Debilitating tummy pain

Hi everyone, i have had Endo for about 28 years now and i,m now 46 years old, i have coped quite well for the last 4 years as had the Mirena Coil fitted 4 years ago. Over the last 6 months i have had irregular periods & the flow has been a bit more than i have been used to since having the coil in. Now the last 2 weeks i,ve had 2 periods but in the last 2 days i am suffering severe abdominal pain and getting a lot of discharge that i can only explain as something thats like thick egg white consistency plus i,m tossing & turning at night so not good sleep. Now i,m wondering because my coil is due out next February is it the case that it may need to be removed now or could it be due to perhaps i am in very early stages of the menopause. I rang my gp today but as normal got told to go to walk in or hospital a & e but i,m in too much pain to move. I would love to know if anyone else has experienced what i,m going through, any advice would be appreciated as i,m not coping.

Hi Cat75 I wish I would have listened to my body more and stopped the severe pain sooner. If you are unable to manage this pain the please call 111 for real medical advice, I have had many a reason to call them as a result of Endo pain. Don't suffer.
