well said (36momof3) i was trying to pretty much say the same thing! i can tell you mandy i had my son at 17 and although i had a great supportSupport Support 500 system it was the hardest thing i have done in my life and like 36momof3 i would not change it for the world and my son is my life, it was very hard, me and his father were together for 5 years and it didnt work out so being a single mom is very hard, words cant tell you how stressful it can be at times! i am now happy to say i a very happy with how my life has turned out now, i have met and about to marry the man of my dreams.
Mandy just dont jump in to having a baby because its something to do the most precious things in life are worth waiting for!!! Good luck to you and i hope you the best!
i agree with 36momof3 you cant have a baby to fill a void in life babies take more then they give raising a baby is hard especially by yourself sometimes i think it takes a village to raise a baby so i think you should fix things and make sure this is the guy for you because children is a lifetime commitment talk things over with him
I know womenWomen's way that have kids on their own because they are old and not married, but you are very young and i am pretty sure you can wait a little for the right man to have the baby with. :)
Anyone here also chart their BBT? If so, any trouble with it since IUD removal? I am making myself crazy looking at the graph over and over hoping to see a true patter that I am actually ovulating...confused...anxious...just plain CRAZY right now!!!
I just turned 31 and I just got married a month ago to the man of my dreams, who has no kids, and has never been
married. I have two kids from a previos relationship,a four yr old and another who will be 3 this month. I had my IUD Mirena in for 3 years, since my last son was born, who is now going to be 3 years old. I was told by my doctor that I would be able to get pregnant immediately after I remove my IUD,...but from reading all these comments and issues with having trouble getting pregnant after having the IUD, I'm getting a little nervous and uneasy about it??I'm a little confused, because what I had understood is that the Mirena did not have hormones,...so I'm not sure why I was told otherwise??Can anybody help...My husband and I really want to get pregnant, but I havent even had a regular period for about 4 years?????How long before I can expect to get pregnant, or even start a normal ovulation. We have intercourse regularly, and are anticipating conception???But can I even get pregnant without having a period first...Please help.....Its been a month already, and I've taken several pregnancy tests, and ovulation test and NOTHING??????
Just wanted to let you know that it has been about 3 weeks since my ectopic pregnancy, d & c, and loss of tube. It was really hard at first. Now, I have been able to accept things. Recovery has came along great with all the incisions healing except for the one on my belly button. My doctor still wants me to wait about another 9 weeks before trying again. It is really hard to wait to try again seeing as how I got pregnant and has all of that taken away. I have been talking to my doctor about possibly trying clomid when my nine weeks are up. What do yall think? I keep thinking that I just want to get pregnant again with my twins. I have also read on different web sites that you are very fertile the first 3 months after a miscarriage or pregnancy. Do you all think I should wait until the doctors gives the all clear or just see if it happens naturally before then? I just really do not know what to do.
i think you should just wait for it to naturally happen for awhile to let your body heal im sure you know as well as i do what a pregnancy does to your body so if i was you i would take it easy remember things happen for a reason and when there suppose to lay back relax have fun with the kids and enjoy trying if it doesnt happen for a few months after the 9 weeks then i would ask the doctor about clomid but thats just me i hate taking meds unless i absoluely have to
I just wanted to say that I am not convinced that Mirena causes any issues for people to get pregnant. There are plenty of folks on here that have gotten pregnant right away or within the first couple of months. Yes, there are some people that have chemical pregnancies and other issues but that happens with or without the use of Mirena.
Some of the girls may not agree with me on this one. But, remember that on average you only have 25% chance of getting pregnant each month with a healthy couple (no issues).
The other side of the coin is that if you had issues while the mirena was inserted then you are more likely to have issues getting pregnant. But, if you had a relatively smooth experience then you should be just fine. This forum is good... just try not to stress yourself out or you won't ovulate. Good luck to you!

I DID NOT WRIGHT THIS MY BROTHER HE IS 14 AND WAS ON MY COMPUTER I DID NOT CLOSE THIS PAGE HE WAS THINK IT WOULD BE FUNNY TO MAKE FUN OF WHAT HAPPEN TO ME AND SOME IS NOT TRUE SORRY WHEN I WRIGHT THE LAST POST I DID NOT SEE THIS

i dont want to hurt your feelings maybe its just me but i cant understand what you write half the time if that was a 12 year that wrote that then you must write like a 12 year old and you shouldnt be mad because of what he typed you basically wrote the same thing he wrote so why did you take the time out to write it again
i must say most of you ladies have helped me by just hearing your stories , i was just wondering if there is another site that also talks about the same ordeals as here.... i just would like to hear as many stories as i can, that relate to me and find more ladies who have had mirena and had the same things i had , i had the mirena for 4 years and i had regular periods nothing change with me having it in..
