Good luck :goodluck: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mirena-removal#post-1969775 Wed, 03 Dec 2014 19:07:03 +0000 Mrs. Microscope 1969775@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It was a breeze, no pain at all. My cycles were regular right away and I got pregnant after 3 cycles of active trying, 8 months after removal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mirena-removal#post-1969730 Wed, 03 Dec 2014 18:10:30 +0000 Mrs. Cheesecake 1969730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Removal was so easy. My doctor had me cough and next thing the Mirena was out. I didn't even feel it. I had a light period for the first month post-removal and then had a regular period and was pregnant after! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mirena-removal#post-1969712 Wed, 03 Dec 2014 18:00:40 +0000 Anya 1969712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Way easier out than in, though not exactly a picnic either way! I'm pretty sure I felt back to normal by the next day. I didn't TTC after removing mine, but my first cycle post iud was super long, and after a few months I was more regulated (for me- I have irregular cycles anyway) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mirena-removal#post-1968628 Wed, 03 Dec 2014 04:38:29 +0000 maddyz 1968628@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wasn't ovulating with mine. Around 28 days after it came out I had what felt like the 3 years of popped I had missed in one huge raging mess. I had to stay home for 4 days and deal. After that my periods and ovulation regulated. I was charting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mirena-removal#post-1968622 Wed, 03 Dec 2014 03:11:26 +0000 turquoisemama 1968622@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't TTC after removing mine, but took it out because of the horrendous cramps it caused me. Anyway, one day I couldn't take it anymore and pulled it out myself! It literally was easier than taking out a tampon. Just kind of slid right out. The next time I went to the doctor, I told her id removed it and she laughed and said "Great! No need for an appointment for that!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mirena-removal#post-1968607 Wed, 03 Dec 2014 01:00:34 +0000 mrsbubbletea 1968607@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The removal was great, so much better than insertion and super super fast. I don't remember exact specifics about removal, but I think I got it removed in the summer and then pregnant in November. I think my cycle came back pretty fast from what I remember. I had a hard hard time with the mirena, such painful cramps and very frequent spotting, that I was afraid Id have issues regaining a normal cycle or even that I had scarring. But my obgyn said everything looked fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mirena-removal#post-1968582 Wed, 03 Dec 2014 00:03:34 +0000 Rockies11 1968582@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jodyblair: super easy removal - hurt for maybe 30 seconds. Removed it in early July, had 28 day apart super light (like one day of spotting) periods, then one full regular period in October and conceived that cycle! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mirena-removal#post-1968569 Tue, 02 Dec 2014 23:26:38 +0000 Corduroy 1968569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had two uneventful removals. The second time the string had been trimmed too short but they still managed to fish it out painlessly.</p> <p>I had one removed after 6 years when we TTC #1. I think it took us 3 months. It seemed like the hormone had worn off prior to removal since my period had already returned. </p> <p>I had the second one removed 10 months or so after I got it to TTC#2. My PMS was horrible after removal but I don't know if that was my post partum periods or the IUD. It took us 5 months to get pregnant. FWIW I was BFing for 3 of those months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mirena-removal#post-1968565 Tue, 02 Dec 2014 23:22:20 +0000 littleblessings 1968565@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had paragard and I didn't feel the removal. Mine was partially expelled. The doc said it has to come out and seconds later it was in a bag. I didn't feel a thing </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mirena-removal#post-1968541 Tue, 02 Dec 2014 22:47:35 +0000 yoursilverlining 1968541@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Removal was extremely easy, only took a few moments and didn't hurt at all. We used condoms for several months after its removal, but got pregnant as soon as we neglected to use protection. My period returned within weeks of the Mirena removal and was regular after that (was regular before). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mirena-removal#post-1968536 Tue, 02 Dec 2014 22:43:45 +0000 yellowbird 1968536@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jodyblair: removal was super easy for me. My cycle length was out of wack (long 40ish day cycles) after removal, but I conceived on the first month trying after removal. I got it removed about 3 months before we started ttc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mirena-removal#post-1968481 Tue, 02 Dec 2014 22:04:08 +0000 jodyblair 1968481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Coral: That's our plan exactly! I have PCOS and had long cycles before I got pregnant with ds. But for the last few months, I've been ovulating regularly and having predictable 32 day cycles. I'm really hoping this continues even after the mirena is out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mirena-removal#post-1968477 Tue, 02 Dec 2014 22:00:34 +0000 Mrs. Coral 1968477@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jodyblair: Removal was a million times better than insertion. I had it removed in December, used condoms until February when we started TTC. We conceived in May. </p> <p>My cycles were normal after removal--just not as light as they were on the Mirena. We wanted to give my body time to acclimate w/o the IUD, hence the Dec-Feb gap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mirena-removal#post-1968474 Tue, 02 Dec 2014 21:59:48 +0000 jodyblair 1968474@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: We won't start trying for a couple more months. I just want to go ahead and get it taken out and let my body adjust. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mirena-removal#post-1968469 Tue, 02 Dec 2014 21:56:14 +0000 lilyofthewest 1968469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've had two removals (first expired and needed replacing). Both were quick and straightforward. Neither was comfortable, but, I was feeling fine again within a few minutes. </p> <p>My first cycle after taking it out was weird, but, things were normal again within 6 weeks. </p> <p>I conceived on my 8th cycle after removal. I have endometriosis and my partner also has some mild male factor issues that probably increased our time to conceive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mirena-removal#post-1968468 Tue, 02 Dec 2014 21:55:24 +0000 winter_wonder 1968468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jodyblair: We never tried before, I don't really think it was related to the IUD...but I've never been told anything more specific than I have "unexplained infertility." Hope the removal is smooth sailing for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mirena-removal#post-1968465 Tue, 02 Dec 2014 21:53:47 +0000 Smurfette 1968465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jodyblair: why are the March Mommy's having babies/TTC?!?! Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mirena-removal#post-1968461 Tue, 02 Dec 2014 21:52:08 +0000 jodyblair 1968461@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winter_wonder: How frustrating! Did you have any trouble conceiving before? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mirena-removal#post-1968456 Tue, 02 Dec 2014 21:49:02 +0000 winter_wonder 1968456@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jodyblair: no issues with removal. Far easier than getting it put in! Unfortunately we haven't been able to conceive since I've had it taken out...over 2 years ago. Ugh :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mirena-removal#post-1968450 Tue, 02 Dec 2014 21:45:13 +0000 jhd 1968450@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had no issues with removal and we conceived our LO on the second cycle ttc. Good luck! :goodluck: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mirena-removal#post-1968449 Tue, 02 Dec 2014 21:43:24 +0000 jodyblair 1968449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm getting my mirena removed tomorrow so we can get ready to TTC. What was the removal like for you? Did you have any side effects afterwards? How long did it take to conceive once you started trying? </p>
