info but no luck this time, it came 4/5 days late, so ragen! but fingures crossed after this will just have to try more lol cant understand it tho?
christinad1928 2010-03-26 22:57:25
Hi everyone! I just wanted to share that got my IUD removed after almost 4 years on dec 17 09 we conceived the first of Jan and we are expecting a baby on October 1st 2010! We had so many misconceptions with the drs because I never got a real period but i stillovulated and my horomone levels kept going up but they couldnt find a baby! so they told me I wa miscarrying most likely, my husband didnt want to believe it and decided that it was best if we went home and just waited it out, when i became so sick and miserable and couldnt bare living like that any longer we went in for a dnc and they found the baby right away! (heartbeat and all) I ended up getting pills to help my nausea and my dr told me that the other drs were treating me as if i ovulated like anybody else and didnt counter in the fact that I got pregnant so quick after my IUD! Im thankful to say so far baby looks good and im sticking with that one doctor! I wish you all good luck! and remember everything happens for a reason and it will happen when its supposed to! dont stress about it and exercise to get healthy, i was exercising for about a month and half before we started trying to have a baby ! it really helps to get healthy!
Julieah79 2010-03-26 20:59:41
baby2?? a blood test can show a positive 7 days after conceiving..and a HPT you should be good to take now especially if you are already late. I say go for it! =) with my 2nd baby I was only 2 days late and the HPT showed positive. This pregnancy I messed up on my period date so all my HPT were taken to early and were negative..but then when I figured it out I went in for a blood test 1 day late for my period and got a positive! =) GOOD LUCK!!
baby2?? 2010-03-26 18:52:35
Hi, Does any1 know how soon you can do a pregnancy test if period late? im a few days late now and im always on time ? now im wondering? could i be?? and if i am when will i no 4 sure??
javashae 2010-03-26 13:50:48
Thank you for the information. I thought it was too soon, but I cant explain these odd symptoms. I will definitely keep u posted as to what happens.
Julieah79 2010-03-26 13:16:21
javashae, Hi! =) As far as how long it takes to conceive is so different. For me, Im 3 1/2 months pregnant and conceived approximately 27 days after removal...others on here it happened sooner and some a few months after. I was actually just at the obgyn that removed my IUD and he said a woman came in last week and found out she got pregnant only 7 days after it was taken out. So I would say have fun trying and hopefully it happens soon
javashae 2010-03-26 12:43:13
Thank you for the information. I thought it was too soon, but I cant explain these odd symptoms. I will definitely keep u posted as to what happens.
aphrodite 2010-03-26 12:27:33
Javashae I am not medical in any way but the chances of ovulating and becoming pregnant 3 days after your period are very slim so the cramps could hae been due to something else. It is usual that you will Ovulate about 14 days before your next period so that is about a week after you finish give or take. so keep trying and I am sure it will happen soon xxxxxx
mrsfreeman 2010-03-26 01:15:46
hello again,, i wanted to know if anyone here had to wait to get preagnant after removing cooper iud or it's it ok to start right away. lo l thank you
javashae 2010-03-25 18:23:44
I am new to this site and just have a few questions and need some advice. I started prenatal vitamins and had my copper iud removed on march 2nd after 4 years of having it. I had my period as usual on march 8th and it lasted till the 13th. We have been trying ever since. on the 16th i started having a lot of cramping, bloating, nausea, headaches, breast tenderness and back pain that I am continuing to experience. I know it is to early to tell if I am pregnant but was wondering if it is normal to have these symptoms post removal. And also would like to know how long it usually takes to concieve after.
baby2?? 2010-03-25 11:57:35
kenndey1 awk that's lovely that u's will be due so close together! hopefully i shall not take long either i didnt with my frist so hopefuly wont with the 2nd lol
kennedy1 2010-03-23 17:30:11
I am due Nov 3rd and my friend is due on Nov 12th. Wish you the best! I had a friend last year that had a copper iud and it took her two months to concieve her second. She had a difficult time getting pregnant the first time so they were surprised it happened so quickly.
baby2?? 2010-03-23 17:07:27
Kennedy 1 Hi thats brillant hopefully then ill be saying the same soon! im due a period this week so sooner then the better lol so glad you told me your's and your friends good news! its now less worrying lol ! when are you due?
kennedy1 2010-03-22 17:42:09
baby2?? I did have mine recently removed. I would suggest waiting one period before getting pregnant though. I also have a friend that had her's removed shortly after i did. She waited one period and she is now pregnant. The cool thing is that our babies will be born really close together. So don't be discouraged.
baby2?? 2010-03-22 12:07:54
Hi just wondering has any one that has had a iud removed lately had any good new's? im desprate to say i have but no luck yet

UPDATE: I am one day late for my menstrual cycle so I took a hpt this morning and learned that i am pregnant!!! We are very excited! It only took two months
mrsfreeman 2010-03-18 06:20:11
i just finished reading a few of the post. im freaked out now my husband and i want to get preagnant as soon as i get the cooper iud out, im afraid of the posibility of miscarrige is this normal or it just happens to a few.
mrsfreeman 2010-03-18 06:15:22
hello im new on this site.. well i have the paraguard for six years now. i have been feeeling sick and i get my cycles every two weeks for the past two months, has anyone here had this before. i'm confused i don't know whats going on with my body. does anyone know if this is normal.. thank you
kennedy1 2010-03-17 23:22:18
So just an update. I went to the doctor yesterday and confirmed that I am & weeks pregnant. Accutally further along than I thought. I had my Mirena removed Jan. 12th and had bleeding Jan 15-18. I started cramping and bleeding heavily with large clots on Jan 27th and learned that I had concieved immediatly after having my iud removed and that I was having a miscarriage. Now the doctor says that i concieved around the 10th. I didn't get a positive pregnancy test until March 7th and I took them on feb 21st and 28th and on mar 4th. I was even taking ovulation test durning O and did not get a positive result on those either. So I was getting very frustrated and upset that i wasn't getting pregnant. So try not to get frustrated and do not rely on ovulation tests or get frustrated by a negative pregnancy test. My husband and I just continue to "practice" and we got lucky. Congrats to those that have gotten pregnant and good luck to those trying. Just keep trying.
baby2?? 2010-03-17 20:56:16
Hi every1 im also new 2 this site, i had my coil removed on the 5th of march and realy want to start trying 4 my 2nd child, does any1 no when it would be safe to try???
Babycoston 2010-03-16 20:59:26
Hey Everyone, I am new. I had the Mirena IUD. I didn't have it very long. I only had it for a little over a year. i already have two small children. i am planning to get married on May 15th. We have been trying eve since i had it taken out. Which was the beginning of Feb. I think something may be wrong. After i had it taken out i didn't bleed very much at all. The day after i bled moderately. It stopped and then I very lightly spotted for about three days. It was barely noticeable. i have gained wait and feel tired all the time. i took a test yesterday and it was neg.
aphrodite 2010-03-16 13:13:44
Hi all this is a great website. I had my copper coil removed on 9th March after my ovulation and want to have one clear period before trying. was due yesterday but nothing is this normal?
dsupermom 2010-03-15 06:41:25
On my fourth month of ttc . I had severe cramps on March 8 and started bleeding right after. Felt like contractions. My mother think I had a miscarriage? Has anyone experienced. Doctor thinks my uterus is contracting back from having my iud removed in Dec. Going to get checked out on March 29. Praying to get pregnant soon. Good luck to everyone.
kennedy1 2010-03-09 00:51:11
Dear 5or6? My first month after removal was odd too. I had a period on jan 2 had the iud remover jan 12 bled jan 15-18 the on jan 27 started bleeding again. Doctor blevieve I actually miscarried because my uterus just wasn't ready. I thought I would ovulate around feb 11th and we were def trying hard. I took tests on the 21st 28th and march 3rd all negative although I felt pregnant. I took one on march 7th because hubby insisted that I smelled different (weird I know) and that he knew I was pregnant. I took the test expecting a negative and was really surprised to see positive. So don't give up. It does happen. Try not to get frustrated I was starting to get that way and it was depressing me a bit. Just eat healthy take lots of folic acid and let it happen. Good luck!
Julieah79 2010-03-08 22:14:55
5or6..
sounds frustrations..I would either get a blood test to know for sure or just wait it out to see if your period comes..because it is really common to go a few months without a period after getting it removed.. good luck though
Julieah79 2010-03-08 22:13:27
kennedy1.. CONGRATULATIONS!!
5or6? 2010-03-08 08:04:30
Very frustrated, my period is 5 days late but I have took a tests 4 days before period expected, 1 day after, 3 days after, and now 5 days after - but all negitive. I know it is eairly still and this is my first month after removing iud but I just really want to know for sure yes or no so I can plan. If it is going to be try again next month thats ok I just want to know, it's just so frusterating! Any suggestions???
kennedy1 2010-03-07 23:10:22
So I took a pregnancy test this morning and it came up positive. So yeah! Hope everyone else has good luck too.
jesspald 2010-03-05 17:26:43
Still no bun in the oven Am now ovulating for the second time since having my IUD removed. TRYING HARD!! Hopefully I will be able to come back with some great news!!!
kennedy1 2010-03-05 01:43:14
I had my last period on jan 27th and have yet to have another period or a positive pregnancy test. My husband is in the army and is getting deployed in may. We are ttc before he leaves and and wondering if anyone else had similar problems after having their iud removed. I got pregnant with my first two kids while on the pill and now I want to be pregnant it isn't happening. Isn't that how life goes!
5or6? 2010-02-27 22:04:20
Thanks for the info Julieh79. I am glad to hear that everything is going well for you juliemitchell09, I completely agree with you about doctors not knowing everything and I am glad you are going to show tha doctor up! I had a really hard experience when I was pregnant with my first birthchild (she is my 3rd child because I have 2 adopted children that are 1 year older than her). All my life I had wanted to be a mother, in I actually got married very young (2 months before my 18th birthday) because I was very excited to get on with life and start my family (now that I am older I know that yes I was crazy to try to skip those single years that are very needed to have other life experiences). Anyway, I tryed for about 3 years to get pregnant with my first husband but - nothing. Finally the doctor said that I had severe PCOS and could not get pregnant. Well life happened and I got divorced and remarried and decided to do foster care with my new husband for "drug-exposed" infants while we decided what direction we wanted to go in our journy to have a family. Needless to say not 1 but 2 of our little foster babbies stole our hearts and when they both came up for adoption at the same time there of corse was no way we could choose between our children so we signed up to adopt both. At this time we (of corse) found out that I was pregnant as well! So now we would go from a newly wed couple to the parents of 3 in less than 1 year! We were very suprised but there would be exactly 1 year between the 2 we had nd the one on the way, or so we thought, unfortuntly my daughter was born at 23 weeks gestation, she was lucky to be as big as she was but that was only 1 pound 7 ounces. What had happened was that my doctor did not diagnose that I had bacterial vaginosis and when I went into urgent care at my hospital complaining of unusual amount of discharge they dismissed me as first time pregnant over worrier - my daughter was born one week and 2 days later. Also the doctor that delivered my daughter (a doctor I had never met before the week I spent under her care in the hospital trying to keep my daughter from being born) told me the whole time I was in labor with her that babbies aren't viable until 24-26 weeks gestation. She even said right after I delivered my daughter patting my knee "we'll do better next time", while my tiny "micro-premie" was born breathing trying to cry and definitly ready to fight!!! Well it did take 3 months in one of the best NICUs in the country (Sharp Mary Birch Hospital for Women) and a top Children's Hospital surgical team to put a clip on an under developed valve in her heart (PDA ligation) but now my little girl is pretty near perfect! She is 8 years old and top of her class in reading, plays on a softball team in spring and is still just as onry as ever! I know that we got extremly lucky with her and her health, she not even on any medications, but she will always be a very thin get tired easily and be prone to catching colds and such from a lower immune system. Well, I really didn't intend to write abook on here so sorry about that, my point was just that doctors are definitly just people and they don't know everything so trust yourself first - if you feel something about yourself you know best, get second opions if you don't agree - you are in the driver's seat. So thanks for letting me share my story, I hope somebody gets something out of it but if not, I did - THANKS.
juliemitchell09 2010-02-26 00:14:07
Update: I had my first Prenatal Appointment today and was told according to my HCG levels at this point, I am actually 8 weeks and 6 days pregnant!! WOW so that means that I did not in fact experience a Chemical Pregnancy but my Dr. believes that I just had blood drawn too early to detect a high enough level of HCG to register as Pregnant. I am still sort of in shock over all of this but I am happy that I began taking Prenatal vitamins as soon as I had my IUD removed because apparently shortly thereafter I conceived. There is hope out there ladies and from what I was told...if the Dr. does not do "serial blood tests" and an ultrasound BEFORE he/she diagnoses a Chemical Pregnancy...seek an answer from a second opinion or demand those things!
I do not drink, smoke anymore or do drugs but some women of child bearing age do and if Dr.'s continue to "diagnose" chemical pregnancies without thoroughly investigating it, some women who do partake in these activities may do these things while completely unaware that they are pregnant. I intend to take my Ultrasound pics of our baby up to my former Dr.'s office to show him our "chemical baby" to show him how crappy of Dr. he really is!
kennedy1 2010-02-25 01:12:58
I hàd my mirena iud removed on Jan. 12 and had what I thought was a period on the 15-18. My husband is in the army and we are hoping to concieve quickly. I was on the pill with my two other children and figured it would be easy to get pregnant when we started trying. I started bleeding heavily on jan 27 and discovered I was having a miscarriage. Didn't think it would happen that easy! Now I feel like I am pregnant but am not sure. I would have ovulated around the 11th and we have been having sex consistantly. But the test came up neg. But I am sooo tired and sick to my stomach and have to pee all the time. I should be able to get a positive by now right?
Julieah79 2010-02-24 04:34:49
5or6? I wasn't sure what it was either so I googled it and this is what I found.. -A chemical pregnancy is the clinical term used for a very early miscarriage. In many cases, the positive pregnancy test was achieved before the woman’s period was due but a miscarrige occured before a heartbeat was able to be seen on an ultrasound. Chemical pregnancies are unfortunately very common. 50 to 60% of first pregnancies end in miscarriage very early in pregnancy. Most occur without the woman even knowing that she was pregnant.
Hope that helps..I never heard of that either til I was reading on this site.
5or6? 2010-02-22 02:59:54
I am new to this site, can you please explain to me what a chem. pegnancy is? Is it common?

