IUD out, trying to concieve, weird cycles

**Cherrygirl** · 08-15-2011 11:52 PM

Hi, i had my meriena IUD in for 3 1/2 years with no cycles during this time. I had it taken out on the 2nd of june this year, to make baby number 2. I started a cycle on the 7th of july (35 days after IUD out) and now no cycle (currently 41 days). I've done multiple pregnancy test all which are negative. Is it too early to tell if i'm pregnant, is my cycle stuffed from the IUD or have i just stressed my self out

Looks like your cycle is out of whack, that's to be expected for a while. Don't worry about it.

See if you can chart your BBT and figure out your fertile days for more precise conceptions attempts.

If your cycle is out of wack it isn't from the IUD but rather from the hormones it came with. It is one of my personal beliefs that there is NO reason for an IUD to come with hormones. One of the reasons many women chose to use an IUD is to keep away from hormonal conception control. My best guess is that you need to allow your body more time to recover from the artificial hormones of the Meriena. You are right that stress can take a toll as well.

Relax a bit, exercise, eat super healthy, no fried foods, no soda of any kind, no non organic dairy or meats (they may have growth hormones residues that can affect your body) and start taking folic acid so when you do conceive you will be in great shape for pregnancy.
