Cycles and OPK after Mirena removal

[Inforthree]

I'd love to hear about people's experiences after having Mirena removed. Can you used OPKs right away to find out if you are ovulating? Anyone who got a BFP right after removal, I'd like to hear how it went! Or just anyone's experiences with their cycles after Mirena. I'm planning to take mine out right before TTC. TIA!

I had mine out in December and had a little withdrawal bleed that lasted 2 days and then I'm pretty sure I ovulated 7 days later and got AF maybe 9 days later. I then had a perfect 28 day cycle (O'd CD 16).

We didn't try for those cycles as I wanted to give my body time to get my cycles right (and I didn't want another September baby). My next cycle went wacky and was 57 days with lots of spotting, then my next cycle I didn't O until CD 30 but we did get a BFP :)

I would think you can still use an OPK as you have to get an LH surge to ovulate but it might be random when it happens. I was ovulating with the mirena in as I would get O pain and then a tiny amount of spotting 10-12 days later. I also temped one cycle and it showed I O'd.
