Hello all! I was active in the board when I was TTC #1 and #2 and now we've decided to try for #3. I had my Mirena removed last week and I was wondering about other people experiences conceiving after IUD removal. I'm definitely feeling my system is trying to regulate but I'm really curious about that first period after removal. Any other experiences would be great to hear about! I look forward to participating more once I can identify what my cycle is again (haven't had a period in like 4 years).
Hello @Erinm278! Welcome to the TTGP board. To keep our board clear, we generally try and limit the number of one off posts. Instead, we have daily threads each of which has a questions section where this question would fit perfectly! Throw an intro into the weekly intro thread and we look forward to getting to know you better!
A quick response to your question, though. As this is a Trying to Get Pregnant board, most of us don't have an answer for the general effect on successfully conceiving, having not conceived yet. But for a first period, I had what I think was a period (very light and short) a few days after removal, and then had a fairly regular cycle with the next coming around 31 days. It was also lighter and shorter than I remembered. But after that it seems that things have regulated fairly quickly.
Thank you for that..I realized after I posted it that it wasn't worded right but I didn't want to delete it. I'll start participating more in the group and I look forward to getting to know everyone!
