had a very stressful month at work, I still o'd on day 16 as normal but my usual regular AF has not shown up? Because I am late I was able to get home for the weekend and fit in the Dr's so I was able to get my coil removed yesterday, I have been cramping ssssssooooooo badly ever since. Anyone had a copper coil taken out? How long did it take to feel better again?? I was hoping having it removed might encourage AF but no such luck probably out TTC for June now too because dates no longer tie up

I think everyone reacts differently to getting these sort of things removed. I didn't have a coil but had implanon. I was bleeding continuously on it, so got it taken out to regulate things before TTC. When it was removed I had cramping for a couple of days but then my bleeding stopped with in two days. I then had my first proper AF about 4 and a half weeks later. Sorry I know I wasn't really in the same situation as you and the wait I had isn't probably what you want to hear. But I'm sure your body will know regulate its self in its own time.

I had a light period when I had my copper coil removed but then the same long and heavy one as normal. It's taken a good couple of months to get back to what I know as my normal cycle, but always been regular. But like KC says, everyone is different. Was it the merina you had? It shouldn't take long for the hormones to come out of your system. I had the copper one second time.

Hi Both

KC6 me too! My choice was depo, stopped my periods for years and I was happy with that but was told I was too old so I went on the implant. I bled all the time so mine was removed too and then all that was left was the pill or coil. My blood pressure was too high for the pill so the coil it had to be. I went with the copper coil as no hormones involved. For all the messing around of late at least I have proper periods and things are generally working properly apart for this last hiccup.

megsmeadow I got AF four days later, it started off light but then kicked in proper but extended AF by 3 days. I still O'd on day 16 so just waiting to see if I am back regular now. I had the copper coil so hormones aren't an issue.

Fingers crossed I still have a June chance, but if not I still get to see my man and he made me promise to not get baby making mad until October when he is back home for good. Will just go with the flow