Hi, I also had the mirena for 4 years and before iud I was regular every 24-26 days. With it I was every 22-23 days. My periods never stopped they only got lighter, but never had problems with it until the end.
Well - I don't even understand what the issue is anymore???
After reading what you wrote, it seems to me that whatever happend to you in the past is not really in the past... and for the most part you don't seem to have a very stable life right now so I advise you to wait to have a baby.... from what I read I feel that you are not ready.
In the end we might not know your whole situation but talk to your parents or close friends first and see what they think. Maybe they can give you a better advise. :)
Plz dont right now have a baby!!! We as women on the sight like to hear other women stories but for you situation darling you need to enjoy your life and get your LIFE IN PRIORITY MODE!!! you priority is not having a baby...Plz dont do it...
Sounds like maybe you need to grow up a little and be a stronger women and idivual...
Sorry to sound so harsh, but I feel that with you drama that you are no close to having a baby at this time in your life..
well i think my mind has been playing tricks on me ...lol i had the IUD removed on july 21 and had my AF on aug 10 last 4-5 day which has always been nrmal for me. we have had unprotected sex since and i was not tracking my ovulation at the time but i have been also going to fertiltyfriend.com and saw that i was very fertile on aug 20-23 and that was a GOOD WEEKENS for us....lol . i feel like i could be pregnant but i think its my mind and wishful thinking...Does that make since..lol i took a pregnancy test yesterday and it was neg but i am not due for my Af until next week.. so how soon can you take a pregnancy test and get accurate results?
Sorry you can't read what i write. I left what he had said and added to it. I'm mad at him because I did not want everyone to no everything about me. Im asking u how would u feel if someone told the world about ur life. To put it out there I cant spell well and when im pissed i cant think will when im writing sorry.I think its funny that u can tell me im wrong for wanting to have a kid with my boyfriend. We have been together for 3 years and when a dump truck hit my car and i was in the ER for 2 weeks he skiped work for 2 weeks to stay they with me. When i came home he was the one taking care of me and he still his. im on SSDI because of my back and my sweetheart is having some health prublems and if he has to have surger to fix it after he mite not be abole to have kids so sorry if im 22 and cant spell well but we would like to have kids now. So after the surger if he cant we will have hour own baby. Now that u no everything about me I hope u are happy. O HE IS 30 YEARS OLD AND IM 22!!!! I dont no but i gusse im wrong about some of u girls. u say to me i was 17 or 19 or 16 when i had a baby and then u sit here and say to me i should not have a kid or leave my boyfriend. But u girls come on here and say im fighting with my boyfriend or husban so i guss maybe next month. MAYBE U SHOULD LOOK AT YOUR OWN LIFES.
Yes, it's probably too early. That's what happened to me. My iud removal was july 13, and I tested one week early and it was neg. but one week after it was positive. So wait (I know it's hard) but test in a couple of days.
mandy when we told you that we were young and had a child it was to help you understand and not make the same mistake we did... No our children are not mistakes but i am sure most of us here would have waited if we know what we know now... I have not read where any of us are putting out on here that we are fighting with our husbands, when we say Maybe next month its because our husband is out of town or we didnt concieve this month.. All of us ladies in here are just trying to help and give you advice that is what this forum is here for. we did not ask you to put your life story out here for us, but unfortunitly you story was put on here and if i must say what you wrote was very confusing and disturbing and we all here only want what is best for anyone, no one was trying to be mean but if you didnt want advice or comments then this is not the forum for you.......
just to tell u, u cant ever be ready for a baby, it does not meder what u do, to get ready u never no whats going to happen or how the baby will be and i think maybe i will find a difft web site . now that i have a house and have my wedding date set. im going to start my family thanks for trying to tell me what to do i dont need a mother i have one. i was on here looking for friends. i think maybe some of u should think about what you say before u say it and look back on ur post and see ur life is not the best. good bye for now
p.s he has a 3 1/2 year old i have been her mommy for 3 years now her mom did not want her. so i no what its like to take care of a baby. thank u!!!
yes my life had drama before not anymore thank u for telling me how u feel
i will have pic up if u would like to see
Mandyjune1987 - I am very sorry that you got upset, like nina311 said, we were just trying to help you and giving you advise. NOW, after reading your replies....... YEAH YOU DEFINITELY ARE 22 AND SHOULD WAIT TO HAVE A BABY!!!
Well I agree with nina311, airforce_wife and Sweeety09, 36momof3 . . . . . . . .
and prob all the girls are thinking the same. We've all stuck with you trying to comprehend your posts and at the same time trying to help you and you completely turn on all the girls here trying to help you. Maybe this isn't the forum for you. We all help and care for eachother here, not act childish about the reality.