vanessa520 2010-02-16 16:11:57
Hi all im new to this site, but i thought id might give you some hope. I had my non hormaonal coil taken out on the 26th jan after 2 years, and have just found out that im pregnant. Its happened all so quick my last period was 13th jan, had my coil taken out wen i was ovulating on the 26th jan, 3 weeks later im pregnant. I wish loads of luck to you all.x
juliemitchell09 2010-02-14 08:08:56
Okay so just a little short update and a question...
I had a Chem. Preg. in early January and my AF started 23Jan2010 which was two days late (I am VERY regular) but it only lasted literally 24 hours and was REAL crampy. I have not taken a HPT since the Chem. Preg. for fear of disappointment. I was "due" to ovulate on 05-06Feb. and am pretty sure I did due to CM and BBT and husband and I did the deed twice on both days (TMI I know...sorry!). Since then (which would only be about 9dpo) I have had EXTREME fatigue and it seems that no matter how much sleep I get, I am falling asleep in the middle of the day, nearly falling asleep on my computer desk and heading to bed earlier than my three kids do! I do not have any other issues besides headaches but that happens during the cold/flu season anyway for me due to allergies.
My question is: is it possible that I really did not have a Chem Preg. at all and that I am still preggo from January?? The CP was only diagnosed via Quantitative Blood Test...no ultrasound and I have not been back to have blood work done nor have I taken HPT since then. That was on January 13, 2010. I had some issues with my first pregnancy where I was around 7.5 wks along before it would come positive on HPT's. I did not have Blood Tests done during that pregnancy to determine pregnancy so who knows if it would have shown up that way sooner. I am just kind of curious if this sounds possible to anyone on here? I am lost...lol
momof2 2010-02-12 21:49:15
hi all, Congratulations Dmarie and anyone else expecting. Good luck Jesspald. I posted a while ago wondering if i could be pregnant. It turns out i wasnt and the pill was making me ill. i came off it 22nd feb and had light period for 2 days on the 27th. We have been TTC since. I think I may have ovulated on the 6th but i am so unsure. is that too early? I really want it to happen soon but these have been the longest 2 weeks and still 2 more weeks til next period. Im driving myself crazy thinking about it. I would so love a little girl. I have 2 boys already 12 and 9. I miss having a baby around.
Anyways i loved reading all ur stories and baby dust to all of us. I'll keep you all posted
Dmarie 2010-02-12 20:27:27
It looks like my last posting didn't show up. Well i will try again. The short version im 32 and have 2 children 9 and 10. I had my iud for 4 years no period the last three. Iud was removed jan 7th 2010, AF 9th-12th, spotting the 18th &19th. I took 2 test the 4th and 6th of feb ya it was the 5 day sooner one but both neg. on the 10th i took another and got a faint positive so off to the Dr i went and the blood test said yes. so those of you TTC it can happen very fast.
Julieah79 2010-02-12 18:58:28

hopingfor1 2010-02-11 20:48:15
Good afternoon all. I am new to the site. I had my cooper IUD removed on Jan 14th 2010 (after 10 yrs of having it), which is less then a month ago, and we have been trying to get prego ever since. I was a little disappointed when I got my cycle this morning. I just knew it would happen right away. I am a mother of 2,11 and 10, and want just 1 more. Does anyone know about getting pregnate after having the cooper IUD so long???
dsupermom 2010-02-07 05:16:29
Thought this might be helpful
Something else often heard, even from doctors, is that ovulation is on day 14 of the menstrual cycle (with day one being the day you get your period). Some women hear this and decide to plan to have sex on day 14. The problem is that many women don’t ovulate on day 14 of their cycle. Normal ovulation can occur as early as day 10 and as late as day 20 (or even later, especially if your cycles are irregular).
dsupermom 2010-02-07 04:37:58
jesspald My cycle has been all messed up since having my iud removed Dec 2. They are usually like clock work. I was over 6 days late and when I took the pregnacy test it said neg. So good luck to you! Bella Good luck! I pray you conceive a girl. I am praying for a boy
jesspald 2010-02-05 18:48:59
I have had my IUD in place for about 2 1/2 years when we decided to conceive again. I had the IUD removed on Jan 6, 2010 right as my menstrual cycle was ending. Normally I am on a regular 4 week cycle. I should of started my period again on the 31st of Jan. but did not. I was excited to take a pregnancy test but it came out negative I waited two days and took another one, again, negative. I am now 5 days late and just cannot figure out what is going on with my body! I had the copper IUD in place (no hormones) so I cant imagine having it taken out could have messed with my cycle. Any suggestions?
Bella 2010-02-05 11:25:38
oops....continued I had the IUD in place for 5yrs no period taken out Jan 6th...AF Jan 7th for ( 8 days). We are going on our 2nd month TTC and have decided to just " let it happen", can't wait for my bump...Good luck ladies!!!
Bella 2010-02-05 11:19:58
All, Well I got my period on the 2nd as well, which came 5 days early then the first one I had last month since having the IUD out. BTW
Julieah79 2010-02-05 04:50:51
Unsure, I kinda have the same thing. I didnt have the long period but I only had 1 since my IUD came out (dec. 2nd)..and first period was dec 4th that lasted 4 days (I know the date for sure..and I know for sure we convieved on the 18th) so that would make me 9 weeks tomorrow..but they are saying I'm only 6..so thats also 3 weeks off like they are saying for you. I can't figure it out..but whatever I guess. atleast I know Im pregnant and thats all that matters but cant figure out why or how the date got so messed up especially when I know the date for sure. They told me that alot of times when you get your IUD taken out the first period messes with your ovulation days..and thats why sometimes its hard to plan right away when to get pregnant..and for us that do sometimes thats why we dont get the day right..we got pregnant later than what we thought. I would go ahead and make your appointment with your OB. Im sure everything is fine..but your just not as far along as you thought. The best thing is to wait til the 8 week mark and have the ultrasound to determine exactly how far along you are. GOODLUCK!!!
Unsure 2010-02-04 19:54:32
I had the Muriena IUD for almost three years and never had a period the entire time I had it. I currently have a daughter who will be 5 this year. Me and my boyfriend discussed having a baby once the new year started. So on December 16th I had my IUD removed. It was much eaiser then getting it put in, I didn't feel anything. The only thing was it took the docotor forever to find the strings. I thought this was what I wanted, but I didn't think it would happen for a while. I had a period for nine days, and three weeks later had a povtive pregancy test. I went online and did a due date calcuator off the first day I had a period, which put me about 5 weeks when I went to the hospital. I had some other isseus which was why I went but when they did the blood test the docotor said I was only two weeks? I don't understand if this was becuase of the long period but as of now I still dont' know how far along I am. The docotor wanted me to come back because she wanted to see if the pregancy took. But I did not go back figured I would talk with my OB which I haven't yet seen. I keep looking at early preg signs and I have them all, constipation, nausea, I am not really that tired but I di have a serious lack of energy, and tender breasts. Still no period, I am almost scared to go but I am sure if something was wrong I would of had a period by now. I am really unsure how normal this is becuase I didn't have a period for three years and it was a very long period? Can someone please tell me if they have ever been through anything like this? Or what should i do?

Hi ladies, my name is Bryony, i have just joined this site. I am slightly nervous, i have had 2 mirena coils in for the last 7 years and i am having it removed on Wednesday to start trying for my first baby with my partner of five years!! i am keen to get pregnant but unsure how quickly it will happen as i was not particularly fertile before i had the coil put in. Fingers crossed and good luck to all of you

Hello everyone!!! I had my IUD put in 3 1/2 years ago. I had my IUD removed on December 9,2009 and am trying to get pregnant. I took the ovulation test and I had sex the day before ovulation and the day of ovulation. Now I am going on 6 days late on my period and they are always right on time? I took 2 pregnancy tests and they are negative. This is so frustrating. Glad I found this site. It is really helpful. I am gonna wait a few more day and will post a update.
Bella 2010-02-01 22:29:37
All,
I am 11dpo I took a pt ( first response ) this morning and it came out negitive. My period is due on the 7th if I don't get it I will retest. I have admitt I am disappointed.
juliemitchell09 2010-02-01 22:10:33
UPDATE: Thanks Julieah79 for your post! I went back to Dr. on Friday (01/29/2010) and had more blood drawn. She had it rushed and it said Negative for HCG. I am actually kind of glad that it did though because I am ready to start over and see what happens this month or over the next few months! My ovulation should occur on or about 3rd or 4th of February so we'll see! I am hoping it will happen this time but if not I am gonna keep my head up! After all...we just started trying last month so we are at the very beginning of this journey! Thanks everyone for your tips and suggestions, they really help to ease my mind when I read them all! I will make sure that I update this thing when ever something new happens.

