I got a Mirena IUD at my 6 week postpartum check-up back in 2002, thinking that I would want to wait quite a while for #2. Well, I was wrong! I have baby lust bad.
I got in with my old midwife and, just a few hours ago, I again became a potential baby-maker, lol.
I am very anxious to start growing #2, but I haven't had any pp afs (possibly due to IUD) and I may still be anovulatory. I've just started charting my temps and will be using a saliva microscope starting next week or so. So, I guess that makes me "waiting to be ready"? I wish my body was as ready as my heart already is! I suppose the next few weeks will tell.
So, hi, y'all!

I know I'll enjoy my time here, but hope it isn't *too* long, lol.

Oh, oh, oh! I am wanting to do the same thing! Tell me, did it hurt? I am so scared to get it out. My Nurse Practitioner offered to take it out for me last week, but I chickened out. Please tell me it is better getting it out then getting it in??

edited to add: I just got my first pp af 2 weeks ago, so I really hope getting the IUD out will help with getting af back more regular. Of course, DD is still a nursing monster, so that could have something to do with it as well!

I didn't think it was very bad---it was definately not quite as bad as getting it in, and this was much quicker. My midwife went ahead and did a quick pap smear at the same time (since she was down there, so I won't have to have one if/when we get pg), but even so it took about a minute and a half. Not very bad at all, and I feel so FREEEE!
