how soon does period resume after iud removal

[mrsoconnor]

Morning all this is my first time posting on here,,but here goes..............


Well i have had the copper coil (non-hormone) in since 13th Dec 06 and got it removed on 24th Feb the day before my period was due.
The reason for the removal was because on my last period on the 27th Jan 09 which i normally bleed abt a week, well after i had spotting 3days later wich was very unusual so checked the strings and i could feel the end of the iud coming out.... as i wasnt in pain  i didnt make an dr app straight away but as the mth went on it became more uncomfatabe my ptnr an i did have sex all the way through till the 18th of Feb, took a preg test at the dr b4 removal but neg, i thought this anyway as my period wasnt due till the next day.
Well the day the coil was out i bleed was very light and little then yesterday i thought i was starting my period in the evening but it stopped again, today i have slight back pain and very light brown ish mucus??????????
Im not due to go bk for a refit of the coil till 11th march09, and will do another preg test in the morn of the 11th at the dr.
I was told by the dr that the coil would not be effictive while it was coming out.
Any ideas much appreciated

I've had the same results, and keep wondering where's my period.  I had the my copper IUD removed on March 6, and expected my period on the 13th.  Now it is March 24, and 6 negative pregnancy tests later, I have to accept that it will just be a miss!  I was never told to expect this, nor have I been able to find any real info online regarding it, either.

You guys seem similar to my case. I had my IUD removed on April 20th. I had the AF two days later and my period on the 5th of May.  My husband and I are ttc but my stomach is on fire right now. I haven't taking a test yet cause it is way to soon.  I told him we would wait till June but man I don't know. I'm thinking about going to see my doctor next week.

i got my iud (mirena) removed on may 28th. i only had it in for 3 months.....i have not had a period yet but did hav a little bit of dark spotting 2 wks ago. i beelive it should be time for a period cause even on the iud my last one was may 19th. i have been ttc since 3 days after i got it removed, having intercourse on a regular bases...i took a hpt about a 4 or 5 days ago an again today an both came back negative.....could i have taken it to soon??? could i possible be pregnant?? since it was a hormonal iud can i even get pregnant???

[USMCWIFE01]

you are not alone... I had the mirena for a year and a half, last 6 months, no periods.  I thought that was a great thing, not so sure anymore.  I had it removed on June 1, 2009... it is now July 10, 2009, and I still have no period... 3 negative pregnancy tests... and NOTHING on the Ovulation test.  This has been a freakin nightmare.  

[pinay7732]

Hi! well I'm going thru the same thing I had my mirena removed June 02 2009 since I am not sexually active but I did have it in for 8 yrs. it is now August and still no period :(  I'm getting concerned... I went to the gyno in July she said it was normal to miss periods but how long can it take before its "not normal"  Can anybody help??

[alj10302005]

Same here...the reason I looked this up is because I got my IUD removed July 26th had a normal period right after it was removed and then my period was due Aug 25th and now nothing no period...3 negative pregnancy test??? Don't get it. Before the IUD I always had normal periods the only time I ever missed a period was when I was pregnant with my other two kids so I don't know what is going on. I am going to retest on Monday and see?? Hope I am pregnant though!!

[maude73]

So glad I found this site!

I had my copper iud removed 08/21/09. Experienced little bleeding from the removal, as it was removed after my period in the hospital. My Dr tried to remove it in July, but it was WAY too painful.

Anyway, I had, what I thought was my period almost two weeks ago during the long weekend, but it was short lived. I have had nothing since.

I have been sitting here wondering what is going on with my body and where the heck is my period.

When I did have my IUD in, my periods would last longer than 5 days and would also have spotting in between. That was the main reason for the removal, to give my body a break.

