conceiving after the merina coil???????????????

i had the merina coil removed over a month ago now and wondered if anybody has been thro what im going thro now.....i still had very regular periods whilst the coil was in but since removal ive suffered with really bad mood swings, my emotions are here there and everywhere,im tired all the time, headaches, nausea, cravings for pickled foods and really bad bloating, my hair and skin is terrible and its really getting me down. i desperately want a baby but feel like getting my hormones n monthly cycle back to normal will take forever??

Have you taken a pregnancy test just to be sure your not already pregnant with symptoms like that? Been a lot of posts about Angus Cactus on here recently. Its a natural remedy available in tablet form from health shops and is meant for sufferers of PMS as it helps regulate hormones and cycles so it could well work for you. It's best to stop ttc whilst you take it every day for a couple of months or so to allow it to build up enough to work well and then you can take it whilst ttc but only from day 1 of your cycle to the day you ovulate then stop until day 1 again as it can cause uterine contractions (of course if your successful then you wont need to start again because there'll be no day 1!) Good Luck x
thanx for all the replys,have already done a test but came back negative (which was gutting) as i felt like this when i was pregnant before.done a hell of alot of ovulation tests since i worked out when i was due to ovulate and all negative,still waiting for a positive from them yet and have just started the angus cactus and evening primrose oil, both in liquid form as ive read it gets into your system alot quicker so just have to see what happens with that and fingers crossed.its so frustrating and im probably the worlds most impatient woman lol, i caught within 2weeks of trying for my first and kinda hoped it would be the same this time, but back to reality!!!ive read alot of horror stories on other sites where its took people alot longer to catch since having the merina coil out but reading peoples positive comments on here has made me feel alot more positive.

I was pregnant 6 weeks after having mine removed. Definately do a pregnancy test as you may be pregnant already.
Fingers crossed for you :-)

Hi hun
I had the merina coil in for a few years too, had it taken out just before I was due on! Like you I was regular. I fell within a month of trying. The symptoms your discribing could be a sign your pregnant. I was told your body returns to normal straight away so you just never know. Good Luck xxx

hey hun
I had the merina coil in for a few yrs, had it take out just before I was mid cycle ( like you I was regular 28-30 days) and fell straight away. The symptoms your discribing could be your natural hormones coming back into play OR it could be a sign your pregnant. I had very similar things happen, greasy hair, mood swings etc too, so give it a week from your last period then maybe do a test, you never know xx good luck! x
