I bleed constantly for close on 8 months, Endo excised in June. Problems worse than ever now I have been told I have adenomyosis, and a few other 'issues' including a mass (?) possibly fibroid or polyp but not diagnosed.

Had the mirena out a month ago, as my hair was coming out seriously badly, the consultant said it is 'a rare symptom' not sure if rare is true as read quite a bit.

I literally had so many symptoms which varied almost week to week. Good luck whatever you decide to do but don't do what I did and leave it because I felt obliged :(
