anyone have trouble conceiving after having Mirena?

Question

I've has my Mirena removed for a year and a half. Just curious as if anyone had issues trying to get pregnant. I've recently starte trying but I've heard horror stories. Thank you in advance

Answer

Well, I'm not sure if that is contributing but we have been TTC for the second month now (currently in my fertile window). A short backstory - I started getting the Depo shot in 2010 (first BC ever), had no periods, stopped in 2011, got my first period back April 1st, 2012 then got pregnant. I had the Mirena for about 6 months after my son but I started feeling really down and tired. I also felt the string getting shorter and shorter and had really erratic periods. I got mine removed sometime in late 2013 or early 2014. My periods continued to be erratic (one cycle was 80 days - not pregnant), however over the next week after removal my mood was tons better. My periods, as of the end of 2015 became more regular (30 - 38 day cycles), but they are still not what they were before BC (28-32 day cyles).

I refuse to use hormonal BC now. I hated that IUD, but depo treated me so well. I'm afraid now that I am unable to concieve because of the IUD or the combination of both BCs as well as giving birth.
