thanks, very helpful information :-)
I have had Mirena since March 2008 and just fond out I am 8 weeks pregnant. I am worried of what could happen to the baby. If anyones has gone thru something like this let me know.
I had my IUD removed three months ago after having it in for almost 4yrs. My husband and I are ttc baby #3 the first two were accidents so this is my first ttc and it is driving me crazy. I feel like I have all the signs the sore breast, the heartburn, the sickness. Then I start my period and it has been horrible I have never had such cramping and heavy bleading in my life. Is this normal? I have probally taken 100+ preg test in the last 3 months I feel like I am going crazy. I know I need to calm down and wait but that is so hard when you want something so bad. I feel so depressed everytime I get a negative test. I did not think it was going to be this hard. Any advice?
I had an IUD for 4 years and 5 months. My husband have been trying to get preggers ever since I had it removed... It's been over 10 months now... I consulted a DR and told me to come back when it's been 12 months of ttc... Every month, I dred the day that I get my period! I didn't get my period this month and took a home pregnancy test... It's still negative! :( I don't know if I would recommend this to anyone now...
Please pray for me and my husband in ttc!

Hi All,
The advice being given to wait is the best option. I had my mirena removed on the 21st August, had a visit from AF on 3rd September and on 4th October found out I was pregnant so naturally I was all excited...planning etc - only to miscarry on the 10th. I would advise all who are ttc to wait until at least three months to give the uterus enough time to thicken so that it can hold the baby. I believe that the reason I miscarried was due to my uterus lining being too thin. I had an ultrasound scan a few months back when they were trying to locate the coil and the gyn told me that my lining was really thin. I hope that it doesnt cause too much trouble for me, I read somewhere that sometimes the uterus can get scarred if the coil is not removed properly leading to infertility. I just wish I had never had this Mirena, all my other pregnancies have been very easy to conceive and for both of them I was never on Mirena but on the copper coil. I would prefer the heavy periods from the copper coil anytime compared to the horror that is Mirena...
I dont mean to scare anyone but I would wait because the trauma of miscarrying is something I would not wish on anyone.
Good luck ttc and baby dust to you allxx

I have enjoyed reading all of you guys stories. I had the Mirena for 3 years and 8 months. It came out on its own but my husband and I were not upset because we were actually planning to have it taken out after the first of the year. I'm attempting to be hopeful on conceiving but I'm also a little nervous. o.O We have two children already and they were not planned nor were they babies post-Mirena so conception for them was a breeze. I will be sure to post to let you guys know when we are expecting. Again, thanks for posting because your stories have been helpful to me.
I had Mirena for 3 years, +/- a few months. Had it removed July 2008. Finally got AF back on track, and had +OPK %-) this month, but still having BFN on preg tests. This is truly devastating, as my older children were super easy to concieve. the oldest 2 were "accidents", with the youngest being the only "planned", got preggo the first cycle off OCP. now all these problems after Mirena... I would beg anyone i know not to get one, if you are thinking about it and want children or more children- PLEASE DON'T DO IT!!! i promise you will most likely regret it. :'(
indeed that is correct. the mirena can create scar tissue on the lining your uterus. and of course with a lesser amount of uterine wall, the chances you may become pregnant, lower.
this is not to scare anyone its a helpfull reminder to those who need some insightful knowledge to your situation. these few facts may help
ALSO PLEASE REMEMBER BEFORE USING THE MIRENA!
if you plan on having kids, soon or in the near future
it can cause scar tissue on your uterine wall! it make lessen your chances of miscarry, conceiving, or even tubal pregnancies (which the baby does not survive, and rarely sometimes the mother doesn't as well). this scar tissue prevents the egg from its natural flow when ovulating.
When the egg is expected to deploy its way down the fallopian tubes they use their very microscopical hairs (kinda like a caterpillar) to make its way down the uterine wall until its in its much comforted spot.
SCAR TISSUE will prevent the egg making its way down, almost always getting stuck or trapped on the scared tissue unable to make its way further down which can lead to a miscarriage from the lack of tissue it thrives off of in order to hold a baby. ALSO if the scaring his near the fallopian tube, this may cause tubal pregnancies because it still cant make its way down past the scar tissue.
TUBAL PREGNANCIES can lead to death. And within no doubt, death of the unborn baby. its already not receiving the right nutrition it needs to survive, let alone the tight area it doesnt have room to grow. This can cause fatality to the mother, especially if its not removed as soon as possible.
and for The guest above i'll pray for you. you now know this from first hand, something that no one wants to experience, so i thought i would share my knowledge hoping many will read this and her comment as well. many doctors dont provide you with the proper information that may determine your future, you should not have to ask. People who arent warned or someone to aware them is just wrong, in the results of such things like that happening!
and yet i've been TTC myself since july 08 and still nothing. and it breaks my heart, that i had no knowledge of this information, which i thought i knew before i got the mirena. As well as the depovera i hope no one in there right mine will take that or ever give the depo shot to their teens. it will destroy there life.
i hope this is use to anyone who needs to know