[angiedowns]

I just wanted to add a comment to this thread.  I was going through exactly the same thing - had the coil removed, had a period then nothing.  I took 2 pregnancy tests which were negative.  I felt pregnant - bloating, sore breasts, tired etc - I googled it and got to this site.  Anyway that was about 8 weeks ago - i was about to go on a long weekend with lots of drinking involved so i took one more test and guess what? It was positive - i have had a scan and i'm 14 weeks pregnant - which means i fell pregnant 1 week after i had the coil removed!  Hopefully this gives some of you guys out there some hope!

[bcwt]

so maybe someone could shed some light for me as well.  Had iud removed 9/14, hubby and I had sex 2 days,5 days then 10 days later.
I have not bled or had any spotting at all since removal of mirena. I know it would be kinda early to test positive, but I have had some strange things going on. I  have had some (sorry...TMI...) weird diarrhea that started about 7 days ago then stopped then started again. I feel kinda funky, but it comes and goes. Just not sure what to expect about ovulation after removal. Any thoughts?

[Mande208]

Thought I would just post my experience, as I am currently going through it :) Got my IUD (Mirena) removed 9/25, started period 2 days later 9/27. We want to ttc, Doc says wait until 3 periods. Our thinking was wait until we have a good one, then start. So, wish us luck! I will keep you posted.

[trukswiss18]

I had my mirena removed 9/3 and had a little spotting for a few days after, which the doctor said was fine. Since ive had the iud i havent really had a period just spotting here and there and i had spotting a couple days before the iud was removed. well geting to the point, its now the 1st and no period and 6 negative tests... My doctor said to just wait till the 15 and test again. im impatient and anxious.... i feel pregnant i just wish a test would tell me.......

[futrtxn]

New to this site but so excited to hear not the only one feeling like body out of control.  Had Mirena removed 9/21 after 3years 8mo.   AF 9/23-10/1 with spotting still.  Did anyone else have similiar problem. We are ttc and hoping to be pregnant before the end of the year but dont know when to figure af will come again, not to mention kinda hard to try when the spotting never ends.  Husband wont be home till 10/28 so crossing my fingers and toes that af has come and gone by then.  Good luck to all those ttc.

[Mande208]

Well I had AF 9/27 - 10/5 after Mirena was removed. Now done with that part, did anyone else have a pretty serious crash? I sure did.. feeling  better now though. Have had Mirena out for about 2 weeks now and ttc. Good luck to everyone who is!

[giveitup]

I removed my copper iud this morning because of side effects like cramping and fevers
and have had increased migrains......read about the side effects after I got it put in
august 4th. have had heavier periods and spotting inbetween.  read some of these posts
tonight and am wondering if sence I should be ovulating now if it's possible that i could
end up pregnant from sex last night?  anyone know that answer before i stress about it.

[little_hippie]

So glad i found this site. Im going through the same thing, had coil removed 30/09, tiny bit of bleeding from removel, period was due 7th oct, but didnt come, and still hasnt, i feel like my body is going crazy, i feel bloated and sleepy and needing the loo more then ever, i feel like im pregnant but 3 tests later and each one was a neg :( whats going on?? my doc didnt say anything about missing a period after having the coil taken out, i know its early days to be testing but you never know, we all live in hope! i just wish i knew what was going on with my body right now!! is this a side effect of having the coil taken out??

[Liluingrace]

Crash!?? OMG! my emotions has been an emotional roller coaster, I knew this was going happen, One strange thing though I must mention, I had the IUD Mirena removed about 3 weeks, my husband and I were  trying to get pregnant and had my period that first week, went away after 5 days, free for 4-6 day then woke up on pile of blood and it's been non stop heavy from there.. it's been two days like this.. any one have any suggestions??

