Diagnosis lap today update

Tuesday update

Hi all

Today’s update

Well went into have my lap at 12.30 come 15.00 till waiting to down at 16.00 was told the first lady’s op had run on and that mine was cancelled now have to wait for them to re book it!

Was starving & so fed up as arranged the time off work etc it’s so frustrating 😢 I asked about the other 2 ladies who were waiting after me but they still had theirs scheduled as they were shorter procedures apparently.

So now got to wait for another appointment hopefully not too long.

Was asked if I wanted the mirena coil fitted at same time as lap i take pill back to back at mo and so have no periods what’s any ones views on coil?

Thanks

Sharon

I would say if u get away with no periods on the pill then stick to that if ur good with it...and happy with it.

So many mixed reviews with coil.. they keep trying to get me to have one but i have started taking cerazette and im so happy with that now why change.

I have 6 friends and family that have had coil and 4 like it but 2 dont....

And one got sepsis... the other one couldnt get the gp to take it out even though it really didnt agree with her.

I say why mess around with something if u ok with the pill... but hey it ur choice.

Oh it a bummer about the lap... they shouldnt make u wait long though

Thank u, I am currently on Rigevidon which consultant today said I shouldn’t stay on this one and change to different one but can’t remember which one but felt she was pushing towards coil.

Im on cerazette? Degestrol 75mg and got to say it helped ALOT... the pain has gone... used to b on floor crying for three days.

I am still bleeding as in periods at mo but im only two months in she said it may just stop them in 3-4 months...

But im totally happy, im having period at mo and i wouldnt even know pain wise..

Gp does keep trying to get me to let her do a mirena but i just think what point... it the same hormone im just taking mine orally.

Only thing i find hard is having to take it same time every day! 6pm as im always having dinner then.

Mayb try that pill to as like i said it the same hormone thats in the mirena

Hi I had merina didn’t work for me at all . I had the first one which was out of place from start so when I had my lap they took it out an fitted another one, only when I came around I was in absolute agony I knew something was wrong soon as I woke up, they just kept dismissing it after two month of none stop pain I got them to remove it an as soon as they did the pain went away. Don’t want to put you off as it might work for you as a few of my cousins have had it for ages now an they’ve had no problems with it x

It might not be so bad if they actually took people seriously when they have problems with it. So frustrating for you!

Ah, this happened to me and I ended up with a massive migraine from not being able to eat and drink all day. I hope you get your lap soon.

I am on the Mirena coil but the first 12 months of having it were awful - one long period, with about 2 days per month of not bleeding! It’s been great for the following 2 years so I feel much better in it than before as I had mega heavy periods and lots of pain before. I think you should go with your gut feeling on the pill/coil. None of us seem to work like the textbooks teach the doctors!

Good luck.