I read all these posts and decided not to insert IUD - I'm afraid to lose my fertility.. Girls, this time I'd like to ask you one question (sorry for the off topic) - maybe somebody has purchased this cellulite massager? (see the advertisement above). I'm thinking to buy it, but firstly want to get some opinions
Matthews_Mommy 2010-01-31 02:00:32
I had my iud removed november 16 after two years. I just took a test today and it came out positive. Best of Luck to everyone and dont give up
kenziesmomma23 2010-01-30 12:07:42
I have never been on here before but I have some questions. I got the mirena (IUD) in 2006 after the birth of my daughter. I didnt have a menstral any during the time I had the Mirena. I recently had it removed October 2009. I have only had 1 cycle and it lasted 5 days. It wasnt very heavy. I havent had one since and it has been almost 2 months. I have took Pt test but they all were negative and even went to the doctor. Has anyone else experienced this. Please reply.
Julieah79 2010-01-29 15:30:22
bella, I couldnt agree with you more! you could probably try one of those HPT that you can do 5 days before yous period is expected (but in your case..one you dont get..haha) If you do one..you'll have to let us know how it turns out..gooduck!
Bella 2010-01-29 11:08:11
All, I wish there was a way we could magically see what is going on inside of our bodies!!!!! I am 9 dpo, I am afraid to take a test. I am sure its too early. This is my first month trying, I will be disappointed but not discouraged.
juliemitchell09, I just wanna wish you luck!!!!
Julieah79 2010-01-29 03:36:18
JulieMitchell09 HI!!! isn't this site awesome? I love it Anyways.I was reading your situation and isn't it fun to try and figure all this out? haha I absolutely agree with your body trying to hide the pregnancy symptoms. I didnt notice it anmore with or without the IUD removed..but I agree it does. I was looking up blood pregnancy tests and it says they tell immediately if you are..within 7-12 days of conception..so if you ovulated the 5th&6th..you should of tested positive on the 18th if you were. Its weird but with this pregnancy (my 3rd and the only one I got pregnant off after having an IUD removed) for some reason the 4 HPT's I took all said negative..and I had even missed my period at the time..so I had to go for the blood test. But with my first 2 it would detect it at the earliest possible time it could. Kinda weird. I also had that one day of bleeding in there that lasted no time..at first I thought it was a normal period til I realized it wasn't normal to only last half a day. I wish our bodie were easier to understand but goodluck at your doctors appointment tomorrow. I will be looking forward to hearing what happens.
juliemitchell09 2010-01-28 22:03:23
BTW: sorry...my symptoms have been very tender and sore breasts/nipples, slight dull cramping in lower abdomen, nausea throughout the day but no vomiting yet, fatigue and absolute emotional breakdowns (lol) over the most ridiculous things! I have also had a slight feeling of cravings for specific food items but not too strong. Some of these I had with my last Pregnancy but some are new to me. My biggest dilemma is that some believe that a woman CANNOT show signs and symptoms of pregnancy right after conception but I believe that if a woman is really in tune with her body, she can. For most women that are trying to conceive, we are usually paying real close attention to what is going on inside of our bodies in hopes of a baby! Any thoughts on symptoms and how early they are possible? Could they be Psychosomatic for some women??
juliemitchell09 2010-01-28 21:53:02
Hello everyone! I am brand new to this site so please forgive me if I mess anything up while posting on here. I would like to ask anyone for some advice. Here is my current situation:
I had a Paragard Copper IUD placed in January 2005 and had it removed December 16, 2009 in order to try to have another child. I had HEAVY periods the entire time but never had one single cramp (during placement nor afterward) and had a very pleasant experience having it removed as well. My periods have always been extremely regular (every 29 days on the dot) and last not more than 5 days but usually 4 days. I had a period on November 27, 2009 and then had another period on December 24, 2009 (8 days after removal). The Dec. period was lighter flow than usual but that was expected after removal. It lasted 4 days and was fine, slightly crampier than usual but not too bad. My ovulation was expected around 5th or 6th of January 2010 and CM and BBT showed definitive signs of "O". My husband and I had unprotected sex both on that 5th and then again on 6th. I began having symptoms of pregnancy similar to those with my first pregnancy shortly after Ovulation. I did not want to take HPT's because I had HCG issues with my first. My body apparently does not produce high enough HCG levels to show on HPT's and I have to basically have Quantitative Blood Tests for determination of Pregnancy. I decided to do HPT and it came back negative. Went in to Dr. (01/18/2010) and had QBT - level 2 HCG - negative. The symptoms continued and still do to this day. My period was due on January 21, 2009 and did not come until two days later. At around 7am on 23rd my period started and was extremely uncomfortable and crampy. The very next morning, I removed tampon and noticed very minimal blood so I put a panty liner on. Nothing since then...no blood, blood-tinged discharge...NOTHING. I am wondering if it is still possible to be pregnant but that my blood test was taken way too early to determine? I refuse to take more HPT's because all that happens is I am left feeling down and out afterward. I have an appointment for tomorrow morning at 11:15am to have another blood test taken but I am wondering if anyone else has had a similar situation? Has anyone noticed that their bodies seem to "hide" pregnancy after IUD's? I have read that some women's bodies do this, specifically if you had the IUD in for a long period of time. I would greatly appreciate any advice or suggestions from anyone! Thanks in advance and to those of you whom are TTC - I wish you nothing but the best of luck!
Julieah79 2010-01-28 14:10:00
abad1 I'm sorry to hear that..but I guess keep in mind it sure is fun trying! so in that case I guess that means have fun on the 6th-9th. GOODLUCK!
adab1 2010-01-28 13:10:51
julieah79 Well it happened. I started bleeding Tuesday afternoon, so I guess its back to square one. Maybe all those feelings I had was my body getting adjusted to no longer having the IUD in it. My period is light, which is pretty normal for me. Now I just have to know my ovulation time again. Here we go again.
Julieah79 2010-01-26 21:19:11
adab1 well Im glad to hear you havent gotten it yet. I would take another one but only if you dont let the diappointmet of a negative get to you to much. I took 4 at home and all were negative..and I even went til I missed it so they definately don't always work. But like I said before, our stories are so alike. Those 2 days of bleeding Jan. 1st may not of even been a period (mine wasn't.) So whether you do another home one or wait til the 8th..GOODLUCK!! (btw..Im way to impatient of a person to wait..haha so I would probably go with another home one). I hate the feeling of thinking your periods coming..I still get the cramping like its coming today even though Im 8 weeks along.
adab1 2010-01-26 20:47:25
julieah79, No I still haven't had a period yet, although this week I felt like was going to have one, but as of today nothing yet. One thing that nurse did tell me is to take another hpt test on this past Sunday, but I didn't because I didn't want to get disappointed again. My breast aren't really sore, but I am feeling something, every once in a while throughout the day, I'll get a ping in them and they feel weird but not really sore. My second period came Jan 1st and lasted approx. 2 days, so the 1st is coming again, so I figured I would wait till after then and let the dr test me on the 8th. Would you do another before then, if you hadn't had your period this week?
Julieah79 2010-01-26 17:02:26
adab1 Hey just wondering if you are still without a period?? I got my fingers crossed for you
momof2 2010-01-24 18:56:18
hi all, i am new to this site and would really like your advice. i had my coil removed end of oct 2009. hd light bleed the following day. got periods on 12th dec, 4 days of heavy bleeding and went on the pill. got a tummy bug 25th that lasted til 30th dec and couldnt keep any food down. got my period again on 5th jan, light bleed for 2 days. heres my dilemma. i have been getting sick on and off since, usually in morning and evening. have done couple of hpt and all are negative. please help. could i be pregnant?
Bella 2010-01-23 10:53:09
Julieah Yeah, I had a positive ovulation test on the 20th and did it alot!!!! crossing my fingers and am now playing the waiting game.....as many of us our. Anxious
adab1 2010-01-22 16:44:33
I just had to share something that happened to me yesterday. I called my doctor to tell her about my situation of my bleeding and possible pregnancy so I could go in to confirm either way. The nurse I spoke to was so discouraging. She made me feel as if there was no hope for me at all, due to my age and all, she had zero compassion. I was almost in tears after speaking with her. But I also remembered that my Mom was 46 when she had me, and I had no issues when I had my son, so I holding on those positive things and hope for the best. I have a dr's appt. on the 8th, so I'll wait until then to find out if I have conceived for certain. I'll keep you posted.
Julieah79 2010-01-20 04:16:01
Bella... I looked back to when u said ur period started the 7th..soo the best day is today and tomorrow for you..make sure u do it tomorrow!! haha thats exactly how it worked for us..GOODLUCK!! =)
Bella 2010-01-19 02:52:26
Julieah79, I started the ovulation tests on the 15th and have done one everyday since and all have been negitive. hopefully it will happen soon. I have 3 boys and really wanna get pregnant soon with a girl. Hopefull Thinking, I know. I am happy it all happened so fast for you, your story gives others hope
Dmarie 2010-01-18 16:21:21
help i cant figure this one out. I had no period for three years while the marina was in. It was removed on the 7th I had bleeding the 9th -12th only heavy one day. Now i am spotting the 17th and 18th. Does anybody have any idea whats gong on?
shellybelly 2010-01-16 02:00:25
Julieah, I actually got this info on in-gender.com. It's a site devoted to information on gender swaying. I was going to try and sway for girl but got pregnant by accident 3 weeks after getting the mirena iud out.
Julieah79 2010-01-15 20:04:50
shellybelly that is interesting about the number of girls as opposed to boys..did you find that online? if so..what were the sites? I would be interested in reading them. I am SOOO hoping for a boy. So for we have 3 girls in the family and 2 boys..so the boys of the house say we need to even it out..haha so I guess we'll see when we reach 20 weeks or our ultrasound.
Julieah79 2010-01-15 19:58:11
adab1.... I would definately either wait til your appointment or just go in for a blood test. Ususally you can get your doctors to write you a lab slip without the appointment. That way you will know for sure. I took 3 at home tests that all came u negative when I am actually pregnant. One I took 2 early..and the other 2 I took a few days after missing my period..but it came up negative because that hormone just wasn't strong enough to be detected in a HPT. So the blood one came back positive last week and I'm only 4 1/2 weeks.. I sure hope you get some good news!!! =)
Julieah79 2010-01-15 19:53:48
Bella, I figured out I was ovulating the 15, 16, 17 & 18th.. (18th best the most fertile day..and the day we conceived on).. but you go 14 days from the first day of your last period..then back track 4 days.and those are the ovulating days..so make sure your ready for sex on that 14th day!! haha GOODLUCK!!!
adab1 2010-01-15 12:47:08
Hey Ladies, just curious if anyone that has conceived experienced this, it is now time for my period to come(week of the 12th), and I am feeling bloated and all that, however no blood, I get that hunger feeling like I'm pregnant so I did a pregnancy test but it came back negative. Did I do the test too soon? will it not show this early if I am pregnant? I have a dr.'s appointment on the 8th, I'm thinking of not doing another test until then so I can save myself the disappointment if I'm not. Has anyone experienced this?
Bella 2010-01-14 10:52:44
Julieah79, Thank you for sharing your knowledge and your support. Thank God! The good news is after 7 days the bleeding and clotting stopped. How do you know when you "O"?
SARAHDLOGAN12 2010-01-14 07:11:17
I JUST HAD IUD REMOVED ON JAN. 11TH. WERE TRYING FOR A BABY RIGHT AWAY. HOPEFULLY IT DOESN'T TAKE TOO LONG. I DON'T WANT TO GO INTO NEXT MONTH BECAUSE I DON'T WANT A BABY TOO CLOSE TO XMAS. WE'LL SEE. I SEE THE COMMENTS ABOUT STANDING ON YOU HEAD WELL MY HUSBAND IS 6 FOOT 5 AND HE PICKS ME UP AFTER SEX BY MY ANKLES AND SHAKES ME UPSIDE DOWN, HE SAID THE BOY SPERM SWIM FASTER THAT WAY. IT WORKED FOR US THE FIRST TIME WITH MY SON THATS 2 YEARS OLD. BUT I WANT A GIRL THIS TIME SO I HAVE TO FIGHT HIM AWAY. IT'S FUNNY HOW WE LAUGH ABOUT IT. BUT HE REALLY WANTS ANOTHER BOY, PROBABLY SO I DON'T SHOP LIKE CRAZY IF WE GET PREGNANT WITH A GIRL/
shellybelly 2010-01-13 07:04:52
Hey ladies, a question for all of you that are pregnant and know what the sex of your babies are. How many are having girls? I ask this because after a lot of research I found out that a lot more girls are conceived than boys to women who get pregnant right after getting an IUD removed. I am so hoping for a little girl and since I got pregnant 3 weeks after getting my mirena iud out I am praying that my chances have been increased. Thanks!
Dmarie 2010-01-11 15:46:40
hello, hubby changed his mind on the 8th after i have mine removed on the 7th. He said i think we should wait till you have a good period so we can count the days sure enough i state bleeding on the 9th. So now im wondering did we time it that good or is it from the removal. Thanks for the tip to count it as one.
Julieah79 2010-01-08 16:33:15
Bella, I started with the heavy bleeding and clotting 2 days after my removal (which was 2 weeks before I should of gotten it) and I also wondered the same..period or just norml bleeding after. So I called and asked..and you definately consider the heavy bleeding a period. Good Luck!! =) so make sure sex is in the plan the 20th and 21st!! haha
Bella 2010-01-08 09:02:23
I am not alone.... nice to find others going through the same thing. I had the Mirena in for 5 years and just had it removed on the 6th of january. Prior to having the IUD I had heavy periods, after I no longer had a period. Its the 7th and I started bleeding heavy and clotting. I don't know to consider this a period or not. I am currently trying to get pregnant and hate this waiting game.... period no period? pergnant not pregnant ? UGH! I wish you all ladies luck and know u are not alone.
jollybee 2010-01-07 22:41:33
hello ya'll.. i'm scared but excited at the same time..been trying to get pregnant for some time now but times never seemed right..been on the mirena for about a year now..just had it removed yesterday the 6th of Jan..i want to get pregnant so bad..my boyfriend and i have been trying so i guess we'll see..before the IUD was taken out we've had sex and most definitely right after the removal..since i don't really know the exact date of my last period this waiting thing kinda sucks..i hope to GOD i get pregnant..we would be soo happy..i know that most people get pregnant right away or they wait for a long time, so i 'm just hoping that i can be one of those happy people that get preggy right away..this baby will be the one to save my life..i'm trying to keep my fingers crossed..i hope that by some chance or miracle that i get pregnant before the month is over..i'll keep you guys posted to let ya'll know when my miracle happens..thanx
akeia1 2010-01-07 19:22:49
Hello everyone, I just had my mirena removed this morning and am hoping to concieve very soon! I am 27 with a 2, and a 3 year old and I would love to continue to expand my family. I had my IUD inserted Sept of 07, and had no complications with it. I continued to get my period, although it did get lighter and lighter as time went on. My last period just ended 2 days ago, but I'm not sure how long it will take me to become pregnant again.I can't wait to take that pregnancy test and read POSITIVE as the result, I will be sure to inform you all when that day comes...hopefully sooner then later!!
Dmarie 2010-01-07 16:34:04
Hello everyone. I have had my iud for 4 years i am going in today to have it removed. I have not had a cycle in three years. My husband and I have a different plan of when we want to get pregnant so we will see how this all works. (he thinks tomorrow would be good im thinking in a couple of months.) This site has been helpful to me because some of you have gotten pregnant rite away and others it has taken some time. Fyi the marina site says 80% get pregnant in 12 months after removal. I will keep you posted.
Julieah79 2010-01-07 15:10:58
adab1, That is exactly what I was thinking while I was reading your story!! well good luck to you
adab1 2010-01-07 05:54:54
Julieah79, I can't believe how closely related our stories are in regards to the time I had my Mirena taken out, and the period 2 days later, lasting 4 days and then another. My second period came on Jan. 1st for 2 and half not quite 3 days, however I don't know if I'm pregnant yet. I did have my IUD in for 6 years, I'll just wait and see. Congratulations to you!
Julieah79 2010-01-06 21:26:29
Well I have great news!! Like I said a few days ago when I first wrote on here..I got my IUD taken out Dec 2nd..started my period 2 days later on the 4th and just found out today with a blood test that Im pregnant!! I can't believe that happened SOOO fast!! Good Luck to everyone trying and I hope it happens soon!
aimee joy 2010-01-06 15:30:01
thanks eveyone for your advice. i can kinda relax now knowing it takes a couple of months for my body to adjust. im jus gona enjoy all the fun that goes with trying.. good luck ladies
shellybelly 2010-01-06 08:36:58
Hi everyone, just wanted to share my story I got my IUD removed on 12/7/09, started a very heavy period on 12/10/09 that lasted for 10 days. Had sex on the 21st and the 24th. Found out on Sunday 1/3/10 that I am pregnant. I took 4 different kinds of HPT's. Now I'm worried that I didn't give my body a chance to "recover" before getting pregnant.
Julieah79 2010-01-05 20:52:58
HI everyone!! I LOVE this site..its awesome! Just wondering if anyone can relate to this..I had my IUD in for 13 months (which that whole time I had a normal somewhat lighter regular period every month.) I had it removed Dec. 2nd (no bleeding that day) but 2 days later on the 4th I had a normal period that lasted 4 days but then on the 12th I started bleeding again and that lasted for only a day and a half!! So I guess I'm not sure what to think about that. We're trying for a baby and its hard if you dont know when to chart your days for ovulating if your not sure which was the normal period. So any other month I should of started on again on Jan. 1st..which I havent yet..but just wonderin if this all sounds normal?
nowack 2010-01-05 15:42:12
Hi everyone - I'm 38, have a 2 1/2 year old son and have had Mirena for slightly longer than 2 years. I'm going to remove it this Thursday so we can try again for another baby. My question is for anyone who has suffered from ovarian cysts since having the Mirena inserted. I never had a problem with those before and then I had one rupture on Fourth of July this past year. That's when I found out I have another cyst that my OB-GYN has been monitoring. She advised me it wouldn't hinder getting pregnant? Has anyone out there had similar problems and successfully gotten pregnant?
adab1 2010-01-04 06:05:09
Just an update from my last posting. After the removal of my IUD Dec 11, I had bleeding a couple days later, lasting about 4 days. Everything seemed normal until Friday, Jan 1st, I started bleeding again. I thought the first week of bleeding was a regular period, but I guess I was wrong. So I will starting my ovulation counting when this bleeding completely stops. Oh what we women have to go thru.
SaraWay 2010-01-04 03:53:30
Well...I posted yesterday about my situation...and my curiousity got the best of me. Bought a test today and took it...and it is POSITIVE. My first and only cycle after my IUD removal was almost 4 weeks after removal...had a light but normal for me cycle... I obviously got pregnant very easily after removal. I have to wonder though...what are the odds of twins after IUD? Anyone know?
livmo3 2010-01-04 00:52:11
Hi Willow and Aimee Joy I not sure if it the same for everyone but i got my first period 37 days after the removal of my IUD.....And never got a second. No spotting after the removal at all...although i was told you could have some. It was definaletly a normal period heavy at first the lighter over the next few days but it was the first period i had had in about 2 1/2 years. Am now about 8 weeks pregnant...all going well so far. I just dated ovulation from that period about 14 days later....and it worked. Keep Trying and be patient. GOOD LUCK!!!
aimee joy 2010-01-03 23:21:13
hey willow. hows things? reckon were being quite impatient lol.. id say give it a couple of months and c how things go! i was wondering the same question as you. good look

