I had my Mirena IUD for a year and got it removed in June because we'd like to try to have another baby. I had light spotting starting a few days after removal, then July 21st I had a regular period. August 8th I spotted for a few days and the same with September 8th. I am wondering how long it will take for my body to get back to normal so I can keep track of everything for TTC. It's hard to know if I've ovulated if I don't have much of a period. I don't even know if those 2 episodes of spotting could be a period. I've taken HPTs so I know I'm not already pregnant. I'm kind of confused, and would like very much to get a chance to actually try conceiving. Do you think using OPKs could help if the spotting is indeed a period?

Like you said a little difficult to determine if these are your periods, and using an OPK or checking BBTs are simple ways to determine this