Baby dust to ALL *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
ok so i have been reading other forums and have any of you heard or the "instead softcup"? well the ladies on there say that after thier partner does his deed they insert the soft cup and leave it in until the next morning( it holds the sperms in close) a few of them after using them for a month have become pregnant..... just wanted to share the news that i read about.. i personally have never heard of them butyou can buy them at walmart and target ... and there only like 6 bucks for a 10 pack or something...lol
This is crazy! I miss a few days of posting and it seems like all heck as broke loose! I'll be 23 years old in 5 days. My mom had a baby when I was 18. Now I know I just posted that I had a chemical pregnancy (not planning on having kids yet) but I know that I am still too young to have kids. I experienced first had for 3 years how it is to raise a child. I have a very good job, my fiance has a very good job, we are planning on getting married in June, and we have our own place together but I still don't think it's the time to go rushing into a pregnancy. I was excited when I was pregnant and upset when I found out I had miscarried but it was also alittle relieving because there are a lot of other steps that need to happen first.
Mandy I know how it is to be anxious about having a child, I am your age! I really think you two need to concentrate on getting healthy and making sure you can financially handle raising a child. What if something happens during your boyfriends surgery or what not and now suddenly you are having a baby by yourself? Are you really in good health to handle having a child? If you think you are then I wish you all the best but I really hope you consider what having a child really means!
*nina311 I'm confused...I thought you were pregnant?? Maybe I'm misreading something somewhere??
Good Luck and Congrats to everyone who is trying or is pregnant!!
Hey girl, I'm in the same boat as you!!!!!!! Had my last period on Aug 1O, but I used opk's and ovulated on Aug 24. I also took a preg test yesterday and it was negative:{. Lets give it more time and we'll find out soon!!!! (I'm testing again tomorrow @ 11dpo) By next week hopefully we'll get the big answer. Are you having any symptoms??? Keep me posted please. Good Luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
all i can say is we are not your mother and we cant tell you what to do the girls are just giving advice its up to you if you want to listen or not so everyone lets move on to what the topic is about conceiving after the mirena
i was having light cramping for about 3 nights a week ago or so but now i just feel weird..lol hard to explian almost as if my mind is playing tricks on me..lol im not as bloated as i get before i start so who knows . you keep me posted too. when did you get your iud out? are you having any signs yet? i think i am gonna hold off on taking another one until monday or tuesday if i had not started... GOODLUCK TO YOU TOO AND EVERYONE ELSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BABY DUST ON ALL*****************************
It's actually been pretty rainy! yuck! I hope this stinkin' tropical storm falls a part too! I went through Jeanne, Francis, and Wilma 3 years ago and it stunk! We've been really lucky about not getting hit in the last few years so let's keep it that way!
Do you know what your chances of getting pregnant are after you miscarry? My friend told me I could get pregnant because we were having sex without protection when I thought I was still pregnant. Just thought you might know!
IUD (paraguard) was removed on July 13 but we used protection that month, but not in Aug. Um I have NO symptoms what so ever! ERRRR. I know it's still early but I'm anxious. When did your IUD come out? I know I should wait to test but I ordered 5 Pg tests that are sensitive to 15 mIU and since they're there everytime I go Pee, it's just too tempting to wait. Ugh, I'm weak,
I have to tell you I have never had a miscarriage. But one of my friends had one and she got pregant again with in less than 3month with her 5th child...So i am sure that it is possible as soon as you give you body a rest to build up on your uterus lining...Take prenatal vitiamins asap and then when you feel that you are ready and have had a chance to heal then go with it....
I think everyone gets really anxious when they have pregnancy tests laying around and then you drive yourself crazy when they aren't around thinking "Oh I know I'm pregnant now" haha. Good Luck and Baby Dust to you!!
i had mine taking out on july 21 i had no bleeding or spotting when the doctor took it out.. i was due for my AF on aug 10 and it came as normal, my AFs have been very normal with my iud and before and after , as of aug. also we have not beein using protection. when i went on the fertilty site it said that i was very firtile that weekend we had lots of fun :) so who knows. if i had pregnancy test laying aroung i would be the same way it so hard not to drive to rite aid and grab one but i already tested once and it was neg so i am gonna wait it out...lol unless you get a BFP then i am so going the day you tell us... and grab one...lol I hope you do!!!!!!!!!!
I hope we get lucky:} I also had no bleeding post removal, but my period was delayed 1O days.Uhm, I think I'll wait till Sat or Sun to re-test (IF I CAN). If you can't help yourself and end up driving to Rite Aid and get a POSITIVE, I'd have to test as soon as I found out.
