Wasn'st sure where to post but maybe you ladies can be some help?

I had my D&C in march and then after the bleeding had stopped(tmi) I had the IUD put in because I didn't think I would be ttc anytime soon .. when I got pregnant it was unplanned but when DH and I found out we were excited! anyways..got the mirena taken out in late may and the bleeding from that stopped and I had a regular cycle and haven't had another one since? I thought I was pregnant..so I have tken 3 hpt and all are neg! Not sure what is going on ?

Are you charting? It may be that you just haven't Oed yet & that you will continue until your lining builds up so much that it just sheds it's lining (which can take a while). I'm not really sure but I think that could be a possibility.

Welcome to the boards. I don't have any experience with IUD's but perhaps you are in the midst of a long annovulatory cycle? I would check with a doctor if it continues much longer.

[xaela202]

Nope. no charting yet. I actually just found out about the whole charting so I started doing it last week but thats all i got so far.

and I didnt think about the lining building back up.. I never really knew how the IUD worked untill the last doc. visit I finally had someone explain it to me!

A good book to read, if you haven't already, is Taking Charge of Your Fertility by Toni Weschler. It explains a lot, including the way anovulatory cycles work... where the lining will just keep building up until it can't support itself anymore & then it just sheds causing AF but without actually Oing. It also discusses charting which really helps you figure out if/when you O from cycle to cycle.

The book even comes with a trial CD of the TCOYF charting SW. This SW is what I use & LOVE LOVE LOVE it! You can check out my charts here to see what you think if you would like... acollins24's WebCharts.

I forget if the mirina is hormones or not. If it is then that might be causing some of the problem, getting the hormones out. It not then I am not sure. When I had my IUD my body went back to normal, adding that I was not pregnant prior to having my IUD. I would recommend getting a blood test done. Do you know how long your cycles were before you got pregnant? I know when I was younger I thought I was like everyone else 28 days and when I would get to day 29 and 30 I was all in a panic. Then a friend showed me how it all worked and I learned I was a 30 day person. The M/C seems to have thrown me off a bit though and my cycles have gotten shorter which is strange for me. But I am just going with it for now. I hope you get a BFP soon or find out what is going on. Let us know when you know ya know LOL.

I had the "non-hormonal" iud. So when it came out, all was normal as usual. I have heard that it can take up to 6 months to get regular again with the "hormonal" types of IUD's. When in doubt though, call your dr. I would say after 3 bfn's, and knowing when your cycle was last, that you are more than likely having an anovulatory cycle as well. Good luck to you!

[xaela202]

Jessp- I have never known the length of my cycles or worried about it untill now that I have the whole baby fever thing going on lol!

but surprise - AF sohowed up last night!! So hopefully it stays normal and I can get the charting stuff going !

Thanks ladies

[.:Shortcake:.]
