Pregnancy after mirena

[Dee_ohh]

I removed my mirena myself the night of december 27. That same night I had sex. I've had sex a couple times since with the intent to get pregnant. Problem is with mirena I had no periods. Therefore I don't know when I'm ovulating. I had my iud for about 3 1/2 years. Should I expect to be pregnant? When should I test? I kinda wanted to have a baby in october if I can time it. This would be my first pregnancy. Can anyone help me out with this? I was told after removal you could get pregnant immediately.

I conceived 5 months after having mine removed but we didn't really start trying until a few months after removal. I was concerned about cycles returning after a delay after estrogen-based bc but am not sure I needed to worry. I'm just a neurotic planner. :)

I didn't have periods but did have a bit of spotting occasionally. I never looked in to it too closely but my understanding is that the mirena can stop ovulation for some but not for others? Perhaps someone else here knows more.

Wait.. why would u remove mirena on ur own?? Not good! Anyways I hadd it for 2 years.. got it removed in aug 2010.. found out I was pregnant july 2011 so almost 1 yr it took me to get pregnant.. jus know that just bcuz others got pregnant fast doesn't mean u will.. everyones different... n I'm sure takin it out on ur own doesn't make ur chances any better... when the time is rite it'll happen... sometimes it takes a while for ur body to get bak to normal esp after all those hormones mirena produces.. don't rush.. n don't get ur hopes up..

Did you have a period after removal, I have a lot of questions! Sorry!

Also did you have periods while having iud? And did you know if you were ovulating? I'm so confused cause I haven't had a period so I don't know when I'm ovulating.

So less than a month after you were pregnant? I'm really wanting to be now! Lol!

I had my IUD removed Sept 14, and I conceived Oct 13. I'm 13 weeks and 3 days and so far, so good. I had mine in for 5 years. From what I understand, you have to be at least a month along before a store bought test shows up positive. Good luck!