Sooooo...still no sign of AF. It has been 31 days since I had the IUD taken out. I bled 2 days after removal for 2 days then spotting for over a week. I was not counting that as AF since it was only 2 days after IUD removal. Do you think it was AF? Anyway, I did not have periods while I had the IUD (for 4 years) so not sure when I am due. But it seems 31 days is a long time since I used to be every 27-28 days. My temps are still rising on my BBT.........HELP.....I am going crazy.
NO, the dr. has not called me yet and it's driving me crazy!!!!
I even have the urge to drive over there just so they can tell me (I even called and told the nurse that I needed to confirm and rule out the chemical pregrnancy so I could tell my hubby..I thought she would give in to that, but she didn't and said I'd have to wait til DR. calls me back:(
I have been having mild cramping, but I guess everything SHOULD be Okay.... right??? or as long as there is no bleeding?? Does anyone know?? HELP??
I used to work for an OB/GYN (I am an RN) and as long as you are not bleeding then you should be ok. Light cramping is normal in pregnancy for some women. And I understand what you are saying about your results...I would NOT BE HAPPY if I had to wait as long as you have for the results!!!!
So like period cramps are okay?? Everytime I fell cramping I almost run to restroom to see if I'm bleeding but I'm not. I just have lots of discharge. Is that normal too?? And another question can a blood pregnancy test rule out a chemical pregnancy or when will I know if I'm out of that chemical pregnancy zone??? If you can answer it would really be helpfull. Thanks.
i hate the waiting game do you have a drs appointment coming up? if so i hope they tell you your levels before then if not you would have to ask them at the appointment im sure its not bad because usually with bad news they get back to you quick
Cramping is normal as long as it is not really painful. Discharge really is not a concern either...could be lots of things causing that. Yes the blood test is one portion that can rule out a chemical pregnancy, the Dr will look at the amount of HCG present. There are certain amounts for preganancy timeframes. Sometimes you will have to get another 1 or 2 blood HCG tests to see if they are increasing at the right rate. If the HCG level is of concern, then the DR will ususally perform a sonogram to confirm pregnancy. The yolk sac can be seen fairly early on a sono, heart beat is usually seen later like at 9-10 weeks on a sono. Hope this helps.
Hello ladies...im new to the forum. i had my mirena removed on august 20. i bled 3 days after removal and it lasted for 3 days. i never had a period for the 3 years i had the mirena. i have had brownish discharge for the past 3-4 days now. we have had plenty of activity too. i think i was ovulating when i had the mirena removed too. what do you ladies think? we are trying to conceive baby #4!
i had my iud out june 13 and have had AF 3 time now it start 2 day after it was out and again 28 day later. Then it took 33 day to start again and im ovulation late this month what dose that meen. Is AF going to be late again.
For u that have had child or going to have a baby soon how long did it take u?
my body is pretty messed up. had the iud out about 3 weeks ago. had heavy bleeding for about 3 days. stopped for about a week then came back for 3 days. stopped again and then had some spotting after sex 2 days later. grrrrrr!!!
i never had the ewcm before with my other kids, that i can remember anyway. does anyone know any other ways to tell if you are ovulating? i heard that you can tell by the position of the cervix. mine is very high and soft and when im not bleeding there is alot of discharge. just wet and clear. im pretty sure i have felt the ovulation cramps too but it could just be my head. i have no idea if im ovulating or not or if i will be soon. any ideas would be greatly appeciated. THANKS!!!
Sorry, I know I'm super late for this but everybody had their say, so i will too.
mandyjune1987 - so what if you can't type. i know lots of people who can't spell/type or whatever but i think we all got the gist of what you were trying to say on most of your posts. your past ***** but you have to move forward and it sounds like you have. all of you including my self who had children at a young age, you're right. it is a challenge, even a slap in the face. having a baby is not easy in the slightest bit. but i don't think it matters if you are 15 or 45, you're in for a shock. I guess what i'm trying to say is if you're ready for a baby and you and your man are happy, then HAVE A BABY! who am i or anyone else on here to tell you that you shouldn't. i'm sure everyone on here has the best intentions with their comments, but bottom line is it's nobody's business but your own.
thank u for saying that! im sorry if i sounded like a *****. MY hole family is behind me and my boyfriend is too. my mom just always thought i would be married first like i told her we have a date now just going to have a baby first. For not having **** behind me for the most part it is. but thinks did happen and the only way to work then out is to take it day by day and thats what i have been doing. if u where raped or hurt in anyway u dont just wake up and its gone away it take years to get over it. My family and boyfriend are helping me with that. He is the best think that has ever happen to me and i read everything i said and what was said and i see where u mite have been thinking some of the things u said. i gusse i did not make it clear and im sorry for getting mad at u. it just sounded like u girls where trying to talk me out of what i have been dreaming about. like i said he has one kid and i have been her mom for 3 years and im the one that does everything in the house and for her. And i take care of him. i have not worked in 3 years for the most part. im a stay at home mom and im healthy for the most part, i do have a bad back. and i would not have put everything out there if my brother did not write what he did. I no having a baby is hard and a lot of work but i will be fine and my kids will be fine thank u for trying to help me anyway.
