Back to gp again tomorrow

Spoke to my gp in the phone today. Told her that I'm still getting a lot of pain since my lap and mirena fitting in July . I think I'll just get her to take it out as it's not really benefitting me. I'm scared of getting periods again tho. I had a big dermoid cyst removed during my lap also . Suppose I'm just scared of the unknown. Just want to be back to my old self

The specialist nurse at the endometriosis centre where I'm treated asked me to give the coil at least 6 months to settle. If it's not causing side effects it might be worth hanging on for a few more months. If you were in pain before having it removed might not help, unless it's causing separate problems of its own? X

I'm at the 6 month mark now and I've just hated how it's making me feel . The gp took it out for me this morning. Praying that it eases my symptoms but if not then I know something else is wrong

I would defiantly try to switch to the mini pill since some people just don't cope well with things inside them, I know for a fact the nuvaring caused an allergic reaction for me and then I developed pelvic pain you might have the same thing. The mini pill gave me hives at first so I think it was a rejection to progesterone.

That's what I wondered but my gp was having none of it. Well it's out now so I'm gonna try hormone free for a while and see how I get on

I'd be wary of trying to go without any hormone treatment unless you're trying for a baby. I went four months without treatment at the start of this year and ended up needing another laparoscopy x
