Mirena help-post coital bleeding

[Mrsobrien04]

Hey,

I’ve had the Mirena coil in place for over 5 months. I’m bleeding a lot more and currently on day 19. Any break I get we manage some intimacy ( carefully as can be very painful) and afterwards I’m back to bleeding. I’ve had enough of having to wear tampons 24/7.

I’m spending more time bleeding than not and still have pain and bloating. I’ve had an US which was okay ( pointless exercise as you can even see endo on there) and now waiting for an MRI scan and the possibility of having a hysterectomy and ovary removal. I know this is not a cure but a step in the right direction. I have severe endometriosis.