i wish all of u good luck
nina311- I am about on the same schedule as you. My AF is two days late. I am anxious to test but I am holding out till Sunday to see if I'm just late. I feel like **** this morning. I guess that is a good sign :)
Mandyjune- Good luck to you. As they say, "Those that live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones." My only advice would be to stick to the pregnancy and mirena topic. Otherwise, you get all kinds of unsolicited advice. Hope your Mother has a good surgery and heals quickly.
i am waiting .....lol i almost went and bought a PT but i am waiting lol im to nervous...... i had something odd happen to me this morning , while brushing my teeth i started gagging which i never do and i was to the point i got sick...lol i dunno why .. has this ever happened to anyone? i was feeling a little quiezy this morning so maybe that caused it...
Ok I am 3 days past my mirena removal and I am in a very bad mood and extremly tired. I am snppy at everyone around me. I am wondering if anyone else has had this kind of mood swings this early after removal? I was expecting it to hit just not this early!!!
This morning I caught myself snapping at the kids on our way to school for playing to loudly!!! That is not me!!! I can usually tune them out (unless the are fighting). Is this normal? Also still no bleeding a little spatting yesterday and now it is over. So I am wondering if I do start bleeding in the next few weeks should I consider that AF?
I know this is allot of questions but I feel out of control with this! maybe it is just hormones starting to get to me.
I just wanted to tell you guys that the Dr. finally called and had me go into the office and told me that It's not a chemical pregnancy, and I got to see the baby!!! So I started telling people that I'M PREGO.
I dont no if Im just being overly parinoid but I took a pg test tuesday and a faint positive showed but and today took another one and the line is not getting much darker! I no I sound stupid but Im just so scared of miscarrying
you are pregnant i guarntee that.....Call the dr today and said you got a faint line...and you dont want to wait until next week for this and you want a blood test to confirm this...they will get you in for that right away...I had the same thing happen to me...
The Mirena makes your body act like its pregnant which in turn prevents pregnancy. It releases hormones and thins out the lining of your uterus. Now that you had it removed, it is very common for you to bleed afterwords and also cause you to be "moody." This is normal and unpleasant but once your body starts regulating itself again you will feel better. Also, the bleeding that you had is not considered your AF. It takes about 2 to 3 months for your body to regulate itself again but it isn't impossible for you to start ovulating like you normally would. Hope this helps!
I am almost 29 years old. I just had Mirena taken out on August 28th to TTC after having it for 4 1/2 years. Now it is all I can think about!! I think more than anything it is just that I don't know at all what is going on with my body so can't plan anything yet. I bled almost constantly for the first year that I had it in. Since then for last three and a half years I didn't bleed at all!! So I had it removed last Friday and as soon as I left the dr's office I started really bleeding! Not to be too graphic here but like a period not just trauma from having it out. A lot of clotting! That only lasted for about 5 hours and nothing since. I really want to start planning and don't know if that was a period or what? Any suggestions?? Like I said just can't think about much else!!
when i was pregnant with my first i was sick the first 5months i gagged everytime i brushed my teeth you might be pregnant i would test if you feel pregnant
Still nothing has changed! Not a single symptom (except a tiny bit of nausea but I think it's phsychological). I took a test this morning and of course, NEGATIVE !!! ERRR. Now I'm going to wait till Monday and re-test!!!! How about you? symptoms?
i just took a PT and it was a BIG FAT NEG!!!!!!!!! so i am just gonna wait it out and see, i was also told you should test in the morning ( its 2:20 pm here) so who knows! If not i will keep having fun trying...lol i gagged this morning while brushing my teeth which is not normal for me at all.. but like you i think its all phsychological. well maybe i will wait til sunday morning and retest i bought 2 ...lol
I did use the first morning pee and still got a BFN!!! Well we'll see what results you get on Sunday. Hopefully you get a BFP :} I'm going to try to wait till Mon (If I could wait)Well our periods aren't due till next week and the game is not over yet until that big fat lady (whose not welcome) shows up and crashes our party! There's still hope.
i should start around the 9th or 10th give or take a day, so its still to early to test i believe. i am going to wait til tuesday , maybe... if i can... ugh i just wanna know already..
