effects when mirena removal and pregnancy afterwards

[June52010]

Hi, I had my Mirena placed Nov 2005. At the time I was married and we already had two children. Needless to say things didn't go well and we divorced. I kept the Mirena in place anyway. I am now getting remarried next year. My finace and I want to add a little one to our family (his first my third). I know I don't need to have the Mirena removed until Nov 2010 but seeing as we will be getting married in June we would like to try to plan on getting pregnant quickly there after. Not sure if I should get it removed before the wedding or wait until after we return from our honeymoon.

When I had it inserted, it was like giving birth all over again. I know the doctor said to wait a little bit before leaving, and I did. But from the walk from the office to the elevators...I got dizzy and had to sit. (luckily they had couches in a waiting area at the elevator) I made it to my car and waiting again before I left. What's it like when it's removed? I'm just curious as to what I'm in for. Thanks so much.

I removed my own. It was painless and very quick and easy. It can take a while for fertility to return so maybe get it out 4-6 weeks before your wedding. This will give your body time to get over removal bleeding and get your cycle back on track.

I had my mirena removed 2 days ago and it was painless and very simple with a count of 3 it was out. I was worried too, and I'm so glad it was painless. I hope yours will go just a smooth. =)

I had mine removed this week and it was no different from taking out a tampon! It depends on how good your OB/GYN is really. Best of luck!
