Hello Ladies,

My name is Allison and I have been on and off TB for nearly a decade (yikes!) Anyway, DH and I are planning to TTC as soon as I get my Mirena out in about two weeks. A lot has changed since I was last here so bear with me as I get used to the new rules. DS was kind of a surprise so this TTC stuff is all new to me. Worry not, however, as I have put in my time lurking, read the stickys, and downloaded FF (even though its kinda useless for me since I don't get periods with the Mirena.) I'm super anxious/excited to get started and look forward to going on this journey with you ladies!

My main concerns right now are: coming off SSRI's- how much more of this misery will I have to endure? And TTC after Mirena. and advice/tips are greatly appreciated!

Hello and good luck!

I personally have never been on SSRIs or had the Mirena so I don't have much advice for that but I know both will take time to get everything back to normal. Use the WTO and TWW boards to vent and post concerns, helps me get through this TTC journey. Oh and welcome!

Thanks Ladies!

What @kcolly32 said, and definitely chart/temp like you're planning to do! It's saved me so much confusion as I happened to wind up with long post-Mirena cycles. Good luck to you and I hope your stay here is short!

Welcome!  I came off of Prozac in April when we started trying and it got better after about 2-3 months.  At first I was super emotional about everything and crying at commercials.  Now I have mellowed by still deal with a lot of anxiety.  But it should all be worth it!

I'm not sure about SSRI and I had the other IUD (copper), so I'm no help on either of those questions, but I did want to say Hi and welcome!  I hope you don't have to hang around here long (as much fun as these ladies are)!

Thanks for the tips ladies!
@Irg14- I was prescribed Paxil by my GI to treat IBS a few months ago. It helped a lot but coming off has left me with intense vertigo and other flu like symptoms. It's been about a week and I'm trying my best to wait this out but I feel so useless because I can't do anything without feeling like the room is spinning. Haven't noticed many emotional changes, just frustration with these symptoms. I've been tempted to go back on just to get some relief, but then I'd have to push back TTC and I'm already counting down the days as it is!
