Contraception advice

[Chester28]

Hi all,

I just wondered if anyone could help with regards to contraception.

I am still waiting to be seen by a endo specialist, however as I’ve been in a lot of pain with my periods etc my gp did recommend me to go on a pill to help relieve the pain for the time being as well. I am 50/50 with it all as I have tried a few pills and none of them haven’t agreed with me, but I don’t want to be in constant pain and if I know a contraception that will be suitable for me then I would definitely take it.

What would be the best option for me try another pill or the mirena coil?

Hey,

I’ve tried both methods, taking continuous combined pill did help, but I found the mirena is the one that helped slow further endo, as well as better pain relief. Changing coil 2 yearly was also recommended by my consultant.

Good luck x

Hi Minnie, Thank you for your reply and for your advice, I was thinking of going more for the coil route and is good to know that it is effective for pain relief and endo ❤️
