I had my Mirena removed on October 17th this year and found out I was pregnant yesterday November 21st
I had the Mirena iud for 1 1/2 yrs and had it removed August 10, 2012. My period has been regular every since the removal, but unfortunately what has also come along with the regular periods are hot flashes and sometimes night sweats. My husband and I are both 32yrs old with two children and have decided to have a third. We have been trying for only a short time now, but my concern is that I maybe experiencing premature menopause. I never had hot flashes or night sweats before I had the Mirena implanted. Could this be possible? Has anyone else experienced this?
I had Mirena for 3 years and no issues at all. We decided after our second child it would be a good fit for our busy life style. We decided last year to try for another. Had the mirena removed and was pregnate in less than 2 months. This pregnancy, I bled for a long time, they kept watching me and everything seemed normal minus the bleeding so they let it go. I ended up losing my daughter at 20 weeks. She was born sleeping and the most beautiful baby in the world. I now find myself pregnant again and once again about 8 wees along I am bleeding yet again. Doctors are running lab work to check that my beta HCG levels are rising. We are scared to death of losing this baby too. Anyone else not have any trouble getting pregnant after mirena but trouble staying pregnant? Any advice or tips?
I have had those same exact symptoms. I had my daughter in 2007, not a planned pregnancy, but surprised and over joyed as most. I couldn't stand having to remember the daily pills so I wanted something simple. It was 6 weeks to the day I had the mirena put in. No pain, little spotting, and I bled for about 3 months off and on. Then my periods became lighter and lighter until they were completely gone. Hey, that wasn't a problem for me! My problems starting happening about 7 months after having the mirena inserted I became really depressed, moody, weight gain... docs thought it was postpartum depression. I was hospitalized for it and given medicine. A couple months later (1 yr of mirena usage) I started having painful sex to the point I really didn't like doing it anymore. It really started getting worse when I would have these ungodly stabbing pains in my lower abdomen, uti's like crazy, and still no answers. The pain got so bad that when my daughter was 3 1/2, I had had enough! My husband thought it was a good time to start trying again so I was glad to have this thing removed! The day the doctor removed it, he was not gentle at all... or at least it didn't feel like it. I bled, but not like a normal period kind. It took about 2 1/2 weeks for the bleeding to stop, I was told this was normal, and we started trying and it was Aug... nothing. So we kept on trying... Finally in the beginning of Jan I found out I was preggos!!!!!! I was overjoyed! I didn't know it, but come valentine's day to a "T", I lost the baby. No explanation why except it had a "chromosomal defect". I blamed myself for months. But we tried again to no end and still no baby. I got pregnant again late August. I thought the test was a fluke! I had no symptoms... a week later I lost that baby too. I was a little more prepared that time for it. They have done all the tests to find if I have any kind of disorders to blood clotting, to diseases, to hereditary, all the way stds and beyond. NOTHING!!!! So here I am... pregnant again. I find out Christmas day, a few days ago, contact my gyno and they say they are going to do blood work to make sure. Sure enough they see I am and here I go again trying to miscarry the baby. Painful cramping and start of light bleeding. So the Gyno put me on progesterone pills to keep this one. My hormone levels drop like I am not pregnant so I lose the baby every time. I go back tomorrow for more blood work to see if my levels are continuing to go up like they are supposed to. I really don't know what I'll do if they don't. I don't think my husband can take another miscarriage facing he's 30 and he doesn't have any kids. I want to be the one to do that for him.... He is like a kid in a candy store now that I am pregnant. I hope I can continue to carry to full term. Please pray for me!!!! If I lose this one too, I really don't think I can go thru another one.
Thanks, Im glad I found this, I'm stressing BIG time!

OMG I thought I was the only one.. that maybe it was my body playing tricks on me!!!! for the past 3 months ive had either morning sickness.. low blood preassure... severe cramps etc to the pont where i think i am prego only to find out the next day or so i got my period.. i went to see my dr and he said i have to wait a full year!!! 12 months of just waiting before he decodes to test me or help me.. i think i will change drs.. i really want a baby
I am 35 year old and i had a iud removed in 2010 after five years and now am looking to have another child but it seem so hard to ge pregnant my periond have been all over the place and i don't know what to do i have had my body check out and they say everthing is all right but am worried
I am a mother of 3 beautiful children ages 8,6,4. I have had the Mirena IUD for about 3 years, and have had it removed... Me and my husband bin TRYING to make a baby, for about 6 months or more, we have tried many ovulation test, sex 14 days after period, pretty much doing it like bunnies, and still no go.. :( I have got many pregnancy test with high hopes, but they always ends up saying Negative..... I'm starting to think the ( Mirena IUD) damaged my uterus.... I'm really worried about this.. :S
I had my iud removed April 2011, my husband and I started trying right away for a baby. After a year of no sucess we went to the doctor. My doctor put me on Clomid, after nine months of ovulation tests, counting days and lots of tears no baby still. We were just tired of trying so hard and counting days so I went off the Clomid. We relaxed and enjoyed each other and the next month we found out we were pregnant after a year and nine months we finally got a positive test. I would never recommend Mirena to anyone who wants to have another baby. My body needed the extra boost to help it start ovulating again since the Mirena completely stopped it from doing that. There is hope, it's just a long emotional process.
I was reading everyones replies to this. I had Mirena for 4 of the five years. I went to my gyno for my regular check up, i usually go every 2 years because Im in a monogomous relationship. and was told that was okay by my doctor. At my check up2 years ago I was told my Mirena was fighting my body and causing me to be sick, which was odd to me because I believed I was fine and never had any issues other wise, she said it was serious and needed to be removed immediatley. so at that appointment i allowed her to do so. she warned that I would get prgnant very easy and to make sure to be careful as i thought about a different type of bc. well my husband and i discussed and decided we would go ahead and try for another baby in a year well 2 years later and no baby... im a little distraut he is wondering why since before i could get prgnant very easily. I just figured oh well maybe its a sign :( i have given up and to be honest I am not emotionally ready to hear that i can never have any more children. but I have 3 beautiful girls and i am happy to have them. we were trying for a boy :( ... goodluck to any of you considering removing or even getting this