[C0W6URL]

I had the largest period I've ever had in my life last month, more blood than when I gave birth to both my kids, btw.  we're talking 4 pads drenched a day.  It went heavy for 7 days then tapered off.  Then I was out of town for a few days and when I came back my husband and I resumed our newlywed fun.  (been married a little over a year). The first night he couldn't feel anything and joked to me that I'd had it removed while out of town (I'd been approaching him about having another child).  After the 4th day I started to worry and found about 500 posts about women who've had Mirena like me that had the false pregnancy symptoms while on it, weight gain, lots of abdominal pain and all the **** I'd gone through with it. FINALLY  I found a section saying call your dr asap.  So I called my dr and she said go to the er and have them find it incase it implanted into your uterine wall.  After a a couple different kinds of ultrasounds they found it, way too high, but then he did a pap on my since I hadn't had one that year and could barely see the strings and I said pull it out!  Well by my reckoning, I should have started my period last week or early this week at the latest but it still hasn't come.  In the ER, they told me that bleeding out of the ordinary could be indicative of pregnancy and I could be with my iud out of place too, even though it had been 4 days.  He did a blood test on me, said they are accurate almost immediately.  it was negative. They told me for a couple days I may spot and have back cramps etc from the iud coming out.  After having personal experiences with being pregnant and having the dr's pee test come up neg, GET A PREGNANCY BLOOD TEST, they will tell you for sure.

I had my Mirena removed 7 months ago.  I had it for 6 years without a single bit of bleeding- no periods.  I loved it (and luckily didn't have issues with cramps, depressions, backaches, that other people get).

After I got it removed there was about four days of spotting- mostly brownish.  Then I got my first real period three weeks later- strange after no period for six years, but a relief.  Since then it has been long gaps but at least somewhat regular, around 35 days cycle. I have been trying to get pregnant but disappointed every time my period comes again or I have a negative pregnancy test.  I'm trying to track my ovulation better now- and hopefully we'll be pregnant within a few more months.

I had the Mirena removed June09. I spotted, then started my period & began taking YAZ. ( i am not hoping to conceive). 4 months later, I have not had a period. I am going to OBG in the morning because the whole situation is causing me major anxiety.

[massage_therapist]

Hi ladies, i had the mirena for less than a year. right away i had the strangest herpes breakout (gross i know but reality), pimples, moodiness, lack of sex drive and about 3 months after i got it placed i was getting heart flutters, 6 months after PID and the nest month PID again.  I had to get it removed I am 5 days out from removal.  The 1st day was spotting now i am gushing.  The nurse told me I may not see a period for 2 weeks to 2 months. because of the hormone. They did ultrasound on my first PID onset, and found that i may have ovulated (not suppose to on the mirena).  Everybody is different and will react different to the hormones.  I fyou fear pregnancy, best advice from cow6url Get blood test.  GOOD LUCK TO ALL.

[jennyvroom]

SO - my OBG doc said it's possible i may not even have any more periods since the Mirena thinned out my uterine lining so much, especially combined with the YAZ. Did the pregnancy blood test just to confirm the negative pee stick tests. Apparently, it's not uncommon to go 4 months w/out a period in these situations! I'm 36. I thought maybe I was pre-pre menopausal. I'm not real comfortable with the whole situation, but I do feel better that I went to the doc & heard some facts.

[Ready_4_Baby_2]

Looks like these IUD post usually get a lot of responses. My experience with the Mirena was pretty good. I had it for over 3 years and my husband wanted another baby so I had it removed in June 09. I got my period the next day and two weeks later I was ovulating and two weeks later I got a postive on the hpt. Now I know my experience probably won't happen for everyone. Some people it takes longer to get pregnant if you choose. The side effects I had with the Mirena were mood swings, weight gain (but not much) no periods (YEAH!) and I think thats about it. I plan on getting it again after I have this baby.

