TTC after Mirena

meganiobe · March 2012

Hey All! H and I are starting to TTC our 2nd LO, and I am just recently off my Mirena. I was just wondering if anyone had experience with TTC after Mirena, and how log it took? I know that it can be different with everyone, but I'm just interested in gathering information on the subject! Thanks in advance!

GL to you in TTC! Very exciting!

For me, prior to Mirena I had my period every 4th wednesday at 8 am on the dot. On mirena, I didn't have a period at all. I had Mirena moved this past August, had off cycles since then, M/C in November, and again two weeks ago Just remember that everyone is different and most people (i am a very small percentage) go back to normal periods after Mirena removal.

I have never had regular cycles, so I have been all over the place, but I am not sure if thats the Mirena's fault or mine. I'm so sorry about your m/c I know how hard that can be. GL in the future! Thanks for the information.

No problem! I don't mean to scare you by any means! I am a very small percentage who has issues after having mirena, whether they are related or not, we don't know. Most people don't have any issues and go back to their normal, or relatively normal (hehe) schedules after removal, so hopefully that is you! GL to TTCing!!

Hi there, I have had 2 Mirena's. IUD 1: Had severe bleeding 2 weeks after removal. Everything was fine after that. BPF 4 months lately. IUD 2: Removed during period, cycle 35 days (normal for me). I am trying now, it has only been 2 months.

I got my Mirena out in October and we started TTC at the end of November. This question gets asked a lot and so if you're looking for more responses you could either scroll through the past few days (I know there was a TTC after IUD question in the past day or so) or google "TTC after Mirena" +thebump to pull up old threads. The search feature on here doesn't work but Google should pull up at least a few similar threads.

I got my Mirena out in September and we are still TTC. I used to be a 28 day cycle but after getting the Mirena out my cycles ranged from 25-30 days which made it difficult for me to know when I was O especially since I wasn't charting. Last month was my 1st 28 day cycle and I also started charting. It seemed to take a few months to get back to what my "normal" was. When I first got it out I did read some other forums where people discussed their issues TTC post Mirena and it seems to vary from person to person. Some people got KU right away while others it took some time. GL to you.

I got my Mirena out after 3.5 years. I purposefully had it removed the morning before I was due to start AF so that my own hormone cycle would sync with the withdraw from the progesterone in the IUD.

My Ob told us to wait until I had a normal AF to show that my body had normalized and my lining had built back up. She told me it could take up to 3 months for this to happen. For me it took 2.

Reading about this around when I had mine out there were tonnes of women who reported getting KU within 3 months, and a bunch who had CP within a couple of months of having it out (which I asked my Ob about, and she said it was likely because their lining wasn't ready to maintain a pregnancy ... hence the waiting for a normal AF), and some with IF problems that they blamed on Mirena. I'm not sure if any of the IF problems could actually be attributed to the IUD because it seemed like many of them were ignoring that they were 5 years older then when they had it in and that your fertility is expected to decrease as you age. A quick PubMed (a medical research database) search turned up no case reports or studies linking Mirena to IF.

I know this doesn't quite answer your question. There is a lot of info about this on dozens of boards out there. Google has a wealth of info, as does your Ob-Gyn.
