Feeling emotional 😰

[Lisaloo1974]

This morning I have had the mirena coil fitted. To say it hurt is an understatement. I cried afterwards it was so painful, I thought I had a high pain threshold until then and now am in so much pain, which I can cope with am sure but I have gone home from work! 😰 feeling all sorry for myself, just hope it was worth the pain and it eases or gets rid of my endo pains for good....well here's hoping, Finger crossed!

Good luck with the Mirena hun.

I had mine fitted during surgery so i only had the after pains which were painful enough!

Well done you i say! xx

Mine was fitted during surgery too. I honestly don't think I would be brave enough to have one fitted without being under general anaesthetic! You've done very well to manage it and try to take it easy until you feel better X

Thanks Hun. If I knew It was going to be that painful I wouldn't have got it done with out one. X

I had mine fitted and the pain was horrendous, my blood pressure dropped so low the doc wouldn't let me go home for half hour, and I almost fainted.

When I eventually got home I got into bed and slept all day.

They gave me strong pain killers which helped

It has help control my periods so hopefully it helps you!

I think it is unacceptable that women are suffering so much during Mirena insertion. Mirena is cheaper than contraceptive pills for the NHS over a 5 year period . Doctors also get £70 for every Mirena the prescribe to incentivise them to prescribe it Surely the saving /incentive payment could be used to enable a bit of local anaesthetic? There seems to be this expectaction that women should just put up with the so-called "discomfort".
