I got my IUD removed in early july, I spotted for two days about two days after removal and since then nothing. I had all the symptoms of ovulation, and then two weeks later felt nauseous, bloated, exhausted etc, but BFN. I'm now 5 weeks from my removal and no sign of a period yet. I'm going to a naturopath tomorrow to discuss hormone balancing and perhaps acupuncture to things regulated, but was wondering if anyone else had either herbs, acupuncture or anything else to help get your body back to normal? I want to TTC asap so i'm eager to get things back.

So I have no tips on the hormone balancing, but if it helps I didn't get a real period until 6 weeks after my IUD removal (Mirena). My cycle has been pretty regular since then and only varies by a day or so.

@peachykeen: That sounds promising. You just waited it out? Dr google has such varying results from people getting knocked up right away to people taking 3,6,12 months to get a period!

I was confused about it too and did a lot of Googling. I checked my chart and I had some spotting 2.5 weeks later but no real period until 6 weeks. I had it removed end of March so I've had 4 cycles since then.
It's taking me longer to get pregnant this time, but hopefully it's not a result of the IUD... Who knows, though. I temped and used OPKs last month and it seems that I'm ovulating, so hopefully I'm back to normal.

I got my period this morning.. of course!
Still going to the naturopath to see what they suggest coming off birth control.

@Banana330: I'm a little over a week post removal and I had spotting for a few days but nothing since Saturday. Can you provide an update?

@mrsmbeegee: I'm currently pregnant! It took us 6 cycles to get pregnant. It was definitely longer than the first time. I went to a naturopath and took vitex and a few other herbs for a few months. Did acupuncture the cycle before and the cycle I got pregnant. Who knows why it took so long but it was super frustrating at the time.

@Banana330: Thanks for the update and congrats!!!