[wanting3RD]

Hi everyone, so great to all come together to discuss intimate problems that we are all going through and we don't even know each other. Love it!!
This is my first time posting but I've been reading all of your posts trying to figure out what is going on with me.
Details- I have 2 boys, 4 & 2, hubbie & I deciding to try for one more.
Since the pregnancy of my first son I haven't really had any periods due to breast feeding and surprise 2nd pregnacy when he was only 9 months.  After my second I got the IUD (Mirena) inserted 6 weeks post partum.  I too loved it!  No period, no cramps or PMSing.
I got it removed Sept 23/09 after a little over 2 years.
My hubbie and I were going to wait until I had one good period before TTC,  We had unprotected sex Oct 2&6 thinking we were safe!!
Well saying that I still haven't been visited by AF,  also feeling quite bloated and "off" No sore boobs or nausea.  Took a pregnancy test last night (negative)
Was it to early to test? I have no idea when my period would be expected but I figured 2 weeks after unprotected sex would be long enough.
Or is this my body just out of sinc since I haven't menstrated for so long??
Thanks for your thoughts in advance!

Hello all,
I had the IUD in for 5 years. During this time I still had light periods. My cycles were very irregular (sometimes 28 days and sometimes 25). On 9/28/09 we had the IUD removed while I was on my period. We are now trying to conceive and have BD like crazy, charted temps, checked cervical mucus and position. On 10/22 I started my period. This period is heavier like before I got the mirrena. I am drinking raspberry tea 2 times a day as I heard that this is good for the uterus, it tones it. If you have any questions about my experience you can e-mail me at carolynelliott.***@****. Thanks!  Also if your curious here is the link to my chart that I have been using for an additonal tool to determine ovulation:

Hey there! My story is similar to yours.  Mirena out 9/2 and short AF 5 days later.  AF came again after 5 weeks and two days.  Thought I was going to loose my mind waiting for it!  Hubby and I used protection for a little while to let my body play catch up.  Didn't use protection other morning and mucus was primo.  When I realized this I was so excited I could hardly contain myself.  Now I have to wait and see.  Not having a clue when to expect AF again is frustrating.  My first pregnancy, I knew I was pregnant when my feet hit the floor, and that was not a planned pregnancy.  Today I have that same weird/off feeling as last time and I just can not shake it.  It is maddening to not even know when to expect AF.

[Ooby]

I had this happen to me.  I had my IUD for 2+ years and each month just before the 28 days were up I got my period, but when I got it removed nothing.  I took a pregnancy test each week from the day I should have gotten my period and all of them were negative. I had the symptoms of pregnancy including nausea and fuller breasts. I finally got my period on day 52 from my LMP.  What a relief!  I didn't want to have a problematic pregnancy that wouldn't even turn a pregnancy test positive, but I wanted to actually start planning and predicting.  Once those hormones left my system I felt a whole lot better!

A note to all!!!... It sounds like MOST of you women need to start using Natural Progesterone cream. Progesterone is so important for your body and hormones to level out the amount of estrogen. Progesterone is also a key factor in thickening your uterus (after months/years of being thinned out!) your uterine walls need to be thicker to hold and protect your baby. I'm reading a lot of women who got pregnant so quickly after the mirena removal... And then miscarried. I would largely blame the fact that your body is just not yet ready to hold a baby. Google natural progesterone and pregnancy. Educate yourselves. Pregnancy is wonderful, but nobody wants to miscarry. By the way, progesterone will help to get your cycles back on track, balance your hormones, and help you start and end a healthy pregnancy.    Laura J.

[vickyster1979]

hi im new to this site and its so nice to hear im not the only one who is totally confused!! I had the mirena coil for 2 and half years had no periods at all. I had it removed 5 weeks ago now and still no period. I had some brown spotting 3 days after its was removed for 2 days and that was it. I did the ovulation tests but they were all negative. Then bout 2 and a hlaf weeks ago i started getting all the symptoms of pregnancy - nausea, awful tiredness, bloatedness, moody, and dizzy. Taken bout 5 pregnancy tests now and all are negative!! Could i still be pregnant or do i feel like this coz i have had the coil taken out???

[vickyster1979]

Hi i have had no periods since having my coil removed nearly 6 weeks ago is progesterone safe to use? Should i consult my doctor first before trying it?