SaraWay 2010-01-02 21:19:50
I got my IUD removed early November... Had a normal period just after Thanksgiving... started monitoring my basal body temp...ovulated as expected on day 15...I have not had another period yet. Wondering if maybe I might be pregnant...We wanted to monitor my temp for a few months before really trying. So we were 'careful' during December...but 2 days before I ovulated we weren't as 'careful' as we should have been! hahaha! Anyway...don't know if maybe that ONE time made me pregnant...I should have had a period (if I am back to normal) right around Christmas... Time will tell...I'm kinda nervous to go buy a test and take it...gonna give it another week. Anyone have this same circumstance???
adab1 2009-12-17 05:14:59
Brace yourselves everyone. I am a 45 year old woman wanting to conceive one more time. I have a 7 year old son. I had the Mirena in for 6 years and I just had it removed last Thursday, December 10th, 2009. 2 days later I have been doing some light bleeding, at times heavy, then back to light. I don't know what is in store for me but, I will let nature take its course. I just recently got remarried to my soul mate, we were childhood sweethearts. We came to together again at 24 years old, lost touch, and found each other once again after 20+ years, this time we vowed to be together til death do us part. I feel for the first time in my life, I have found the love I only dreamt about, so it is only natural to want to pro-create with such a one. I have also wanted a sibling for my son, something that was taboo in my previous marriage. I want to see my children grow up with one another, have each other to love, and lean on when I'm long gone. I Thank God for giving me that opportunity to find love and hopefully be able to conceive one made from love. Keep me in your prayers and I'll keep you posted. Thx

My Iud actually fell out last night. I have had it for 2 yrs in Feb.I have had quite a few of the side effects as well...1st, i have never reeally had a "period" on it. it has just been 0o surprise ur period is here, 2 days later it was over...than about a day or two it would be back. Very wierd. And usually everytime after intercourse i would get some kind of period. Hair loss, depression, and moodiness, you name it i prob had it. So for about a week i have felt it slowly coming down and down and then last night it just kind of came out. I called the Dr. and they said no emergency, just make an appt. It didnt even hurt coming out. Me and my husband are thinking about another baby, wondering how fast can i become pregnant. Since my cycle has been out of wack from day one..i really dont know when i am ovulating so is it more likely to get pregnant right away or what is the best advice? Not sure. Thanks!

I had my iud put in feb this year since i had it ive had only about one period and spotted a few times, im wanting to have it removed and have another baby but im worried it will take forever, especially since it took along time to get pregnant with my first two, any thoughts?

