My baby is 4 months old. But I wanting to try for another. I have the mirena so I will need to remove that first. I have had baby fever since after having my little girl and all I keep thinking about is seeing my 2 kids close in age and playing. My question is should I wait longer and has anyone removed their mirena and how long did it take to get pregnant? Thanks :)

    My cousin had the mirena got it taken out and conceived that weekend. I don't think its too early, I want my kids close in age too.

    I think as long as both you and your so are ready and your Dr says your safe I don't see why not.

    I removed my first mirena after having it a year and a half. I got pregnant in less than 2 months but it wasn't a normal pregnancy, and I miscarried.
    As far as you having another one so soon, only you can make that decision if it's right for you and what you want. But my opinion is I think you should really think about it. Maybe write a pros and cons list, sounds a little silly but really will help get you thinking 2 sided rather than be blind sighted by baby fever (which could very well be just a phase your going through). It's common and natural.
    I have a 5 year old son and a 9 month old daughter...I wouldn't have it any other way :) he's a great big brother and so nurturing and loving towards his sister. He has never been an once jealous and is a great helper :) I think he might have been more excited than me when i was prego :)

    Oh my mom had my brother and I back to back, we're Irish twins. It wasn't on purpose but she said it was very difficult. Said it was like having twins.

    Yeah I had a friend with kids back to back..she had it very hard, and her kids would always fight about anything and everything, they still do and their 5 and 4.
    Try taking your little one to a play group for babies and so you can at least test interaction and get a better sense of what 2 little ones so close I age would feel like.

    Ooh and btw, the fact that you're posting this question here shows you aren't sure what you want. Make sure you know for sure before any removal happens :) oh btw when you remove your mirena earlier than 5 years your insurance might give you a hard time when you want another put back in if the 5 year time spans hasn't gone by. The mirena is surprisingly expensive! I had this issue with my insurance after I had my daughter