I am right there with you. I had my IUD out after 4 years on 8/4/09. So it has been 32 days since removal an still no AF. I did bleed 2 days after removal for 2 days then spotted for a week or so. I did get a + OPK 8/29/2009 so I am hopeful that I did ovulate...we had plenty of fun during that time. I am a bit older that you, 35, so I feel like I am running out of time. I am using Fertilityfriend.com to chart my BBT, CM, and BD actvity to try and find a pattern for my cycle. That may help you.
Hey I have a question for you...my first sign was i was getting up in the middle of the night to pee...That so not like me.... that is the first sign I had...then I took pregnancy test 3days prior to my period and I had a faint line pregnant....So i went to the Dr next day for blood test and BFP...So it could be early..When are you doing for AF?
I haven't been on here too long, but i've been pretty regular w/my AF since I had my IUD out 5/1/09 I'm due for my AF today, but I had UTI and I don't know if that's messing up my AF. When I went to the doctor on wednesday they said i wasn't prego but that was a pee test two days before my AF was due. I don't feel like I'm going to start, But I don't feel prego either. I know we TTC when I was ovulating. I might test tomorrow. Or I can wait the weekend out.
Hi everyone! I am new to posting comments here but I am not new to this thread. I have been following it for a little over a month now, all the good the bad and the ugly, lol. I had my Mirena removed on July 21st and I, like many of you, thought that we would get pregnant right away since our first 2 pregnancies happened so easily. But then, like many of you, I realized that it might not be so easy. I didn't have a period at all during the 3 years I had my Mirena and before that I was either pregnant, breast feeding or both, so no periods then either. We're talking 6+ years without an AF! So I have no idea what my cycle is. I had my first AF on Aug. 25 and so my question is; if you don't know how many days your cycle is do you simply base it on a 28 cycle and count 14 days up from the first day of your last period to get your ovulation day?
I am very excited for all you ladies out there, especially the ones who have already gotten their BFPs. I check once a day to see who else is preggers, especially you nina311 'cuz I know we got our IUDs out on the same date! Best of luck to all of you. I feel like I know you all already.
I haven't had to any test lately. The doctor did one and it was right. I got my AF late last night. But I guess it's a good sign. I'm still right about 28-29 day cycle. The waiting game is so hard. My son needs a sibling to play with.
I AM FREAKING OUT. I had a miscarriage approx 3 weeks ago. I was told my uterus was empty the morning I was bleeding and went to see my OB doc. She took bloodwork that same day and the next which came back for the first day at 300+ and the next days bloodwk came back at 3. something. SO she said I miscarried and I should take a preg test in a week or 2 and it should be negative. Well I took one last night and it shows positive. WHAT ??? Is wrong with me. Has this happened to you? My honey and I have not had protected sex and I am suppose to start today or latest tomorrow. I took the clear blue easy and it says accurate within 5 days before your missed period. HELP????
ANYONE:
I am so confused. Can someone tell me if this is normal or what please. I had my mirena removed on 8/24 i spotted a little that day. Then on 8/26 i started bleeding and didnt stop until 9/1 ! No bleeding at all the 2nd or 3rd. Then yesterday afternoon (the 4th) i started flowing alot. Is this my period? or is it still my body regulating from the mirena getting removed? I had my mirena for 2 1/2 years and never had a normal period. It was like once every three months or random months. SOME ONE PLEASE HELP IF ANY IDEA!
hello!! i was on here a couple of months ago.. i havent felt like getting on since my bad news.. well i had three positive pregnancy tests even at the doctors office... then three days past my missed period i started bleeding so i went to the docs and they told me there was no baby.. they did a blood test and the levels were showing tha ti was never pregnant.. not even a misscairage.. i had symptoms and i am still confused by it all. it was very hard since i had already been planning ahead and telling everyone.. so people would ask me about how far i was and i would have to explain. me n my husband agreed that if there is a next time anytime soon we will wait a couple months before telling anyone......so we are currently still ttc...
ok i woke up around 2 this morning to the worst cramps i have ever had and i was bleeding and and still am so i think i am having my AF and i never been early before.. i dont know what to say...
Well I hope next month will be your month : ) My game is still not over but I'm really anxious and nervous!!!!!!! I really hope my period doesn't show up.
kind of similar here...
i had my mirena removed 8/17(monday) and i spotted just a little that day. nothing until thursday where i had some clotting and heavy bleeding for about 5-6hrs and that was it. then i was clear and dry until wednesday(9/2) of this week. i have had some crazy heavy heavy bleeding and major clotting for 4 going on 5 days. this i would assume is AF. I never had a period the whole 2 years i had my mirena. my guess is that your first time bleeding was your body cleaning itself out and maybe this second go around is your actual AF. but who knows...
Mandy just dont jump in to having a baby because its something to do the most precious things in life are worth waiting for!!! Good luck to you and i hope you the best!