I had my Mirena removed five weeks ago today and still no positive pregnancy test. I have taken several and my hubby and I have been actively trying.... at least every two days. I am hoping to get a positive soon! My sister-in-law had a positive 37 days from the time she had hers removed. We are hoping for the same luck. I didn't have a period the entire time I had the IUD... in fact, I had two. It has been six years since my last cycle. Hopefully that doesn't affect our chances.
Mrs. ApplsPchsPmknPi 2009-11-19 20:42:05
I have had 4 children 1 that I got pregnant on birth control, I had the Mirena IUD for 3 years and it's been out for the last past 2 years and I have not got pregnant!!!!! Almost the whole time on the Mirena I had spotting and periods. the very first period I had once getting off of the IUD was very heavy , Right now me and my husband is very sad because the only reason I got the IUD placed was to keep us from having kids until I finished college. Im on my last semester of college and still no baby!! I've been to the doctor they said no PIDs and I should have gotten pregnant right away however that is not true, I don't know what to do
mama3 2009-11-16 02:22:28
Hello, I had my IUD for 5 years, had it taken out 2 cycles ago and am now 4 wks 1 day pregnant! So far so good. I've been charting and my temps look good, no cramping or spotting, and HPT that are getting darker lines. I am scared because I've heard of some women having mc after but I pray that I'm not one of those.
livmo3 2009-11-15 08:49:06
Hi everyone just an update....Well i wasnt pregnant. But my period did finally arrive on Friday so at least i can try and accurately assess when i should be ovulating. Hopefully this'll work in the next month or so....fingers crossed.
Roerich 2009-11-12 05:42:59
Hello everyone. I just wanted y'all to know that I the Mirena for almost 3 yrs and I finially had it removed on OCT 5th. I am already pregnant 1 month later. Dont give up hope. What worked for me with this pregnancy and my last one was counting 14 days from the 1st day of my period. That was my fertility date. It worked twice now so good luck to you all trying and congrats to those who are expecting.
Livmo3 2009-11-04 12:31:09
This is my first time here.....I had my mirena IUD removed on 6th October. Had my mirena in for 2 1/2 years. Loved it ...never had a period the whole time i had it. But now that is a concern or so i'm guessing as my husband and I are trying for Baby number 4. (obviously a glutton for punishment. LOL). So now still no period and a -ve pregnacy test result. I wish the periods would just come now so i can try again....or maybe the tests just wrong...I'm not sure. Keep you all updated. Has anyone else had this issue.
sariahsmudda 2009-10-31 22:07:46
So hey everyone it's me again I just wanted to let everyone know that all the syptoms I was haveing were pregnancy signs, so I did get pregnant because my IUD was out of place. I am just hopeing now for a happy healthy pregnancy and baby. They said everything should go well because I had a period each month so my uterus lining should be A ok .
KIMBERLY 2009-10-13 08:06:22
Just thought I'd write and tell the other ladies that are having symptoms of being pregnant and not feeling well that its probably just your body trying to go back to normal. I was told that it takes a few months for the hormones from the IUD to completely get out of your body. I know what you are going through, Ive been through it lol. Its been 5 months since Ive had my mirena IUD removed and Im just now feeling normal. Ive finally had a regular period although its a very very heavy flow. Hopefully after this one I will get prego ;-) I was also told that it takes a few periods for your uterus lining to build back up from the IUD being there. Hope this helps ladies. Wish you all the best in ttc! ;-) I still have my fingers crossed that I will be prego soon too!
sariahsmudda 2009-10-11 22:20:14
Hi just two weeks ago I had my IUD removed because it was out of place, I have been haveing problems for the past two months but the doctors didnt ever check to see if that could be the problem. After the doctor removed it he said he was surprised that I wasn't pregnant, we took a test but it came out negative I have alot of the same symptoms that I had with my daughter but not sure whats going on. Since haveing it removed my husband and I have decided to have another child wether I am pregnant or not. Is it true that the Mirena can cause a negative pregnancy test if you are pregnant. I'm haveing definate symptoms. siactic nerve pain, cramping,hunger, tired. '
giajace13 2009-10-08 21:02:53
I had my copper iud removd on sept.7 and i had my last period on sept.1. I have not had my period since, I'm wondering if this is normal. I took a preg test on oct.7 it was negative. My breasts are sore and i feel nausiated but no signs of period coming. Some please give me some input thank you
ellies349 2009-10-06 03:12:18
I had my IUD removed August 24. It is September 5th and I have been nautious for 3 days and am sensitive to smells. My husband thinks I might be pregnant but isn't it too soon. All I know is nothing worse then being sick to your stomach and not know why?
KIMBERLY 2009-09-30 07:28:33
I finally had my period around the 16th of sept. although it wasnt very heavy, it was more like spotting but it lasted for 5 days. As I posted before I had my mirena IUD taken out May 14th. Ive had several negative pregnancy test and have felt horrible. Im finally feeling normal again lol. Me and the hubby have been ttc from day 1 of the removal, hopefully it will happen soon! I have a 11 year old daughter from my first marriage and I my 32nd Bday is just around the corner, I need and want this to happen ASAP! ;-) My wonderful hubby deserves to have a child of his own, eventhough he does consider my daughter his. Thanks for listening ;-)
samsmom03 2009-09-25 19:27:54
I also had the IUD and I got it taken out in June, It's now Sept 25th and I been trying to get preggo ever since. I have a 6yr old boy and would love for him to have a brother or sister. So will keep trying for a little one.
BethE713 2009-09-23 23:16:05
I am so sorry to hear that. I just got my merina removed last Wednesday. my husband and i are trying to have another baby. We started the night i got it removed. my doctor said we could concive right away. i wish they would have said to wait so the uterine lining could thicken. well we will see. i had spotting a couple days afterward. now i have tender breast and pee all the time. i can't take a home test untill next week. i want to pregnant but might be hoping to soon. i just want everything to be alright! we already have a 7 year old daughter and a 5 year old son. i will keep you posted!
mommyof2, 2009-09-23 00:08:42
Well, Not good news, I had a miscarriage! I honestly think that I should've waited at least a month before I tried to conceive, because my uterine lining would've been thicker. My doc thinks that implantation was an issue, and he also said that this happens to about 25% of women after IUD removal!! Hello?! These facts would've been helpful before going through all of this!! Anyway, he said I can try again after my next cycle comes, which is around 4 weeks..... So we'll see!
mommyof2, 2009-09-15 22:12:12
Hello my name is Elizabeth, I am a mother of 2 children, 7 and 5 years of age. I had Mirena in for 5 years and had it taken out on the 17th of August, On Sept. 10, 11, and 13th, I took pregnancy tests and they all came back positive!! I have to contact my doctor to see if it's for real, but it sure feels it because my breasts are sore, and I'm very tired! I'll keep you updated!
mommyof0304 2009-09-14 01:27:48
I had my Mirena IUD removed on August 13th 2009, I had it in for 5 yrs. I never had a cycle while it was in place.Ever since I had it out, I haven't been feeling the greatest, and have been having pregnancy like symptoms, but been getting negative pg tests. As of yesterday and today (9-12&9-13) I"ve gotten 2 positive pregnancy tests!!! I will be calling my dr tomorrow to see if it's for real!! We're excited!!!!!!!!!
futuremrssantora 2009-09-13 04:10:56
I am getting married soon and have had my iud for 4 years. Just wondering how much in advance I should have it taken out to get pregnant on my honeymoon. Any ideas???
pologrl 2009-09-09 06:00:46
I just had my Mirena IUD removed on August 5th after having it for 3 years. Have 2 daughters ages 7 and 3- both conceived on the pill :-). Never had periods the whole time I had the IUD. I had spotting and then bleeding that lasted from the 6th til about the 13th after removal. I haven't had a period since, but feel crampy on my left side for the last week, also feel bloated all the time! I had unprotected sex several times with my husband from the 13th til now, and took 2 pregnancy tests in the last week, and both came back negative. I was supposed to get my next period Sept 4th, going by a 28 day cycle- that would make me about 4 days late. That's IF that is when I was supposed to get my period! Not sure if it will take a while to get my body back in cycle for regular periods or if I really am pregnant! I just wish I would either get a period or a positive pregnancy test so at least I can either try round 2 or be on my way!! Anyone else have this similar experience after IUD removal?
KIMBERLY 2009-09-03 00:05:55
I was wondering how long it will take for my period to return after having my IUD removed? I had the Mirena IUD for 4 years and the entire time never once had a period. I had it removed on May 14, 2009, I had a little spotting for 3 days after but nothing since. We are ttc and so far nothing has happened, Im starting to get worried. Any and all thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated ;-)
twinsn1 2009-07-27 15:44:33
I can't believe that everyone had so many side effects with Merina. I just removed mine last night. Yes, I removed it. I was checking for the strings and pulled slightly to make sure the were still there and it just came out. No pain, no bleeding and best of all no cramping. I had it in for 3 years, my daughter is 3 1/2 and it was great. No pain, no periods and no cramping. Within the last year or so some spotting, but not even enough to use more than a couple of panty liners. I did have an appointment to get it removed next month, due to my husband hinting away at wanting another child. But think I will go to dr anyway, just to check things out. I loved merina and will use it again.
lburgos29 2009-07-14 06:37:11
Hello all, I am hear seeking some advise, it's been 7 months since I had my mirena removed and still no baby, I'm starting to get concerned but the question is, Should I be ? My doctor said it's safer to wait 2 to 3 months after having the iud removed before trying to concieve, but it's now 7 months later, any suggestions anyone...
Belle 2009-07-08 05:36:10
Hello ladies, I just wanted to share some information I was reading which is supposed to help in conceiving. First of all research suggests that taking two teaspoons of Robutussin 3 times a day starting 5 days before ovulation and then 2 days after improves cervical mucus which helps the sperm reach the egg. Another interesting info that I read was that sexual intercourse in the rear entry position is also helpful since it deposits the sperm closer to its target. Also one that you all may know is to lay on your back with a pillow under the top part of your leg for about 15 minutes after intercourse is also helpful to the sperm. I read this information on the book written by Dr. Shettles. Anyways good luck to you all. Hope this helps!
Belle 2009-07-04 05:07:03
Hello Ladies, I wanted to update you all on my progress. Its now been a month since i had my mirena removed. I did not get my period on the 28th 30th or 32nd day. The point is I have not had my period since I removed my iud and I also feel no pregnancy symptoms whatsoever. Therefor i have not done a pregnancy test as I dont want to get discouraged. I am planning to wait at least one more month to see if i get a period if not then i will try a pregnancy test or give the doctor a call. As this is not normal for me since my periods have always been very regular and predictable. I believe the iud has altered my periods.
MsLadyB 2009-06-15 08:37:20
Hi everyone im new and ineed of advice. I didnt have a period for 4 yrs due to adhesions (scar tissue) on my uterus after an abortion, they placed a copper iud in my uterus nov 17 07 ( surgicaly) to build back my uterine lining. While i had the iud i experienced some of the worst pains imaginable to man, first off i've never had children and im 25yrs old. i didnt know what contractions and/or dilation felt like, now i know & i wish it on noone (not every month anyhow). My fertility doctor explained that i felt this because i was on an extremely high dose of premarin (estrogen steroids) and i was taking pro-vera (opposite to depro-pro-vera) to enforce my period. I never bled heavy always light and short, but i was happy to see a period PERIOD! I kept the iud in for a yr as my fertility doctor recommended, had it removed May 29 09. Now i know its only been a short period of time, but my breasts are so tender. For my t-shirt to touch my nipple its tender. I feel like i got implants except nothing grew. Is this normal? its only been 2 weeks.. I was on my last day of pro-vera the day my iud was extracted, so my period was to come in a few days time....It never came, i bled lightly after the iud was removed for 3 days. Had the worst cramps for about 4 days after taking the iud out.... All the messages i read on here were extremely helpful except i dont know if any of it applies to me cause my case is sooo different. I never installed the iud to prevent pregnancy, i actually got it so i could get pregnant, seperate my walls with the copper T and take estrogen to build back my walls. Now i dont know if i can get pregnant at all.. I haven't even had a period since the removal of my iud. So all these feelings are like new to me again, i don't know whats what. My stomach feels swollen, and my breast are extremely tender....is it to soon to be pregnant? or is this just my hormones leveling out? Is there anyone out there with a unique/similar story like mines that can give me some helpful advice???
lisa09 2009-06-14 22:49:08
hi belle hope all goes well with ttc nice to find a site that women r able to come onto to talk about there experiences and give advice so far its been 7 1/2 weeks since my mirena coil came out , and last week thought great am taking bad back pains so hopefully periods will be returning to normal tho turnd out just to be light spottin for a couple of days and then went away, has anyone else has this happening to them
Belle 2009-06-14 17:56:03
Lisa09 it is nice to know I'm not the only one that had the iud removed with anesthesia. Since I was feeling as if something was wrong and maybe the doctor wasnt clear with me. I think it will be alright since I have many friends that had theirs moved and needed to have it removed and they were able to conceive soon after. I'm still just waiting to either get my first real period and track ovulation, or to feel pregnancy symptoms. Whatever the case is we are just going to be patient and not just focuse on trying to conceive but on enjoying the moment. Good luck to all of you who are ttc and to those that are pregnant I hope to join the club soon.
lisa09 2009-06-07 20:37:23
hi belle was just readin your story mine went the same , went to family planning clinic to get mine remove tho went threw pain they couldnt find the strings so they referred me to hospital , when i went to see doc he couldnt remove it either so had to go under an anaesthetic to get it removed, had bleeding for a bit after tho havent had nothin since , i am tryin for anotha child just hopin fertility goes back to normal , hope all works out for u
Belle 2009-06-04 05:40:29
Hello Everyone, I just got my iud removed a week ago and we are hoping to get pregnant (hopefully soon). My experience with the iud was very unpleasant. The doctor was not able to remove it on the first try. He told me from the begimming that the strings had moved up making the removal complicated. I went through horrible pain when he was attempting to remove it. The doctor decided to stop trying and scheduled me to have it removed with general anesthesia. Personally the iud for me was not fun from the start. I always had cramping even when I wasn't menstruating. My period did remain normal month to month. I am now wondering if I made the right choice when I chose the iud. Definetly I wont use it again. Hopefully we conceive soon and y worries will turn into happiness and excitment.
lisa09 2009-06-01 21:34:53
thank god for findin this website i had my mirena coil remove in april after havin it in for five years, my partner and i decided to give it a try for another child so am hopin all fertility will return to normal soon, i had bleeding after i got it removed for 5 days but since then 5 weeks later thought i mite of had a period by now tho nothing yet wud be greatful to know if anyone else has had problems lyk this, many thank
Bella7 2009-06-01 18:08:45
Hi Webbie.emma, Reading your comment made me think of myself! I had my IUD removed the end of October. However, I did have a long and heavy period afterwards. I wasn't even sure when I ovulated but, I still kept counting down the days for my next period. My breast were so heavy and achy but, I was cramping especially on my left side. I thought my ovary was going to burst. But, my breast were extremely sore and I was really tired (I could fall asleep anywhere!) but, the pregnancy test kept coming up negative or the line was tooooo light so, finally 5 days after I was late I decided to buy a pregnancy test that was "dummy" proof... it read "pregnant" or "not pregnant" and sure enough .... I was pregnant. My body was not producing enough estrogen and that's why the other test were hard to read in addition, my body was not responding well to the pregnancy so I was on estrogen pills for the first 2 months of my pregnancy. I had 3 ultrasound before I was even 18 weeks to monitor the baby's growth and development. During the last ultrasound at 18 weeks we were told it is a Girl! You figure she's already being a pain in the butt... LOL. I have an 8yr. and 9yr. boys at home. I have a feeling it will be ackward to have a girl in the house since I am so used to being the bossy wife/mom. Good luck and please keep me posted. I am due August 12th.
HallesMomma 2009-05-25 08:43:09
I have had the Paragaurd 2x...the first time was for about 2 years and it only took 4 months to get pregnant after removal...I have now had another one in for almost 2 and a half years and love it. I have never had any complications with it and my periods are normal to light. We are planning on getting the 2nd one removed at the end of July to start trying again so we are hoping it will take about the same amount of time to get pregnant. I have recommended IUDs to all my friends/family members who are interested in birth control. My sister-in-law and two friends have received one in the past year and like them but I believe my sister-in-law said the only thing about hers is that her periods seem a little more heavy and she cramps more. Other than that I personally have not heard any complaints and do not have any of my own. I am planning on getting a Paragaurd in every 10 years instead of tying my tubes. We are only planning on two but I want to have the option to have more and after hearing from older family members I feel that getting an IUD every 10 years is the option for me. With insurance or without they are worth it. LOVE THEM!!!
webbie.emma 2009-05-21 12:55:36
hi, i'm new to this site and need advice. i have 3 sons and had my iud out about a month ago so that we could start trying again, i had the hormone free iud with no bleeding after it was removed, i was due to ovulate about a week after removal ,since then i have had signs that have made me think i could be pregnant but i have done a few tests which all say negative, i am now at least 4 days late with big heavy , tender breasts but no sign of a period ! i had period pain type cramps around the time an egg would have implanted had i concieved . i'm frustrated at waiting for something to happen even if it is a period at least we could start round 2 then ! my 3 boys were all concieved within 2 weeks of stopping the contraceptive pill. my friend says both her girls didn't show up on pregnancy tests , has anyone heard of that before , surely there would be enough hormones to sustain the pregnancies to show on a test ? help !!!!! advice please !
Bella7 2009-05-13 21:40:21
Hello everyone just checking in... So today I official enter my last trimester. Wow, 6 months flew by pretty fast! Overall, I am feeling well and my baby girl is moving around....alot! There has been some tough times but, I believe we are going to be okay with God's will.
maya 2009-05-12 04:05:52
I had a copper IUD for 3 years and had it removed a few days after ovulating because we want to get pregnant.What are the chances of getting pregnant? My period is due in five days and I already have the usual PMS symptoms.
tobe 2009-04-15 01:59:05
I am soooooooooooo glad I found this site. I too had a paraguard IUD removed but after being in for 10 years. It was a wonderful form a birth control. My husband and I have decided to expand our family and I am wondering how long it will take to conceive. I had it removed on February 25, 2009, the third day of my cycle. I have noticed that I have been having very strong ovulation signs since having my iud removed. I never had sore breast, sensitivity to smell or cramping when I ovulated before or had any pms symptons. I have also been feeling sick to my stomach since having it removed. I had a two day period in March on the 25, and 26 and it was dark dark red. I took a preganancy test at my doctor 's office and it was negative so I do not know what is going on with my body. I believe I just ovulated last week, my breast are STILL very very sore so I have my fingers crossed. Has anyone else noticed stronger ovulation signs after having IUD removed?
rclark 2009-04-14 18:55:11
I had the marina for 2 yrs and had it removed on 1/20/09 and have had a normal period every 28 days and still no baby. We already have one child and we didn't have any issues getting prego the first time but now I am starting to worry.
joshiesmommy 2009-03-31 20:40:53
Miss Rosie I am pregnant. I had the copper IUD for almost two years. It took my husband and I about two months to get pregnant. And now I am 9 weeks and 3 days. I havent had any trouble other then morning sickness and tiredness, which most women would get with a normal pregnancy anyway. But one thing you must remember is that every woman is different. Many women have trouble getting prego that havent had the IUD. You will be different then me, then any women on here. Take it day by day and enjoy life.
rosie 2009-03-25 06:47:18
hi i am 20 years old and have had my iud for about a year and a half.. i am reading alot of stories about women not being able to have kids after removal of their iud and i am now having panic attacks about it.. are there any women who have been able to get pregnant after removal so my mind can be put at ease atleast alittle bit
Bella7 2009-03-20 23:05:00
Hi everyone! Well it's been sometime I didn't check in but, the first 3 months were terrible between scares, morning sickness, aches and pains. However, the last few weeks have been much better. I've felt the baby move here and there but, GREAT NEW on Monday I had my ultrasound and It's a Girl! Plus, yesterday I had a follow-up visit with my doctor and she stated my baby is growing healthy and there is no need to worry anymore. I am very happy to visually see and hear my baby is doing good. The due date still stands, Aug 12th. I pray everything continues well with God will. I'll continue to keep everyone posted. Hang in there ladies and have fait... your bundle of joy will be "cooking in the oven" soon.
joshiesmommy 2009-02-24 20:33:10
Well IM PREGNANT!! YAY! We only tried for 2 months after I got my IUD out so it is possible! I had the copper IUD insterted after the birth of my first son (who will now be a big brother!) 2 years ago. I hated it the whole time. Crampy bleeding ect... When I got it taken out I was just going to switch birth control but my husband finally agreed to have another baby. So I called my OB/GYN and she said it was fine to start trying right away. And 2 months later I am 4 weeks pregnant. Just keep trying girls, relax and it will happen for you too.
jdickinson 2009-02-15 20:46:55
Hi everyone, I first got my IUC (Mirena) March 2006 after my second child I am 23 years old. Growing up my periods were always light and unpredictable never regular not even on the pill or shot. With in the first month of getting the Mirena I had some spotting but soon after it cleared and I never had it again I never spotted or had any bleeding from then on. I got it taken out on Dec 25 2008, and I am around 6 weeks Pregnant with our 3rd YEAH! I think the Mirena is great it worked for me, I think just like with most things it just depends on your body and how it deals with change and so on. I have 2 friends who recently got the Mirena place in the 6 or 7 months and one loves it she had a little cramping the first month or two but now doesn't have any cramping and her periods have subsided completely, my other friend bless her heart is miserable she hates it, she spots continuously, gets cramps all the time has had several infections just from her body rejecting it. So my advice would be if it doesn't work get it out try something else, everyone is different. Well best of luck to everyone TTC.

