Just had merina taking out and trying to concieve - question regarding periods

[Jennie1975]

Hi everyone

Me and my partner have decided that at 33 we are ready to start trying for a baby! I'm very excited as it will be our first! I've been on many forms of contraception starting with the pill from the age of 17 and then the past 4 years I had the merina. I didn't have a period for the whole 4 years, however I despite not actually bleeding I felt like I had the normal PMT feelings (very odd?!) I had the merina removed 2 weeks ago and had no bleeding straight after it was removed like a lot of people seem to have and no period yet. I realise it's early days and can take some time to get your period back, however I have had sex recently and have no idea if I could be pregnant as I haven't had a period! I guess my question is - do I have to have a period first after having the merina removed in order to become pregnant? I hope that makes sense!

Many thanks to anyone who replies!

I had mine in for 2 years and the whole time i got my period regularly and got it removed when i was on my period, ive been having pregnancy symptoms but the tests are negative, i dont know how long it will take me due to the fact that ive always gotten my period throughout the whole time.

i was in the same situation after 2 kids we thought that was it had merina put in for 4 yr then had it taken out to conceive again last year we are both very fertile and it still took us 4 months after having merina removed b'coz of the hormones in it
good luck

Thanks for your reply Spade :)

No you dont.   A period comes after you ovulate and the egg is not fertilized.

You can take a home pregnancy test about 2 weeks after possible conception.
