Mirena is OUT! Some ?'s

kelliwill

Saw the Dr this afternoon and had it removed.  It felt a little crampy but once it was out I felt nothing!  I am a little confused though.  The OB who took it out is new, as I was trying out a new Dr since we moved.  He said to wait about a month before we start trying.  The Mirena website says you can start right away.  I called the OB who delivered the twins and the nurse there said no need to wait.  I liked the new OB enough to take it out but will likely not stay with him as I didn't love him.  Anyway just wondering if anyone else has had experience with removing mirena and what you were told?  TIA!

I was told there was no need to wait.

I was told to wait for a period and then you can try.  Reason being is that because of the hormones in the Mirena, you don't really develop much of a lining.  If you had the Mirena removed around O time and were to get pregnant, there could be issues with the baby being able to implant.  However, if you had it removed at the beginning of your cycle, or wait for a period, your body will have a chance to build a nice, lush lining.  Good luck!

Your chances of having twins are highest right after b/c is out because you are more likely to hyper ovulate during this month. Take your chances!

I was told to wait and use OPKs in the cycle(s) prior to TTC to make sure that I was ovulating since I had to use Metformin regulate my cycles when we were TTC our oldest. I conceived the twins the first month that we tried after having the Mirena removed but it was the fourth cycle after having it removed. We waited bc I didn't want to be pregnant on our vacation at Disneyland. I've always wondered if I would have conceived twins on any of the prior months.

I specifically asked the Dr about this and he said that is not the case.  Our twins are ID and there is no reason to think that I hyper-ovulate.

Lurker. Sorry...

I've heard the hyperovulation thing as well and I have a friend with fraternal twin boys which were conceived immediately after Mirena removal. I think that the hyperovulation thing is true not just for Mirena, but a lot of different BCs. My midwife even checked to see if this pregnancy was a multiple one b/c it was directly after Mirena (3 months, anyway).