mamamea2 2009-02-05 07:42:06
i had my iuc (marina) removed december 11th. dr. put me on folic acid and told me and the mr. to use a condom for at least a month. it is now feb 5th, and on feb 3rd i had a + hpt! we are 4wks 4 days... and i couldn't be more excited.
we just let the good times roll... i took the folic acid and forgot about wanting another baby and it happened...
i had a horrible experience with marina, and i would not wish it on anyone... from day one i had problems that i could never see as "normal". i was bleeding regularly until 7 months after placement (which the dr. told me was normal)followed by horrible cramps and back pains followed by 3 more weeks of bleeding.... glad i got that removed!
just relax and have fun with the baby makin! it will happen.

It's been over a monthing now since my IUD has been removed. Not pregnant yet. My husband actually went back on his wanting another baby. I told me that I needed to go back on birth control. I refused. Needless to say it has been very stressfull on our marriage. We really had it out one night. The only reason he didnt want another child is because of the work that goes along with it... less money, no sleep for a year, baby food, diapers.... I was really upset about this. My reason for wanting another baby was in no way selfish. I want to have another baby for my first son. I believe that we are here to be his parents and give him everything we possible can for life expirences. To take away the opportunity to have that sibling relationship, just because we are lazy is not right. At all. I want my son to have some one to play with, someone to share expirences and memories with, and especially someone to get into trouble with. I told my husband this repeatedly. First he said I wanted to get pregnant for "instant gratification"... And after he slept on the couch a couple of nights, I tried again. Finally! After 2 weeks of this, he agreed to have another baby. "not for you but for josh". If that helps him agree to it then thats fine. It's about that time to start trying again. Wish me luck girls!

As of 11am today 1/29/09 I had my Paragard Copper IUD removed, I can't say it was the most pleasant experience with it in but, I don't have anymore children except my one beautiful 4 year old girl. Her father and I actually seperated, I got into a serious relationship shortly after that, I almost got it removed but I was unsure, later on that relationship flopped, I'm now married to a wonderful man in our united states military. Family means everything to him and since we got married we've been discussing children, before we got married we were but I made it loud and clear the IUD has worked so far, it's not being removed until we are 100 percent certain we want more children. Today was the soonest we could get the appointment and we scheduled it a few weeks ago, we are both extremely excited and eager to see how long it will take me to get pregnant so we both have our fingers crossed. As for when I had the IUD in, I never had a problem with any type of possible pregnancies I did however have it almost fall out in the beginning they also had to trim the string a little, I wound up having horrible cramps for the first couple years of it being in, when I told my doctor she told me to take tylenol and drink lots of water it would subside after a little bit... I did have longer heavier periods which can get annoying and sometimes I just got pain for no reason, the doctor told me it was ok... I had my copper IUD in since November of 04 and it like I said up top is 1/29/09 so we will see how long it takes me to get pregnant.

