TTC after Mirena

So I had my Mirena IUD removed on Oct 30 and spotted for a couple days after but that was expected, I also had a pap done at the time of removal. We have been TTC but I haven't had an actual period since the removal, therefore haven't been able to chart or bother with ovulation tests, I have taken two tests at home, both with negitive results. My question is to thoes of you who have had experience with the Mirena, how long did it take for fertility to return, and how long should I go with no period before consulting my GYN? I really never expected this because I got pregnant twice within a 3 month period  while trying to concieve my son ( first pregnancy resulted in miscarrage). Anyway any insight would be greatly appreciated!

I don't have any first hand knowledge yet as my Mirena will be removed in January.  But  someone I know had hers taken out at the mid to end of September and got pregnant in October without ever starting a period.  But if you have questions I'd call your ob to ask.

I had a copper IUD for 10 years. I had regular periods and such. My time line was up with it so I got Mirena placed in July '09. I had it taken out in March '10. We waited until May to begin trying because of insurance reasons. I conceived on like our first try. I didn't have Mirena very long though and my cycles were still pretty regular. I think a lot has to do with how the hormones affected your cycles and pinpointing your ovulation date.

I got regular cycles as soon as it was removed (actually it fell out on its own).  I would probably contact your GYN, it really isn't supposed to have any lasting effects after its removed.

My step sister had Mirena three times now.  Each time she had it removed, she ended up pregnant within a few months.  I personally don't use those, so I don't know.  I just know she got preggo fast and wasn't trying at all.

I had mine removed in April, went on the mini-pill which obviously I didn't absorb correctly and was pregnant by June!

A new IUD was gonna cost $840 and I was saving up! hmm...lol

Hang in there, everyone is so different.  I still have my Mirena!  So, just goes to show ya if you're going to get pg and didn't have issues conceiving before you'll be fine. Stop trying so hard and I bet it'll happen.  Good Luck!

I delivered 6 weeks early a 5lb 15oz lil boy:)  After spending 2 months on bed rest in the hospital and Mason spending 11 days in the NICU, we're both home and doing great!  Mason is getting bigger and gaining weight like he should.  Now it's my turn to lose this weight!  It's tough to get back on the band wagon...I CAN do this!

It took me about 2 months to conceive after mine was removed. If you were pretty regular with your periods before Mirena, I would talk to your MD about the fact that they haven't come back, once the Mirena is out things are supposed to return to normal very quickly.
