Mirena coil or pill - experiences/opinions?
Hi all, New to the group - quick(ish) summary of my situation: Came off contraceptive pill (Rigevidon) in November last year, having been on it for around 8 years, and in January began experiencing constant pelvic pain, much like menstrual cramps but on a daily, unrelenting basis. Painkillers had limited

No birth control before stims, egg retrieval
What's the reason for birth control before stims? I've seen online that many people take it before starting stims for egg retrieval. My wife's on day 3 of stims today but no one mentioned for her to take birth control before this retrieval, she just started stims (gonal F) on day 3 of her cycle after

Going for a second opinion?
So it’s been a while since I’ve been on here but since then I had a laparoscopy that was clear apparently. They originally did not want to put me in for a Lap but after months of E.R visits and asking for pain relief after the coil insertion they found a 5cm cyst on my ovary. They told me it was a the

Going through CINIII with high risk hpv.
I have since had bleeding between periods and had my
contraceptive
implant
removed as Dr thought it could be down to hormones as j look like i have healed well from my procedure. Recently in November had my follow up smear and don't quite understand the results.

Gluten Dairy Free
Hi all. I’ve been diagnosed since I was 13. I’ve recently gone gluten and dairy free. I hadn’t had regular periods since early last year when I came off the pill. But since last week my period has come back but with a total vengeance! I’m having a really heavy period and I’m suffering badly. I just wondered

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

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

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
