It’s darker, right??

I had my Mirena removed on Wednesday and I will theoretically ovulate on 3/2. This is my first cycle tracking and I’m concerned about my fertility.

A little background:

I had my Mirena placed 3 years ago to help with constant heavy bleeding. I spent almost a full year bleeding most days before it. When I asked what the problem was, the general Kaiser response was 🤷🏼‍♀️ you’re fat?

I’ve lost 40lbs since then, my blood sugar is in a good range, I exercise twice a day and I’m eating like a saint. I’m just really worried that removal will mean I’ll go back to bleeding like a stuck pig everyday. Even on the Mirena my periods were medium to light, but sometimes 8-10 days, slow to start and slow to end.

I just really need to see that I can ovulate I guess, I’ve got major anxiety over my fertility.

Just to make sure I’m not seeing what’s not there, the bottom one does look a hair darker, right? It’ll be CD15
