I think that I am just about caught up on all the posts that I have missed over the last year or so since I have been able to peek in on all of you girls. I can't believe how all the babies have grown into little people and all the new babies that weren't here when I vanished. I hope to get back to being a regular now, since I am going to need all of your advice and wisdom!

It's been about 3 years since I have been able to get online. Its been a very busy time in our house with a 3 (almost 4 year old) and all the remodeling that we have been doing. We have redone most of the house. Replaced flooring, put in siding and gutters, paint and wallpaper. It's a never ending job...when we have time, we don't have money and vice versa!

While we have been busy, my biological clock has been quitely ticking in the background. While I thought that Sam was going to be an only child, we have decided to take the plunge and TTC this year. Actually start in June to be exact.

I have an appointment for June to have my Mirena removed. I have had it for 3 years now and while I love it (mostly because AF doesn't come to visit), you can't try for #2 while on it. We are thinking about not waiting the recommended 3 months and just jump into things. We have both agreed that if after a year there is no baby, then we will have our one and only.

Now here is my question...has anyone ever had the Mirena? I love having it, I don't have a period and don't have any side effects. I would like to know if anyone has had the Mirena or any IUD for that matter and then decide to TTC. I have been looking online and the only information that I can find says that it's 100% reversible. I can't find out how long it takes for AF to come back or if there are any problems with getting pregnant after it's taken out.

I need some girl advice before I do to my doctor appointment. Please help!
