New to the bump...with a thousand questions. :)

My husband and I have been married for a 1 year and 4 months, and we are loving our little life with our furry children Smokey(great dane) and Engine (dach/beagle mix). Recently we have come to the conclusion that we would be happy if we got pregnant, but we are not actively ttc.  I went to the doctor b/c my cycles have been out of whack since going off of bcp, and I never had any problems with it until now.  She tried to blame it on weight gain,but I informed her that I am very cautious of what I eat and i live for exercising. I am just a built young woman( big booty and boobs). I have been regular for the past two months so hopefully it is back on track.  One question I have is has anyone used mirena and if so what were your experiences with it?  I got off of bcp for a short period of time right before my wedding and got the mirena, this is when it seemed as though I gained more weight in my butt and hips, no sex drive( after the wedding, not normal for a newlywed). I got off it and got back on bcp and my cycle was perfectly normal and then this past march i got off of it completely and it has been crazy every since. Any advice would be appreciated.  i am a nervous nelly at heart and now I am scared that I won't be able to get pregnant. I know it sounds ridiculous b/c we aren't really trying, but we aren't not trying either if that makes any sense.  I hope I have not bored all of you to death, still new to this message boarding. I hope to hear from some of you, b/c I feel that other's input is important.  Have an awesome day!

    If you live for exercising, excessive exercise might contribute to wacky cycles. Just something to think about.

    If you are thinking of TTC, why would you want Mirena?

    I looked at that after I typed it, but I had the mirena for about 6 months last year( I don't want it now.). I was just curious if any others had any problems with it. sorry.... i got a bit excited typing.haha.

    I haven't used Mirena, but I did have a lot of trouble cycling my BCP out of my system. I went off the pill last July and did not get a period until last December. Even then, I did not ovulate until March of this year for the first time after getting off of the pill. My April period was a week late, then we wound up conceiving in May. It was a struggle to get my body back in sync after stopping the pill.

    I know you don't want to hear 'be patient,' but it's possible that that's all you need. :)

    GL to you!!!!

    Thank you so much! That truly is a relief to hear that it is somewhat normal.  I know in God's timing my husband and I will be blessed with a little one. Good luck to you as well!
