Its now 2 weeks since the day of my op, and 5 days since i was sent home from hospital after been readmitted and treated for PID. I finally stopped all 3 antibiotics thursday and stopped the vomiting thursday afternoon which meant i also managed to eat.....yayyyy!!! Im getting some pain still from op and discomfort from coil but way better than i was!! My doc wants me to take another week off to ensure full recovery. I actually put a bit of make up on today and felt so much better than looking like death but a colleague dropped by with some flowers and told me " you look really well!" At first i felt fab about it but now im questioning if she thinks i shud be at work sooner?!im prob just over tired but i feel bad for making myself look nice!! Its back to the whole side of endo where you look fine.....on the outside!!! Hmmmmmm

Hi :-) glad im not alone!!! You have just described my pains exactly lol my thigh feels numb sometimes and i keep running to loo convinced that im bleeding due to the low down deep period type pain!!!! But i had 6 days of spotting/pink discharge which i think was mix of op and coil and no blood etc since!! Wasnt sure if i was getting pain worse as i had c-section deliveries and its meant to be "easier" on those that have had natural births?! Either way its very frustrating and im very aware "its in there!" Lol x x

Im 9days in and still bleeding feeling like its never going to end. I had natural birth with my son but was 13years ago! I actually feel alone like no1 understands me! Im soo aware of the coil and cant work out if what i feel is it or if its just me over thinking.

Im the same hun so please dont feel its just you!!! I keep telling myself its got to be better than the endo!!! Have you tried speaking to a nurse? I had my strings checked after 6 days as was in so much pain and felt awful!!! The strings were in place but i had infection!! So hard to tell whats op pain or coil pain!!! I think because its something thats not "supposed" to be there you think about it a lot more!!! X x

I was told 6 week but amount of pain i was in they checked to be sure. If youre concerned just ask them if they could check to reassure you..im pretty sure bleeding not a problem when checking. Just be honest and tell them how you feel etc my insicions ok on outside touch wood lol Good luck with Docs!!!! X x