We both have kids of our own but want to have a baby from both of us, we are adults, have pretty decent jobs, stability, and the kids that are very excited to have a baby brother or sister... but i would not even think about it if i didn't have my partnet to share this with.
I know women that have kids on their own because they are old and not married, but you are very young and i am pretty sure you can wait a little for the right man to have the baby with. :)
married. I have two kids from a previos relationship,a four yr old and another who will be 3 this month. I had my IUD Mirena in for 3 years, since my last son was born, who is now going to be 3 years old. I was told by my doctor that I would be able to get pregnant immediately after I remove my IUD,...but from reading all these comments and issues with having trouble getting pregnant after having the IUD, I'm getting a little nervous and uneasy about it??I'm a little confused, because what I had understood is that the Mirena did not have hormones,...so I'm not sure why I was told otherwise??Can anybody help...My husband and I really want to get pregnant, but I havent even had a regular period for about 4 years?????How long before I can expect to get pregnant, or even start a normal ovulation. We have intercourse regularly, and are anticipating conception???But can I even get pregnant without having a period first...Please help.....Its been a month already, and I've taken several pregnancy tests, and ovulation test and NOTHING??????
I just wanted to say that I am not convinced that Mirena causes any issues for people to get pregnant. There are plenty of folks on here that have gotten pregnant right away or within the first couple of months. Yes, there are some people that have chemical pregnancies and other issues but that happens with or without the use of Mirena.
Some of the girls may not agree with me on this one. But, remember that on average you only have 25% chance of getting pregnant each month with a healthy couple (no issues).
The other side of the coin is that if you had issues while the mirena was inserted then you are more likely to have issues getting pregnant. But, if you had a relatively smooth experience then you should be just fine. This forum is good... just try not to stress yourself out or you won't ovulate. Good luck to you!
before i met chris thats my sweetheart now. i wasdating a guy for 5 years he would hit me and beet me all the time he yelled at me all the time and i could not do anything right. When i try to leave he hurt me so bad i lusse my baby. that baby was my only way out. so i stady and one day he left for work my friend took me to the court house. And i got papers on him and i went and had the state cops go and give him the paper that day at work. he came home i was so scared and he was mad about the papers and his keys would not work i had the lucks change and i was so mad at him the day i got the papers on him. i came home from work and my friend was in my bed with him i lost it and he kick my *** for walking in my house and going in my bedroom . he was living with me at the time.it was my place. so i got the papers. i lived on the 3rd flour and when he got home i was thowing his clothes out the windows. was raped over and over for years they said i should be abole to have kids but i think it has something to do with it. when i lose the baby i did not see a dr right away i hope that did not **** me right up. so im at the ponit i dont care anymore i want a baby with or with a guy
I DID NOT WRIGHT THIS MY BROTHER HE IS 14 AND WAS ON MY COMPUTER I DID NOT CLOSE THIS PAGE HE WAS THINK IT WOULD BE FUNNY TO MAKE FUN OF WHAT HAPPEN TO ME AND SOME IS NOT TRUE SORRY WHEN I WRIGHT THE LAST POST I DID NOT SEE THIS
I DID DATE A GUY FOR 5 YEARS AND HE DID, HURT ME. I MOVED IN WITH HIM WHEN I WAS 16 AND I DID GET PREGANT AND I FILL DOWN THE STAIRS WHEN WE WERE FIGHTING. MY FAMILY THINKS HE PUSHED ME HE DID NOT. When i try to leave he hurt me BECAUSE HE DID NOT WANT ME TO LEAVE WITH HIS BABY I NO THAT DONT MAKE IT RIGHT. BUT THAT WAS THE LAST TIME HE HURT ME. I LEAVE HIM, SORRY I DID NOT MEEN TO DID NOT WORK FOR ME ANYMORE I WAS 19 AND JUST FINSHING HIGHTSCHOOL. I WAITED TO I WAS DONE WITH HIGHSCHOOL SO I COULD GET MY OWN PLACE and I took him back this time he moved in with me and it started all over i told him to get out he hit me so i got papers on him and had the key change he hit me because i told him to get out if he want to sleep with my friend live with her.and yes i lived on the 3rd flour and when he got home i was thowing his clothes out the windows. and i was raped when i was like 5 to i was 10 years old by a friend of the family and i did get help for that when i was a child. and i am still get help for what my dad and my ex did to me and i wil be working on that **** for a long time i have been with chris for a few years and im happy for ones in my live yes we have prublems just like all .of u guys and yes its hard, he work 2 jobs and its hard to put time aSide to have sex that day. so we can have a baby he saving up money for christmass and the baby stuff we are going to need he going to stop work so much after the baby come. yes i hate that he work so much but i no y hes doing it. so it does make it hard to get pregant. my brother most have hurd me talking to my mom about him working all the time and she say to me she want me to wait to im married i said i am getting marred in a few years, she said what will u do if u brack up i said take care of my baby by myself .My brother knows about the rape and what my ex did to me and i set him down and talked to him he saw u girl writing about ur prublems and he no about my he was think he would try to be funny and tell my life story.