Hi Girls, It's January 7th and I am now 8 weeks pregnant. I had my share of scares because my doctor thought the fetus was growing in a tube because of sharp lower ab pain on my left side but, Dec. 10th I had an ultrasound and my baby is in the uterus however, my progesterone levels were extremely low and it appeared my body was trying to miscarry the fetus so, I was put on 200mg of progesterone per day. On Dec. 29th I followed up with the doctor to once again check the baby via ultrasound depending on the outcome there was a possibility we would have to terminate the pregnancy. The ultrasound showed a growing baby with a strong heart beat! So, my next appt is Jan. 15th. I absolutely love my doctor and his midwife team in Hinsdale, IL. His name is Dr. Daube and the midwives are Beth and Penny. I live about 1 hours away from the office office and take the drive because they are worth every minute and more of my drive. Beth delivered both of my boys and I will follow her where ever she goes. I am really excited and we expect our bundle of joy Aug 12th. As for my boys they are estatic. I was afraid of starting all over again because my oldest will be 10 and my baby will be 8 by the time this one is born. Both of my boys are being very supportive and understanding. oh yeah, I forgot to mention I have morning, afternoon and evening sickness that started about a week ago and it's driving up the wall. I didn't feel "morning sickness" with either of my boys so it's new for me. I will continue to keep you posted. Ale try to sit and really think of the life style you have and if your heart is really not 100% sure then, maybe you should wait until YOU know it's time. I had the IUD in for 4 years because I wanted to accomplish things in life I didn't get to accomplish because I had both of my children at a young age. About a year ago I had been talking to my husband and telling him I was ready for another baby but, he insisted we wait. Then, in October 08 he decided he was ready if I still was... in a heart beat I scheduled the appt to have the IUD removed. Like I said before right now I am grateful my kids are older because it's the best thing ever to really see them happy and enjoying the pregnancy too. After all, the pregnancy will effect everyone not just you. I wish you the best of luck and keep me posted.

joshiesmommy 2008-12-23 19:18:01
I just had my IUD removed after 2 years. I hated it the whole time. I was bleeding for over 7 days. Was very heavy and crampy the whole time. But couldnt really switch BC because I was breastfeeding my first son. He is now 2! I have been begging my husband for a second child all of the last year. After I had my iud removed I was just going to switch BC. But my husband finally said yes to another baby! So we are going to start trying for a baby girl. Sadly my period started this morning. (heavy, crampy, ) I am encouraged about conceiving by listening to all of your sucess stories. My little boy was deffinity an OOPS! Although I was on birth control at the time, Depo shot.... My pregnancy was wonderful. I loved being pregnant. And after 44 hours of labor out popped my beautiful wonderful little baby. I cant wait to go through all of that again! Thanks to everyone here for posting all your wonderful stories. Hopefully I will have something to post soon!

I had a copper iud for 5 years after the birth of my 3 children and my husband and i decide to have another baby before i actually tie, clip and burn my tubes... or perhaps donate them if at all possible . My Dr. removed my IUD on 11/28/08 on the day i began my ovulation. The Dr. advised me i can began concieving when i stop the light bleeding from the IUD removal for which that was the same day so I waited until 11/29/08 and knew I may have gotten pregnant then but when I took a home pregnancy test on 12/07/08 it was neg...my menstrual was not due again until 12/17/08. I took another test on 12/15/08 and it's positive. my appointment for the ultrasound is 12/29/08..I can't wait. I said all this to say I am 32 years old now but back when I got the IUD i did my research throughly because i knew we may want another baby someday. I chose the COOPER IUD because it was for 10years and no hormones, so my menstrual was still normal ontime but I bleed heavier and i still ovulated but didn't worry of conceieving because the IUD blocked the sperm from reaching the eggs. I believe with the Mirena(5years w/hormones) you mind as well take birth control pills because its the same after effect of hormones. ANY IUD can be removed before its actually time allocated so Altering your hormones in any way will affect conceiving alot worst than normal. I was informed by 3 different specialist before my first birth that i was infertile and i did not stop with different infertility specialist until i got the answer i was looking for. All my children are well and healthy and my pregnancies were too. For those of you having second thoughts because of trying don't give up go get more dr. opinions until you get to one that is willing to step up and help more so than making the money. I am blessed for Dr. Suresh Thani. I couldn't have asked for a better OB/GYN. Also so one stated after there menstrual they will wait 14 days to ovulate and that is incorrect... they whole idea of this is when you menstrual come that is the 1st day and keep counting until the 14th and 15th day whether you are still on you menstrual or not. It's not the 14th day after your menstrual stop.

I wanted to take a pregnancy test on Wednesday so, I could hopefully know if I was pregnant or not and if so, I could give the news to our family on Thanksgiving but, my husband is afraid I will not get the result that I want and asked me not to take it. He says we should just be patient and find out "natually" ... what ever that means. I did, I waited the weekend and with my breast being so tender and now I have gotten these cramps along my lower ab I was not sure if it was my period or a growing baby. Okay let me get to the point. I took 2 pregnancy test last night. I purchased First Respose and one line was really dark and the other was really light almost invisible. So, of course I couldn't sleep last night wondering if it was a positive or a negative so, today after work I stopped by and purchased and E.P.T the type that spell out "Not Pregnant" or "Pregnant" that way I wouldn't have to guess at the little lines and...... I'm Pregnant!! I haven't even told my husband I am trying to think of a way to break the happy news to him so we can then tell my boys. The reason I'm sitting here typing away my good news is because I surfed the internet and visited lots of websites trying to find answers or blog about the IUD when I had it inserted 4 years ago then, the removal and now trying to concieve and this was the best blog ever. I will continue to post and keep you guys updated. Please keep me in your prayers
Bella7 2008-11-22 23:33:50
Here we are November 22nd and my breast have been really tender and achy for a couple of day now. I did take a pregnancy test this morning but, it was negative. I think I am just going to wait until the end of the month and see if I get a period. Maybe it's too soon but, we are so eager for the good news and it just seems like every day is in slow motion. My husband says "let it be and relax" but, it's easier said than done. I was suppose to get my period today. However, I did bleed for 15 days after my IUD was removed so, i'm not sure anymore when i'm suppose to get my period.
bklyn0630 2008-11-15 16:12:47
i had my mirena iud removed yesterday. i had gotten my period for the first time on thursday since having my iud inserted in 1/27/08. sine having it, i've only spotted here and there. thursday, i had a actual period. since i had my peiod when removing it, does that mean i should be ovulation in about 14 days? my period was like clockwork before having the iud and the dr said i should go back to the way i was before. i'm really nervous cause i wanna get pregnant and i'm terrified cause i hear so many people saying they had to wait months for it to happen.
Bella7 2008-11-13 22:01:52
I had my IUD in for 4 years and ocassionally had spotting as monthly periods. The IUD was removed October 23rd and I started light bleeding on the 25th which continued until November 9th between heavy bleeding with clots to light bleeding. The removal was a breeze and in my opinion comparable to a PAP Smear. I had a light egg white consistancy discharge November 10th & 11th. My husband and I have been working overtime since the 9th to conceive our 3rd and last baby with God's will. I will continue to post and I hope I have good news soon.
THARTZ1 2008-11-13 20:14:34
I had my Mirena IUD taken out Sept.29th, 2008 after having it for 5 1/2 years. I never had one period in those 5 years. After removal I spotted for about a week. I was waiting to get my period for the first time after removal and it never came. On 11/7/08 I took a pregnancy test and found out I am 4 weeks pregnant. I didnt think it could possibbly happen this soon but definetly HAPPY to be having my second child. There is hope for pregnancy after IUD Removal!!!!! Good Luck!!!!
dmw4022 2008-11-11 16:53:30
I wish I had all the answers for you guys.... all I can do is share my personal experience. I'm 37 and had Mirena for the full 5 years. The Mirena was removed in mid May of 08' and about 2 1/2 weeks later, I got pregnant! Sadly, I lost the pregnancy at 13 weeks. We have absolutely no idea as to why I had a miscarriage - my 2 previous pregnancies were successful although I was much younger at those times. I have been told by a family member that when you have your IUD removed, you should go through a couple of menstrual cycles prior to trying to become pregnant, especially when you are in your late 30's. Since the IUD didn't allow me to have periods for 5 years, I guess my body needed to get back to normal so to speak prior to becoming pregnant. Another idea is that maybe my uterus didn't adjust well to immediate pregnancy and recovering from IUD removal all at the same time. Almost from the time that we conceived to the time I found out we lost the baby, I had a lot of uterine cramping. My advice is to wait a couple of months before TTC. I did not ask my doctor about this so I don't know how much truth there is to that however, it makes sense to me. We are TTC again and hoping/praying that all works out this time. Best of luck to all of you and yes, you can get pregnant after an IUD removal!
3babyboys 2008-10-26 16:20:58
I will be having my Paragard IUD removed in the near future so I can start trying to conceive again. I'm very fertile (had twins naturally) so I'm hopeful there won't be any issues and I'm as lucky as some of you on here!!
nc1977 2008-06-19 02:17:29
I have a hard time believing the Copper Coil leads to infertility UNLESS it's not inserted properly. I had mine in for 5+ years (right after my 1st child was born) because I didn't want the hormones from the Mirena. Worked like a charm. Crampier, but I'd been on the pill before my child, so my cramps were muted before. We decided we wanted another baby, to space at the least 6 years apart. I was at my doctor to have it removed, coincidentally the 1st day of my period. I waited 1 cycle to "cleanse" (that period, + 1 more). Even with my IUD, my cycles are textbook 28-29 days, never fail. Since I knew when I would ovulate, we knew when to try, and were very busy that month ... 9 dpo I had a positive on the 50 mlu test. 7 weeks now. I highly believe to really "knowing" how to conceive helps... the time window before ovulation to start trying, up until ovulation. I wasn't aware until I did my research how misinformed I was, since my first was an "oops" (e.g. sex BEFORE ovulation can get me pregnant??). Also, the more sex the better. There's no such thing as too many sperm!!! One more thing-- if it's been a while since the previous child, MEN'S hardware can change, too. Perhaps a semen analysis would be good? That way the focus can definately be on the woman if it checks out ok. Good luck to everyone.
malala1977 2008-04-18 11:30:05
I am 30 and my hubby is 48. He didn't want anymore kids cos he thought he was too old and also has 3 kids from a previous marriage. So with my second son this gives him four kids. As I'm much younger than him I always knew I would want to try for a girl as I have 2 boys. It took alot of convincing for me to do. After months of talking about it and asking him to take me seriously, I explained my feelings to him. He was most put off by the idea not only because of his age, but also because I suffered from severe Hyper-emesis with both my previous pregnacies too! With my last pregnancy I considered termination because I was just so ill. I couldn't get out of bed for 4 months literally! In and out of hospital every two minutes. My hubby was left to look after my son from my previous marriage who had just start his first year of school, as welll as having to go to work everyday he also had to pick Jordan up from school, then come home and do the cooking, cleaning, ironing etc..... I was lucky to get through the first stage of pregnancy. When I got to 4 months the sickness wore off enough for me to start a semi-normal like again. The birth of our son was awful. I was massive and am only 5'4". My midwife and GP were really concerned of the size of me and referred me to my consultant to request early C-Sec, also cos of 2nd degree tears from my first preg. They refused and said there would be no tearing this time. What a LIE! After a really complicated labour I evetually gave birth to an 11 lbs boy (Oliver) naturally with NO pain relief and sufffered 4th degree tearing (From the front to the back!) I was so angry with the consultant even tried to sue them unsuccessfully! After the birth I was immediately rushed in for surgery where they gave me an epidural too damn late! I then had major suregery to try to salvage whatever they could down below. After months of treatment and so on I am now semi recovered from my horrific experiences! I had the Mirena fitted soon after the birth of Oliver in Sept 2003. Had it removed on the 12 March 2008 to try for my 3rd child. I bought ovulation test sticks from ASDA which indicated that I was ovulating on the 26th March 2008. I read the stick wrong cos I lost the instruction sheet and thought it wasn't time yet then the following day (27th March) I decided to do another test only to discover that the test was actually showing positive not negative. That was it! I had my hubby on the bed instantly. I had heard of many women unable to conceive for so long after removal of Mirena coil so I was less than hopeful about myself coveiving anytime soon. I have found out on Monday 14th April 2008 that I was pregnant, not by doing a prenancy test initally, but because my breasts were aching when I removed my bra the night before. Then on Monday I had to be sure and YES the test showed positive!!!!!!!! How quick was that??? My advice to you all is get the ovulation test sticks and do it when they say. I actually haven't had a period for 4 years now and still have managed to fall preg. When the doctor removed my coil on 12th March 2008 she said she could see that I was about to have my period. Well I certainly didn't know about it at all and just went by the ovulation test sticks to guide me! Actually, it seems I just fall preg by a man touching me LOL!!!!!!

