Also, If and when I get pregnant; how can the doctor work out how many weeks pregnant I am, if I havent had a period?!

give it time ur body is now adjusting to not having the coil in, if u find out ur pregnant u give them the first day of ur last period so for example I assume it wud b july for u at some point. it might take ur body a little bit of time, when I came off my pill my body was a bit scatty for about 2 months, obv everyones different but it might not happen straight away or u might b one of the lucky ones

Its all in time yeah!

Ive personally never had the coil but i did have the "Implanon" implant in my arm for 3 yrs after the birth of my son.

I believe it took about 3-4months for my body to get back to normal as my periods also stopped for 2 & a half yrs & im now 30+ wks pregnant with my 2nd child.

Im guessing your period will make a return ( soon enough) but if not its also fine.

I had the coil in and had mine taken out while having a colposcopy due to abnormal smear. My periods were irregular for a while and eventually settled back. once u have ur period after removal u should start trying then and keep note of ur first day on until u get pregnant. That way u can see patterns immerging. mine ended up every 28days without fail and i knew i had to be pregnant when i was late by 3-4days. positive preggo test and im now 18weeks :)

Be patient and u'll get there. ur body needs time to adjust as the hormones are now body controlled rather than being administered. good luck and i hope it happens quickly for u xx

What coil did u have the merina? Or copper? The Merina will take a little while for the hormones to get out of ur system. . Not Sure about Copper. .. but give urself at least a month to have a period is only been just over 2 weeks. .. start taking pregnacare pre conception is a great vitamin supplement and relax. All the best :)

I was on Merina and it was a good few months before I settled down into a regular pattern - 40 days for my first period and another 37 before my second. To be honest, they were erratic for about 6 months, then came like clockwork. So frustrating, I know, but you might well find yours settle down sooner. Do keep a note though - it's impossible to remember otherwise, and it's so useful to know what's going on. I'd agree that it's best to wait until you've had a period before trying. And yes, you should start taking folic acid now, if you're not already. Good luck!

Hi, I had my coil taken out Jan 2012 it was also a Merina. I didn't have a period for about 6 weeks and then when I did get it it lasted for about 2 months. I was then pretty erratic for next few months but eventually settled into a proper cycle again. I had had my coil in for over 7 yrs(well had obviously had 2 different ones in that time) and Dr told me the longer it is in for the longer it takes people for things to settle back down. I am now 7+5 weeks pregnant at last so has been a long haul for me. Good luck with it all, I would also suggest you wait until after your first period before you start trying but know how hard that is xxx
