Pregnancy after the removal of Mirena Coil?

[missy1981]

I had my mirena coil removed as me and my partner are trying to conceive. I had it removed on the 30th july, bled from then till the 3rd/4th august. We slept together twice on the 5th, used no contraception.
I had a slight bleed yesterday (14th)... I did a pregnancy test on the 13th, it was negative. How long should I wait to do another test & what do you think are the chances of meactually being pregnant.... Any advice or similar stories would be grateful xx

Blimey....a bit early to contemplate pregnancy......6 weeks after the coil was removed..........pregnancy test was negative as expected.....I would repeat test in 2 weeks.

Did your doctor not explain that sometimes after taking out a mirena coil, it can take some time for the hormones to leave your body and therefore you shouldbt expect to be pregnant straight away...leave it for mother nature. and second of all try having sex 12 after your period started when you are most likely to be ovulating and it takes 72 hours from sexual intercourse until the egg and sperm fertilize sooo give yourself time and good luck

[ummmm]

How regular are your periods?

You'd need to let all the hormones provided by the Mirena coil to escape from your system first.
Each person is different.

Yeah I know... Heard so many different stories, some have conceived straight away, other have not,. I suppose everyone is different. Just eager to add an addition to our family.. Thanks for the advice x
