Hi there!

I have the mirena coil, which hasn’t been great for me and so I ended up also on those injections! 15 months is a long time!!

I’m not sure if you’ve read up on the mirena, but I was advised it’s one of the best things for endo. I’ve not had a great experience but I know many people who have! Sometimes it makes your periods heavier though (which I experienced) and my pain didn’t really subside.

As I said everyone’s body is different and reacts differently - it may be worth giving a try!

I’m sorry you need to wait so long for a lap - thats awful! :(
