TTC #2 after mirena removal - your input requested

[nikkiscriv]

Hello all!  Would love your input here and will try to keep the explanation as brief as possible... 

First little boy born January 2015 and had mirena implanted March 2015, removed October 28, 2016. During that time had no periods, with the exception of some breakthrough bleeding last 2 cycles. Did not really experience period symptoms while on mirena, but my periods have always been very mild.



We are eager TTC, as we would love to have our children 3 years apart or less, so I immediately started tracking ovulation with OPK tests (cheap dip strips and CB Digital). I was very surprised to have a positive OPK November 1 and November 2, given it was just a few days after IUD removal, plus I didn’t really notice other ovulation symptoms. Because of that I continued to test over the next few days, and though I did not receive another positive OPK, they were all VERY close to positive. Therefore, the husband and I have BD’ed at least every 2-3 days.



Then on November 17th I noticed the natural signs of ovulations… EWCM, cervix was high, soft and open, etc. On November 18th OPK was positive, and a far stronger positive than early November. November 19th and 20th positive on the dip strips but not digital, and today, November 21st, VERY strong positives AM and PM. Again, cervix still high, soft open and wet but without the EWCM. Oh, and I’ve taken a pregnancy test just for good measure, and it came back negative.



I called my doctor today and spoke with the PA – she said she’s never heard of anything like this and will speak with the doctor and get back to me.



Just curious if anyone has experience something similar or has any thoughts as to what may be going on?
 Attaching an embarrassing number of OPK tests taken over the past month or so, as well as the latest OPK I took this evening.  



Thanks in advance!!

Ok, so Mirena is a hormonal IUD so I don't know, I wouldn't put too much stock in your OPKs right now. You've had it out less than a month so things are probably still regulating.

Also, in general, you can have multiple LH surges (what an OPK monitors) throughout your cycle without actually ovulating. Or you could have faulty OPKs.

Did you ever end up getting a positive on the CB digital? Are you temping as well? I mean, I'd probably just KOKO until you get a period and then start temping from there. Hopefully your body levels out by then.

I generally wouldn't think it would warrent a call into a doctor though...I mean, what are they going to tell you?

Edits wordz r harrrrdddd tonight apparently. Oof

Hi nikkiscriv, I agree with PP, I 2nd the above ladies. Are you temping also? I do like your system of tracking though! I wish I would be that organized and patient to write the details like that
