Experiences with

Contraception

Positive changes since my ablation in Dec 2021: my AF episodes and panic attacks have become less intense.

Hi, all — I initially posted this to the Afib Forum but just found this group, which seems more appropriate. I was experiencing episodes of tachycardia sometimes lasting up to a half hour or so.

hiya, I came off the mini pill on the 23rd August to prepare for my PGT-M IVF but still haven’t had a bleed. Was told by nurses that a bleed should arrive within 7-10 days but nothing as of yet. The only thing I have noticed is that I’m having period-like cramps daily and feel like I’m carrying a

Hi everyone, I am new to this group, and am hoping for some help and support from seasoned pelvic pain sufferers. I will give a bit of background of my medical history, and wonder if there is anyone who can relate with any aspects with confirmed diagnosis of IBD or Endometriosis who could give advice

hi, I’m 22 years old & was diagnosed with PCOS when I was 20, although I’d been going to the doctors 3 years before I actually got anywhere. I’m struggling with keeping my periods regular, sometimes I will have a regular cycle for months and then it suddenly stops.l, does anyone else have this? It’s

good morning, I was diagnosed with PCOS when I was 16 years old (now 25), I am just wondering whether anyone else has had problems with their GP prescribing them absolutely anything?? The only thing I’ve ever been offered is the contraceptive pill despite years of asking (begging) for anything else to

Just curious what causes PAC's and PVC's to vary so widely. Last night over an 8 hour period I had 2,608 PAC's and 1,237 PVC's, which was much higher then usual. My Afib burden is very low, each time only lasting 20 seconds and not as bothersome. The night before for the same period I only had 276