After reading what you wrote, it seems to me that whatever happend to you in the past is not really in the past... and for the most part you don't seem to have a very stable life right now so I advise you to wait to have a baby.... from what I read I feel that you are not ready.
In the end we might not know your whole situation but talk to your parents or close friends first and see what they think. Maybe they can give you a better advise. :)
Sounds like maybe you need to grow up a little and be a stronger women and idivual...
Sorry to sound so harsh, but I feel that with you drama that you are no close to having a baby at this time in your life..
good luck to u girls having babys
I hope all is going well, and keep us posted on how the pregnancy goes!
p.s he has a 3 1/2 year old i have been her mommy for 3 years now her mom did not want her. so i no what its like to take care of a baby. thank u!!!
yes my life had drama before not anymore thank u for telling me how u feel
i will have pic up if u would like to see
Everyone - lets move on! :)
and prob all the girls are thinking the same. We've all stuck with you trying to comprehend your posts and at the same time trying to help you and you completely turn on all the girls here trying to help you. Maybe this isn't the forum for you. We all help and care for eachother here, not act childish about the reality.
Baby dust to ALL *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Mandy I know how it is to be anxious about having a child, I am your age! I really think you two need to concentrate on getting healthy and making sure you can financially handle raising a child. What if something happens during your boyfriends surgery or what not and now suddenly you are having a baby by yourself? Are you really in good health to handle having a child? If you think you are then I wish you all the best but I really hope you consider what having a child really means!
*nina311 I'm confused...I thought you were pregnant?? Maybe I'm misreading something somewhere??
Good Luck and Congrats to everyone who is trying or is pregnant!!

Neh not for me. I'll pass. :)
BABY DUST ON ALL*****************************
Do you know what your chances of getting pregnant are after you miscarry? My friend told me I could get pregnant because we were having sex without protection when I thought I was still pregnant. Just thought you might know!
Best of luck
I even have the urge to drive over there just so they can tell me (I even called and told the nurse that I needed to confirm and rule out the chemical pregrnancy so I could tell my hubby..I thought she would give in to that, but she didn't and said I'd have to wait til DR. calls me back:(
I have been having mild cramping, but I guess everything SHOULD be Okay.... right??? or as long as there is no bleeding?? Does anyone know?? HELP??
For u that have had child or going to have a baby soon how long did it take u?
i never had the ewcm before with my other kids, that i can remember anyway. does anyone know any other ways to tell if you are ovulating? i heard that you can tell by the position of the cervix. mine is very high and soft and when im not bleeding there is alot of discharge. just wet and clear. im pretty sure i have felt the ovulation cramps too but it could just be my head. i have no idea if im ovulating or not or if i will be soon. any ideas would be greatly appeciated. THANKS!!!
mandyjune1987 - so what if you can't type. i know lots of people who can't spell/type or whatever but i think we all got the gist of what you were trying to say on most of your posts. your past ***** but you have to move forward and it sounds like you have. all of you including my self who had children at a young age, you're right. it is a challenge, even a slap in the face. having a baby is not easy in the slightest bit. but i don't think it matters if you are 15 or 45, you're in for a shock. I guess what i'm trying to say is if you're ready for a baby and you and your man are happy, then HAVE A BABY! who am i or anyone else on here to tell you that you shouldn't. i'm sure everyone on here has the best intentions with their comments, but bottom line is it's nobody's business but your own.
i wish all of u good luck
my mom has to have open heart surger in the morning and im scared out of my mide.
has anyone heard of the new test out for woman it a Fertility Test u can do at home
Mandyjune- Good luck to you. As they say, "Those that live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones." My only advice would be to stick to the pregnancy and mirena topic. Otherwise, you get all kinds of unsolicited advice. Hope your Mother has a good surgery and heals quickly.
BabiesRus2 any great news yet???? and signs???
This morning I caught myself snapping at the kids on our way to school for playing to loudly!!! That is not me!!! I can usually tune them out (unless the are fighting). Is this normal? Also still no bleeding a little spatting yesterday and now it is over. So I am wondering if I do start bleeding in the next few weeks should I consider that AF?
I know this is allot of questions but I feel out of control with this! maybe it is just hormones starting to get to me.
Thank for any help!
SO YOU GOT TO SPILL THE BEANS YET TO EVERYONE?
