Hi all,
DH and I were thinking about getting pregnant. DD is 13 months and I had the Mirena IUD put in, in January. Any advice for us? Has anyone done this recently, and does it hurt/ discomfort when the IUD comes out? I only had minor discomfort when I had it put in...
Thanks all
Amanda
Re: Baby #2 after Mirena IUD
Welcome! I just had mine taken out two weeks ago. The first time I went in they couldn't find the stings. I went in the next day to see a different doctor and he used a different tool and was able to find it. It wasn't comfortable but it didn't hurt either. There was some cramping similar to when it went in. Good luck.
I had a "period" a few days after it came out. I would recommend temping. I'm not sure where I am at with my cycles or how long it will take to get back to normal. Temping makes me feel like I am in control of something while I wait.
I got my mirena out 3 months ago. My dr. told me that there is a higher rate of miscarriage 3 months after the IUD removal. It's only slightly higher however and she heard someone get pregnant as early has 7 days after it was removed.
The removal was a piece of cake compared to the implant. It's 2 seconds of discomfort.
Thank you both for the replies! I am obviously going to call my gyno and see when I can see him. We weren't originally going to get pregnant this year, but my two sister in laws are pregnant AND I am feeling the pull again for a baby. I was just wondering what you all have gone through after it came out and whether you are TTC now, or just feeling it out.

I cannot begin to tell you all how excited I am to be on these boards again speaking about having another baby! DH was a bit hesitant at first. But seems to be really excited about this journey again. I cannot wait to make the doctor's appointment
