New Mirena

[jadoreg]

When am I suppose to get my period? I had my Mirena removed on July 1, 2010. I had it in for two years. We are wanting to try and conceive and all i read about is the old type of Mirenas. But mine was not the copper one.

I know. I finally got it on  8/6/10. YAY!. I actually got the Shettles book. I'm hoping it works!

Your very welcome =0) I know the exact same feeling, I thought that I would be one of those girls that got lucky and got pregnant right away (so much for that lol). If your trying for a girl have you heard of the Chinese Birth Chart? It has worked for my first son and now with this lil guy as well, it's pretty crazy we've tried it to a whole bunch of people and it has been correct for about 95% of them, I know it wont work with multiples though. I also did the sex selection thing by using the Shettles method to get another boy and it worked for me =0) I know with the Shettles method if you want a girl you have to baby dance before ovulation. I wish you the very best of luck =0)

Thank you!. I'm just not a very patient person and I'm trying to be! The dr told me it should only take 4 weeks to start a period well four weeks passed and nothing so she said wait till 6. If you dont start we will give you something. And see thats where I'm worried with the lining. The dr said you can start trying whenever you want! I really want a little girl. We have our little boy and I want to try that sex selection thing just to see if it works so I will need to track it for a couple of cycles But I'm really ancy and it seems like its taking forever!

I had my IUD (Mirena) inserted on June 13, 2007 after I had my son and had it removed on July 2, 2009, it took me 39 days before I got my first period, and I know some women who it's taken 90+ days to receive their first period. Your body's just trying to get back to normal, I know how frustrating it can be while your sitting in lingo, not sure weather your pregnant or when your first period will show up, but try to be patient it will happen when the time is right! Also your body will play tricks on you after the removal that make you think that your pregnant, I myself went through these, and boy are they not fun, especially since period and pregnancy symptoms are so similar. Most women will agree that the bleeding after removal is just removal bleeding not a period. Also I know a very few women who have gotten pregnant right away after removal, so anything is possible, but most Dr's will advise you to wait at least one cycle so that your uterus lining is thick to hold the baby. It took me almost 7 months till I finally got my BFP (Big Fat Positive). Also I would start taking prenatal vitamins ASAP, my Dr told me to start taking them 3 months prior to conceiving to make sure that your body is ready to go. I am currently 32 weeks and 2 days pregnant with a healthy baby boy. Good luck and hope this helps!
