Going off Mirena to prep for TTC

jenrundle · January 2014

So my hubby and I are planning on TTC starting in July. I have had the Mirena in for 2 years and LOVED it! It has been the best! I am getting it removed tomorrow because I want to regulate and be free of hormones before we try. (Before Mirena I had very irregular cycles (ranging from 12 days to 62 days) and since going on Mirena I have not had any periods in the 2 years and 2 months I have had it.)

My questions for others who have had Mirena are:
How long did it take you to regulate after getting it removed?
How bad was the first month after? (I have heard horror stories of terrible bleeding and clots!)

No advice, but I wanted to wish you good luck with the procedure to remove it as well TTC in July.

No advice since I've never used Mirena but wanted to say welcome and good luck! Tell us more about yourself.

No advice, but good luck!

And I agree with PP, maybe post an intro to let us get to know you a but better and stick around. The ladies here have a lot of great advice.

No advice, other than like PP said, maybe an intro!
Also, if your username is your real first and last name, you may want to change it. Or start over with a new account.
Good luck on your TTC journey!

I just recently had Mirena removed so I can't speak from personal experience, but I have been told that you do not need to wait for your cycles to regulate. The level of hormones that are released are small enough so that most women continue to ovulate even if they do not have a menstrual cycle. I did have very mild cramping and slight spotting each month. A couple days after having it removed I did start spotting a bit, but it lasted only a couple days.
