Mirena coil and double desogestrel. Is it too much?
hi, first time posting. Short version - I currently have the coil in and my dr has just told me to double my desogestrel. Firstly, I’m worried about the safety of this? Secondly I really don’t feel I’m coping with the hormone overload. Has anybody else had this treatment before? Is it sustainable? Will

From darkness into light and almost all the way back again
I went mad in 2016. Nothing was too crazy for me. I even considered driving off a cliff. The madness was accompanied by paranoia and doubt which got very dark indeed. After several, desperate visits to my GP (who tried in vain to help) a visiting locum took one look at me and having familiarised himself

Combined Pill Worries
Hi, I started the pill 10 days ago on the first day of my period. I had my usual period, but I haven't stopped bleeding since starting the pill. Is this normal? There have been some clots in the blood, which is a dark red almost brown colour. Should I be worried???

I am so upset and don’t know where to go from here…
I went to the doctors with 3 months of pain while going for a pee, I have been on two antibiotics and none have worked. So, I made an appointment with the doctor to speak about what to do to help with the pain and find out why it was happening, or so I thought. I went in and her answer was go on the

MRI results
Had an appointment with a lovely consultant yesterday after a MRI in Jan. Pain subsided as it has a habit of doing! Main issue is with bowels. So when asked about pain I said that was my main concern, I'm taking the minipill daily and that suppresses the pelvic pain but annoyed with myself as didn't

Sleep issues- Is it the medication?
Hello! Every night at 7pm I give my daughter 2MG of melatonin and at 8PM she is having 0.05MG of clonidine (I am crushing it up- She can't swallow the pill even though it's cut in half) the doctor says it has nothing to do with how it is metabolizing since the medication is not extended release. She

Questioning my need for flecainide or amiodarone
Hi. I know I have a history of AFib--I get an attack
MAYBE 3-4 times/year and it lasts for 15 minutes or so.
I had not seen any provider for it because of stupidity. BUT, when I was in hospital for an infection last November 2022, I just happened to have an AFIB episode while I was hooked up

Feeling a little lost and where to go next
So my wonderful little sister (33) offered to be our donor at Christmas which is utterly wonderful, the offer however caught me off guard as I'd thought it was something she decided against. She was due to have her contraceptive jab later that day and I naively told her to carry on as normal and have

Progesterone pill for Endometriosis

Norethisterone prior to starting stimulation meds
Hi all, The protocol has changed at my clinic. It wasn't discussed at my consultation but at my nurse appointment I was told everyone has to take norethisterone from cycle day 18 for 15 - 20 days (15 in my case), take a 5 day break then start stimulation meds. I suspect that my period will arrive soon

Adenoma query
Hi, I have had further consultation and one of the three liver tumours is an adenoma. They've told me that there is a risk of malignancy but it's small, however I should not take hormonal contraceptives as it causes an increase in risk. I am due to have another MRI to check the tumours next month. Something
