I'm on it now for the first time, so I can't speak to TTC after it, except that my OB said fertility returns IMMEDIATELY after removal. If you don't know of any potential TTC issues, I personally would just have lots of fun for the next month or two while you see what pattern your cycle is in. Maybe you'll luck out right away, and if not you can start temping or using OPKs then. Maybe use OPKs now and then to see if you can figure out when you ovulate if you can't relax without having some kind of guidance. When we were TTC, I was way to uptight from the beginning and I should have just enjoyed the process and gone to a lot of movies, dinners, and other fun stuff with DH instead of stressing from the beginning. This should be a fun time!

If you can't wait or if you don't get a BFP the first couple months, I highly recommend Take Control of Your Fertility.

I would probably wait to use OPK until you get your first post-Mirena period, just so you know approx when to use the test sticks and are not wasting any...but if you want to use them right away I certainly don't see any harm in doing so!

I had my Mirena removed in May and my periods returned to normal immediately. We used protection for several more months because we were not ready to TTC, but I got pregnant as soon as we didn't use any protection.

Here's to hoping you get your BFP quickly!
