Hi all, new to this forum but just thought id get some advice. I had my mirena coil removed on 3 days ago and had no bleeding the day after but then had slight bleeding for last 2 days, can anyone tell me if this will be my period as i never had any bleeding while i had the mirena in which i had for nearly 3 years. Me and my partner are wanting to try for another baby but not sure when will be ' my most fertile time' lol. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance :)

Thank you for your advice. Its been 2 weeks on monday since i had it removed and had no bleeding since, boobs slightly tender at the minute but no sign of a period as yet. No idea when i will be ovulating as no idea when my period will come and its been a couple of years since i had a proper one as i never bled with the mirena.  Thanks for your reply very much appreciated. :)

Hello,
This bleeding is due to removal of the Mirena coild and is due to hormonal changes. Fertility is restored soon after Mirena is removed. For conception, try having intercourse every month around your ovulation days as it is the best time for conceiving. Ovulation is the release of a single, mature egg from a follicle that developed in the ovary. It usually occurs regularly, around day 14 of a 28-day menstrual cycle. The best timing of intercourse in order to conceive is day 10, 12, 14 and 16 (in case of late ovulation) of a 28 day cycle. After intercourse, do not wash immediately and keep on lying for some time. You can also keep a pillow under your buttocks so that semen does not come out.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
