Gynae appointment brought forward to today as there was a cancellation....

[worth71]

the hospital rang on friday and said i could come in today instead of 22nd august, ideal - he agreed to refer me for the endometrial ablation, also had my pre-op today, so assuming all that was ok, i will need one more scan before the procedure and then it will be done, and i can have this wretched mirena coil out - i know the ablation will only deal with the bleeding and not neccessarily deal with the pain, but, dealing with thing is better than both as far as i can see, if the pain does continue then i know i will have to push for the lap, but in the meantime i'm happy that they are most probably (fingers crossed all ok with pre-op) going to do the ablation.

hope everyone is ok xxx

oh but before he said i could have the ablation he did try to get me to have a new coil, he said the one i have may well be faulty! i said i did not want it, i've given it 12 months which is long enough to see if it will work xx

Hi

So happy for you that things are moving in the right direction, let us know how you get on

And good work on standing your ground on the coil - what planet do the doctors think we are on?!

Yay, a good outcome to your appointment Worth. Hopefully you wont have too long to wait for the op date.

You made me smile with your consultants last-ditch efforts to get you to try another coil first. The one you have in now could be faulty?? Whatever next-maybe the second one you try would also be faulty! The things that are said to us to try and get our agreement to something we dont want

I also agree that 12 months is a fair length of time to see if it has worked for you and it hasnt but at least you tried it.