Hi everyone, this is my first time on this site. I am 25 and am wanting another child. The problem is, my spouse doesn't. I have an 8 yr old and 5 yr old. He says the timing isn't right, but I can't do anything but think about it. I want to have my children raised so we can have our time later. I have had the Mirena IUD since late August of 07. I wanna get it removed and start trying, but as stated above, he doesn't. Any advice??????????

I'm 34 years old. I had my copper IUD removed October 1. On October 22 I was a day or two late for my period so I took a test and found out I'm pregnant already. I too had read that the longer you have an IUD the longer it might take to get knocked up. (I had mine for 4 years.) I was expecting it to take at least a year, not less than two weeks! Anyway, I wanted to add my two cents because I'm proof that it can, indeed, happen right away after removal.

I was informed a month ago that I had some abnormal cell changes on my cervix, and was scheduled to come in for a colposcopy. I had the colpo 2 days ago and during the procedure my gyn decided to do a biopsy on a small portion of my cervix. While performing the biopsy she accidently grabbed my iud string and pulled it out. It was very painful and I've been in pain for the last two days. I was considering having it removed anyway, because I was wanting to have more kids, but now I'm afraid that they may have done some damage, and I don't know what to do.
nataliarita626 2007-10-09 10:16:47
My IUD has been removed for 11 months... my husband and I have been ready for some time now to have a second child.... no luck yet... during the time when i did have my IUD in place i did not have a period... and now 11 months later, i still have not had a period... but i have heard that it could take up to a year to become pregnant after taking out the MIRENA IUD.... i am pretty much tired of no luck getting pregnant... and ready to test my husbands semen
lulubell 2007-09-30 05:44:27
I got my cooper IUD after the birth of my child. I asked my doctor if I would be able to have children after having the IUD. I was told that their would be problems. I now have come to find that, it is not true. Since the removal of my IUD i have had sevire pelvic pains. I have been and forth to my doctors office because of this. My doctor keeps telling me they dont know why this is happening to me. I find my self wanting to cry I have been trying to get pregnant for 5 months now. I fear I will never be pregnant agian. If I would of know that this was one of the posible side effect. I would of never of got it.
rludlow11 2007-09-06 23:01:06
Just three weeks ago I hade my Mirena IUD removed after having it in for 4 1/2 years. I am hoping to become pregnant as soon as possible. The entire time having the iud I never once had a period, not even any spotting. I have not started one yet, I know it has only been three weeks since it has been removed but now I am just really worried. Has anyone had any luck at becoming pregnant soon after removal???

i had my iud removed in december 2006. we have been trying to get pregnant, i even took an ovulation perdictor test., which didn't work because i must have miscalculated. my periods are irregular going from 28 days to 35. i guess im just anxious to get pregnant, but i was wondering if anyone else has had this problem with the copper iud and how long did it take for periods to resume to normal?
sayhello2trouble 2007-04-18 02:11:33
I have had the Merina IUD in for almost five years. I haven't seen many people on here that have had it in that long. If anyone out there has had it that long and is trying to get pregnant still please let me know. I am begining to get worried that I might have made the wrong choice. My husband is ready to have more children now and I am afraid I might not be able to.
a young husband 2007-03-27 21:06:00
My wife had her copper IUD removed on the 8th Mar 2007. She had the IUD for about two years. Although we are not quite ready to have children, we decided to remove it because, for the two years that my wife had it, her periods were very bad with a lot of cramps and bleeding. (Compared to the periods, she had before the IUD, her periods with the IUD were severe.) We also assumed that it would take a while to recoperate from having the IUD for two years and we hope to have children in a year. According to her regular cycle, she should be well into her period now, but she has not started. Although we immediately started using condoms, we were worried that she might be pregnant. But, after reading all these great comments, I think we are safe to assume that it just takes a while to get the period back on track after removing the IUD. That is a releif. She plans on taking a pregnancy test tomorrow morning and then another one in a week just in case. If she is pregnant I will post the news. We definitely want kids, just not quite yet. After reading all these comments, I am pretty sure that it was wise to get it removed when we did, so that my wife can get pregnant when the time is right (which for us, will likely be within a year).
Guest 2007-03-26 19:03:13
Paragard put in Oct. 2002 after the birth of our 3rd child, just taken out Jan. 2007. I have since had irregular periods, from 24 days to 28 days. I think that Paragard/Mirena IUD's should really update their advertised information about regaining fertility. It should more accurately describe a realistic timeline for hormones to return to normal and thus allowing for pregnancy to occur. It does seem odd that we have all only recieved information from these companies stating that the ability to become pregnant will "return rapidly" when obviously this may not be the case for a substantial amount of users. I used the Norplant between my 1st child and 2nd, and with that I was able to become pregnant within 3 WEEKS of removal, now that's rapid. So this "rapid return of fertility" advertised by IUD's I believe may be inacurate. Hang in there, relax, and take good care of yourself. I guess that's what we can all do.

I had my marina iud removed 10/2005 and its 4/2007 and im still not pregnant...something gotta be wrong
Guest 2007-03-22 23:46:12
I had marina removed after 11/months boy friend and I decided we wanted another baby. Still no luck, I get depressed everytime my cycle appears. If anyone recommend anything besides standing on your head inquiring minds want to know.
Guest 2007-03-22 20:22:09
I had the copper IUD for 4 years it was very painful and the bleeding very heavy. I finally decided to take it out September 2006. it has been 6 months and nothing yet. after seeing all these comments I guess it isnt that hard to get pregnant after the removal but I am starting to wonder if my case is like the one of my friend who after having it on for 5 years could not get pregnant for another 4 years this after a doctor did something to her (some type of cleaning of the tubes)----- any words of encouragement??
Guest 2007-03-22 01:12:42
HI I recently had my ParaGard removed on March 12. The Doctor told me to go home and try right away as it looked like I was ovulating. I had the IUD put in in 2003. My periods are very sporatic, anywhere from 28-36 days. I never know! We really want another baby, has anyone gotten lucky getting pregnant right away? Are we all instant gratifiers or what? Thanks

I recently posted a bulletin about a week ago about trying to get pregnant after my IUD removal. Well I am happy to say that after my one month of trying, I am 5 1/2 weeks pregnant. YEAH!!!! So females out there it can happen so don't give up.
Guest 2007-03-18 03:56:04
Hi. Wondering if the Copper IUD was as painful to get out as it was getting it put in?
Guest 2007-03-14 19:47:31
I can't believe that some of you are complaining of not getting pregnant after one month. You need to let you bodies hormones get back to normal before you start feeling like its not working. And if you relax about the whole thing it may help. You will stress out your body.

Reposting with my information: I had my ParaGard IUD removed in Nov. 2006, after having it in for a year. I couldn't take the cramps anymore. So now it has been 4 months and my husband and I are trying to conceive. I figured if I gave my body time to adjust back that I would skip all of the frustration. But I don't think the frustration of waiting and seeing is over yet, it has just begun. It's hard to track my ovulation cycle because my period has not returned to normal. It has ranged anywhere from 31 to 45 days. Now I am regretting ever getting the IUD. Could stress be playing a factor with me not being able to conceive right away?

I had a my IUD in for about 3 months, took it out due to complication. It took me 6 months to get pregnant. I'm due Nov 4th! Ladies don't give up, I didn't. I just figured that it probably could just take awhile to get our bodies back. Good Luck to all of you.!

Guest 2007-02-14 03:02:05
I have had my Copper T in since 2002, It's about that time to have it taken out. Recently I have had a nose bleed, just one! It freaked me out because I have never had a nose bleed not even when fighting as a youngster. Yesterday I found a hair growing under my chin. Once again, this has never happen to me. Is it the hormones? I am only 26!! Someone help me befor I turn my back on this device forever!

I'v had my iud for 3 years and 4 months and i went to have it taken out the docter told me she can't find the strings. has this happened to anyone else?
Guest 2007-01-16 00:10:09
I also had The marina I.U.D. inserted in 2000, and removed in Feb 2006. Ever since than My husband and I have been tring for a baby and Still no luck. Many of negitive tests later still no baby!!! Please HELP. So confused
Guest 2007-01-13 01:59:01
If you are still trying to get pregnant try having your doctor do an HSG. It is a procedure when they insert dye into your flopepan tobs and they run right out after they go from one side to the other. Procedure takes 5 minutes and determines if their is any blockage. I go pregant the next month it make you more furtile. Good luck.
Guest 2007-01-07 13:06:45
I just had my IUD removed after 4 years, I have started spotting but n period yet. Is i possible to get a period right away?
Guest 2007-01-05 16:38:50
I had my copper t removed and have had no luck getting pregnant for 5 months now. I'm not getting any younger and want to get preg. asap.
Guest 2006-12-30 02:22:40
I had my Merina IUD removed on Dec 4th after having it in for 2 1/2 years. First of all, the removal was a piece of cake! I spotted for three days the same week I had it taken out and now nothing, other than lots of breast tendersness. My midwife told me it takes about three months for all the hormones to even out and that your body needs to have a good periods to "clean" it's self out. Don't be discouraged if it hasnt' happened right away, I think the three month rule is pretty consistant for anyone coming off any type of birth control. I'll update when I get pregnant!
Guest 2006-12-28 04:00:09
I had my Merina IUD removed the 8th of Dec and prior to that i had my last menstrual 11/24/06 and Since the Iud removal I have had no period.. Took 3 pregnancy test... All Negative... Does this IUD removal effect your cycle.....
Guest 2006-12-27 22:20:04
i had my coil removed on 27th nov not pregnant as yet but must give the standing on the head a try lol
Guest 2006-12-21 22:25:31
I also have the Marina IUD and wanted to find out what the expected time was to get pregnant... I guess I am not the only one. I am getting it out Jan 10th and will keep you posted. If you are having trouble getting pregnant (I know it sounds strange), but after sex do not go to the restroom and stand on your head for 10 min. I know many women who have tried and become pregnant. I don't have and scientific backing, but it works! I know I will do it in Jan!
Guest 2006-12-11 15:21:37
I got pregnant after 3mths but i am spotting all the times while i am pregnant. I not sure if it is the effects of the recent iud that i had removed but i am scared. i have two other kids and i did not spot with them. This is a first has anyone experience this.
Guest 2006-11-28 05:43:43

Has anyone else been through this or is it just me. Please if you can help let me know any info about how long it took if you were able to have kids afterwards or if not thank you.

Birth control methods 
Most data suggests that a woman regains fertility immediately after the removal of IUD. Some claim that pregnancy is possible after one month after the removal of this device from the uterus. Women should be aware that there are certain differences between a copper and hormonal IUD and should discuss all the pros and cons with the doctor prior to insertion of this contraceptive device into the uterus. 
I had my iud taken out on march 23rd and i have had a normal period every month since then, still no baby. Weve been having sex everynight and even went back to the dr to talk to her about any other things we should try. Her number one suggestion was not to stress about it and just let it happen. so ladies as hard as it is, don't stress! I should start again on september 1st, but were really hoping this is our month and I don't!! Good luck to everyone else out there trying! It will happen for us soon! 
so I guess we are going too try again... doing the robitussin again since I hear it works. Maybe this is the month! Wish me luck, and good luck to the others trying! 
but its just annoying you know i mean the waiting part because we r definetly njoyn all the extra curricular activities we hv goin on around here 
but I should start on the 7th this month. my mom has been having dreams of me having a girl, and she doesnt even know that we are trying again! Im crossing my fingers and praying that she is right! please pray for us!! 
so, today after work I stopped by and purchased and E.P.T the type that spell out "Not Pregnant" or "Pregnant" that way I wouldn't have to guess at the little lines and...... I'm Pregnant!! I haven't even told my husband I am trying to think of a way to break the happy news to him so we can then tell my boys. The reason I'm sitting here typing away my good news is because I surfed the internet and visited lots of websites trying to find answers or blog about the IUD when I had it inserted 4 years ago then, the removal and now trying to concieve and this was the best blog ever. I will continue to post and keep you guys updated. Please keep me in your prayers
