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!

Sorry I have no advice........... I am just glad to hear from you. I thought Isabella was going to be our only one too, but nature decided to do away with my infertility and we got ourselves a surprise and could not be any happier.

Please keep us updated and don't stay away for so long.

Hey, Mandy! I had at least one friend have her Mirena removed and she was able to get pg within just a few months. Everything should return to normal fairly quickly once the hormones are out of your system. Post some pics of your family!

If you visit the prep TTC boards there is a woman there named Claire who had her Mirena removed in March so she can TTC this cycle. She's a lovely woman!
