5 weeks after mirena removal...no period.

[natemom]

Hi.

I was just wondering if i should do a pregnancy test or wait a while?! I had mirena removed  5 weeks ago...bled the 3rd day after it was removed for 1 day and nothing since! Had the merina for 18 months and didn't have a period while i was on it so i don't know what to expect! For the last week my lower back has been aching and my breasts are feeling sore! Had unprotected sex a lot in the last month as we really want another baby ASAP!
Any advice?!

I seem to be in the same boat with a lot of women coming off the mirena IUD.I have been on it for 3 years and just got it removed on Nov2 (cause we want to conceive ASAP). Bleed for 3 days and at around day 18 I had very light spotting which I thought was implentation bleeding......getting a lot of symptoms of preganancy... boobs hurt for 3 days, nausea for the last 3 weeks, dizzyness, cramping, gassy, extreme 3 day long headaches.  I think I am going out of my mind....2 weeks ago I went to the doctor for a blood prego test, but it was neg.  Am I making this up in my head? Going CRAZZZYYY! It is stressfull cause I have had no period either.......so if I am not pregnant, then period, please please come so I can start keeping track!!! I am off to the doctor today for another preg. test and other test to see if there is something else going weird with my body......I will keep you all posted and let you know what happens in the next day or 2 after my tests results come in.........Thinking all of you!

Sorry i haven't been online for a while! 9 weeks after i had mirena removed i had a positive preg test. Only bled for 2 or 3 days 5 weeks after i had it taken out so it wasn't the same as my usual period! I'm currently 30 weeks pregnant. All going well so far apart from the awful morning sickness. Wishing you all luck ttc. x

I had mirena removed Dec 19th of 2009, and jsut like everyone else 3 days later I bled for about 10 days. Since then i have not had a period! I have read it takes some time for your period to regulate, but i ALWAYS had a period on mirena and a very regular one. I do NOT want to get pregnant, I have not had unprotected sex. If there is anyone who is in the same boat as me and got there period a little reassurance would be fantastic!

Hey there to you and really anyone that can relate. I had my Merina taken out on the 22nd of Jan, for many reasons. I had it in over a year and once I got thorough the horrible introduction of it to my body, that took about 3-4 months. I finally got used to it. My husband always said he could feel it and there were times after sex I bled slightly. I had my yearly PAP done the end of Dec 2009 and after that I developed an infection. Now I believe that it was from the PAP and something with the Merina. I had itching, burning when I peed, cramps, bloody show, and the real kicker was what felt like mild contractions all day long. After being put on a anti for Bacterial Vaginosis for a week and not getting better and researching all the things that can happen due to Merina I wanted it out.

Just a little about me. I have two boys a soon to be 4 in April and a 1 1/2 year old. I am a stay at home mom and it's a lot of fun, hard work, that can drive me crazy sometimes. I just lost 33 lbs on WW with all the excitement to get into a bikini this summer, with no plans for having another just yet. All that said I was not planning on having this turn of event with the infection of Merina and not to long ago was not planning on having it removed. I have had no periods for a while that was a plus.

So that brings us to now. I had sex with my hubby on the 17Th of Jan and on the 21 the day before removal not even thinking about the risks of getting pregnant, which we do not want right now. Looking back pre Merina I ovulated around the 21st. I had small amount of blood after removal that I though was the start of my (. )on the 24Th and then nothing:( I have been so bloated that it's really uncomfortable, nauseous, tired, just not feeling as sexy as I have felt. With WW I track all that I eat, the good bad and the ugly and even going on Vaca I have not gained more than 1 1/2 lbs I am now up 2lbs. I had no issue with my boobs and was happy about that until last night. Not sore but tingly and my nipples are poky. Needless to say I'm not totally happy about this and part of me would be.

Where is my period and why do I feel pregnant? I took a cheap dollar tree test yesterday that was neg but it's still to early to test and I just have to wait;( It's hard to relax. my insurance does not cover maternity and like others we have high medical bills from this past year to pay for. I know we will be fine, our family will be in total shock but I'm still in hopes that AF comes and comes soon. Does anyone else have the same symptoms besides not missing AF.

zena1812...I'm in the same boat as you. I had the Mirena taken out on 1/28 after having it for 2 1/2 years.

I charted my cycle pre-Mirena removal and it was a similar cycle to my usual cycles (before I had the Mirena)..with O around day 15/16. I had a slight period on 1/19 and on CD9 we DTD - the day before the removal. I didn't think of anything since I figured I wouldn't O until several days later anyway. Since I chart my temps, FF says I ovulated two days after the Mirena removal (due to my temps only) which also the day I had some removal bleeding. I thought it was odd but several days later I started to feel pregnant (about 4-5 after O)..nausea, sore breasts (I never had that with my 2 other pregnancies), headaches, hungrier as usual etc... I thought it was odd to feel pregnant so soon after O (I didn't have any symptoms with my two boys until the 6th week). Well..my temps have been up and down and I had slight brownish spotting a few days ago (about 13 DPO)...depending on my temps I should be getting my AF any day now. I'm on CD28 right now..no sign of AF. I really have no idea what is going on.. I haven't tested yet but I'm going to see a Dr. today for a possible ear infection so hopefully I'll find out what's going on.
