I have two children ages 4 & 5. After my second child, I had a mirena IUD put in & had it taken out 6 months ago. I have been trying to conceive for about 3 months and every month I end up with a negative pregnancy test. I do have ALOT of stress and some people tell me thats why I'm not getting pregnant, but I'm also paranoid that it could be from my IUD. Has anyone ever had this problem?
6 months to a year is an average range for trying to conceive according to what I have been told by my ob.
you can try tracking your BBT to be sure you are ovulating and then timing your relations, but 3 months while annoying, doesn't imply a problem. Someone already said it, but 6-12 months is normal when trying to get pregnant.
It took me almost a year after having my mirena removed to conceive baby # 2...
It took us 20 months to get pregnant the second time. I had been off birth control for a long time before we started trying. It is very frustrating and so hard to wait. However I would recommend reading "Taking Charge of Your Fertility" and charting your basal temps. I would also recommend both of you taking a high quality vitamin (prenatal for you) and Omega 3-6-9 fish oil. Best of luck to you and try to enjoy the journey.
Yam cream. Do not use when you are on your period. The rest of the time put on inside your wrist unless you want your breast to get bigger then you would put between them. I natural nefx. That is the one I used after two miscarriages. But make sure to continue using through out the pregnancy.
It took me about 6 months after I went off the pill to become pregnant with my first. My doc gave me some kind of medication to "jump start" ovulation, but I think what helped was that I stopped worrying about it, and then it happened. With my other 2, it happened right away, but I knew when I was ovulating based on signs my body was giving out, (slightly increased temp, slight crampy feeling, increased discharge, etc). My advice would be to stop stressing about it, and if it hasn't happened in 6 months, go see your doc.
Are you testing for when you are ovulating? This was really effective for me - and I just bought ovulation tests from the dollar tree!
I honestly couldn't answer in regards to it being the IUD (I've never had one). But I guess my next idea for you to try is the "conceive tests". You get them right next to the pregnancy tests. I believe they come with about 10 or so pee sticks. You start peeing on them daily around when you believe you'll ovulate and then when it shows you the "positive" reading, you are ovulating and have about 12 or so hours to "get it on":)
Yams do not have enough progesterone to help you get pregnant if you eat them for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, let alone as a cream on your wrist. Have you considered your age? Just being 7 years older can change your hormones, especially if you're in your thirties. Keep trying and good luck!
We got pregnant very fast with our first.
It took me over 2 yrs to get preggers with my 2nd so I think you don't need to panic after 3 mths trying.
Saying that I hope it happens for you soon.

It only took me 2 months to get pregnant after the Mirena so I don't know if it's an inherent problem with the IUD, it is maybe just a fluke. I know it's hard to be trying and not succeeding, but 3 months is still early. Try an ovulation kit, that might help. Hang in there and keep trying!
My son is 2 will be 3 in Dec. But we decided to try and have another baby and I had the Mirena IUD after my son. I had it taken out and it took me about 6 mths to get pregnant. I believed it was something to do with my IUD. But we agreed to try for a year and I am currently 23 wks pregnant.
What I've always been told is that they don't consider that you have a problem unless you have been trying for a year if you are under 35 and 6 months if you are over 35. Stress could be affecting it. You should probably get the ovulation predictors and/or start tracking your temperature or signs of fertility. There can be all kinds of reasons why it may be taking a little longer this time but still not mean that you are having trouble. The best thing you can do is try to relax as much as possible, at least about getting pregnant.
Don't panic. Three months is not that long to be trying, even though I'm sure it feels like an eternity.
Most doctors won't even talk to you about infertility until you've been trying 12 consecutive months.
Each birth control method has its own timeframe in terms of how long it will take your body to be ready to conceive. Its a range of course. Google it or ask your doctor. That way you'll know what to expect.
good luck!
