I am on the waiting list for my first lap, if they find and diagnose endo I will be having this removed (by lasers, I think) and a coil inserted. I start my teacher training in Sept so I'm hoping for a cancellation this summer. I'm slightly worried about having the coil fitted as I've read quite a few people having pain related problems - so I'm not sure if to play safe and have the implant in, as I've had this before so know what to expect.i can't afford to wait 6 months to give the coil chance to settle down if it's affects with my studies and being on placement, some days I struggle to stand up straight.
Has anyone had the coil (or implant) and it's helped? If so how long did it take for it to settle down after the lap? And advise would be very helpful
Hi
I have a mirena coil it was fitted last December it took about 3 months for my periods to settle down the most disappointing thing that I found was that it didn't help with the pain at all in fact I would say it's slightly worse,my side effects have been very few (I seriously considered having it removed because of the pain side) but stuck with it and I am now happy with it.If you have had the implant before and it worked I would go for that as you know what to expect,a lot of people have problems with the mirena coil but some people find that it works really well but 6 months can feel like a long time if you're suffering.I hope this helps.
