Pain and Bleeding.
Hi all, I recently come off the implant about 1 1/2 months ago and me and my husband were using condoms, I then decided to go onto the pill after about 3 weeks... This week I have had really bad period cramps and I now have brown and red on the toilet paper when wiping ... could this be a period or just

What type of contraceptive is best with endometriosis?
I'm new here and need some advice. I've been advised by GP that I might have endometriosis after years of painful periods, following an unnecessary operation in October. They've prescribed me on Cerelle since November, and it hasn't done much different. I am on my period for a long period of time, and

Dienogest & Mirena
Hi ladies I'm after a bit of advice. I have stage 4 endo already had loads of surgeries ; bowel resection, uretic stents, stoma etc. The only further surgery the hospital will do is a total clearance and as I'm only 34 they won't consider that and I understand that the risk of doing so are quite high

Hi everyone, I hope everyone's having a decent day! I'm sorry this might be a bit long..... I have been passed from pillar to post again and again by various gyneas, doctors, nurses and I'm getting so much different information and fobbings off I don't know what to do. I'll try and summarise: Started

Testosterone therapy to... LOWER testosterone production?
I know there is plenty of talk here about BAT and TRT and SPT (i.e., supra-physiological levels of testosterone) , but there is an aspect of getting high-T shots that sometimes gets mentioned without in-depth discussion. Namely, that high doses of exogenous T can serve to suppress the endogenous (testicular

Coil Removal due to Mental Health
Hi I’m turning to here because I feel like I have nowhere else to go I’m 20 with a one year old and I had the Mirena coil fitted mid February. Physically everything was fine apart from mild cramping, however it wasn’t the one I wanted!! I asked and thought I had the copper coil fitted until I got home

Heavy periods (sorry it's a long post)
Hi, I have always had horrible heavy and painful periods and really want them to stop, I just can't cope with it. The problem is that I never seem to be taken seriously, I always feel like I'm basically being told to grow up and deal with it because it's unpleasant for everyone. But it isn't unpleasant

really long periods, heavy bleeding even though on the pill
As the title suggests, I've been having really long periods (see: 1+ months), spotting, really heavy bleeding at times, painful cramps and stabbing pains in my vagina, and fatigue. I'm on the POP pill without break so I shouldn't be having any periods at all but since last October they've been really

Tiniest faint line on pregnancy test
Hi all, I am currently on the
contraceptive
implant
, which I got replaced in January. My period was quite regular until a couple of months ago. I have now missed two periods which I believe isn’t uncommon with the implant. But I have also had bad nausea and gagging (though only thrown up once).

Comfortable.....
In July last year I was given the coil and had numerous problems which meant I was put on the pill AS WELL. This sorted out all problems for me and I haven’t had any bleeding for months! But I am worried I’m becoming to comfortable on both of these and question if I should try and come off of the

NHS T4/T3 trial - now what have I gone and done?
So, this old T4/T3 trial business... I’ve gone and banjaxed it once again! So, a quick recap. I got prescribed T3 in Dec but handed a massive cut in T4 at the same time and spent 6 weeks feeling like the mistress of grot. I tested and got an increase in T4. I felt slightly better but my PND was playing

A really useful illustration of the very low relative risk of thrombosis with the AstraZeneca covid vaccine compared to thrombosis risks such as the combined oral contraceptive, thrombosis in the general population and the high risk from covid infection

(New here!) Does endometriosis mean daily pain?
Hi, I am 19 years old and I've been suffering with severe period pain for about 6 years. I've been sick and almost fainted countless times. Went to my GP last year and was given mefenamic acid, which did nothing even when taken with painkillers. Went back to GP and was put on the pill. Still during pill

Is there a limit or risk to having multiple consecutive IUDs?
My second consecutive IUD is due to expire in August and I’m so confused about what to do next. I love having an IUD and it’s definitely the perfect contraceptive option for me. However I am unable to find much online about having IUDs consecutively. Does my body need to have a break? Are there risks