im sorry about the horrible spelling its 4am and i checked back up on this thread again after i did some major research and found many hidden away answers in search engines.
I have had the mirena inserted 2x as I've always been very fertile and have twins. The first time, it was in for 2-3 months and it wasn't very complimentary for me. I had it removed and didn't even have intercourse and became pregnant 2 days after my 1st period.
I again had it put in and it has been there for 2 years. My fioncee and I are now trying for a baby and for the 1st time ever, I'm struggling to get pregnant! It's been 2 months now and I feel so bad for my man. He wants another baby so bad and 2 months in a row, I've had all the symptoms of being pregnant. I was told by my doctor, I could have it removed at any time and become pregnant the next day.It's so disheartening and if I had of known, I would have never had it to begin with!

Back in the spring, before my husband and I were married, we didn't want an oops, so I had a Mirena IUD put in. Since then, my husband and I have decided to try for a baby together. He has two boys ages 11 and 6, one from a high school relationship and one for a previous marriage. I have an eight year old daughter from my previous marriage. We want one of our own. At the beginning of July, I had my Mirena IUD removed. The doctor said after 2 cycles, I would probably be pregnant. I had a cycle in July and a cycle in August. My September cycle was five days late and my October cycle was either 2 days late or 7 days late from previous calculations. Each time my period was late, I took a home pregnancy test with negative results. I've read that diluted urine could be the reason for a negative test. I take hydrochlorothiazide, a diuretic (water pill), because I have a congenital kidney disease that causes my body to produce a multitude of kidney stones, my urine is almost always pretty diluted. I also think it could be stress that I'm not getting pregnant, but the only stress I'm under is the stress to get pregnant. I've given it to God, but I still wonder what others experiences with this are like...
Maybe I should have mentioned I had my daughter by c-section. Do you think the IUD and c-section caused too much scar tissue?
I had my IUD for 5 years almost to the day. I very rarely had a period during that time, and no complications. I got the IUD removed in Feb 08, and found out I was prego on June 1st 08 via home pregnancy test. I am now about 28 weeks pregnant with no complications (though my hormones did give me more issues than with my first child). I am not sure exactly which month I concieved and I had a "period" on May 1st which was heavier than my previous periods. I am not sure if the IUD caused my hormones to vary so much that I had a false period but I am pregnant with a healthy baby girl. Hope everything goes well for all of you. :-)
Did you take a hpt right away? Was it positive right away?
I've took a hpt each time my period was late and they've all been negative. I dread the end of each month when I will get dissappointed yet again.

Hello All!
I am scheduled to get my Mirena taken out on 11/20/08. I have had it for about a year and 4 months. I have fairly severe endometriosis and we have tried everything. Birth control, hormone pills, 5 laparoscopy's (that were so painful), lots of hydrocodone, and finally Lupron. The luprom was a 7 month injected treatment that put me through a ton of painful and frustrating side effects, only to find out that it didn't work . 6 weeks out of the treatment, it came back twice as bad. I am 24, I have no children and I had to make the decision to either have a baby RIGHT NOW or have a hysterectomy! I've wanted a baby for a while now so I have no problem with that. But now after reading all of these posts, I'm worried that it may take a year or so to get pregnant and by then I will be in too much pain to even try anymore...
Any thought? Anyone here have endometriosis who can share their story?
