MiniPill and Bleeding
Hi, I just wondered if anyone else has experienced this or can advise on what to do? It is suspected that I have endometriosis, to try help improve things for me I was placed on the minipill. When first changing to it I had a 2 week long heavy excruciatingly painful period. Since then I've still had

Recent Diagnosis - What are my options?
Hi, I have recently received a diagnosis of "suspected endometriosis" by my GP and am in the process of figuring everything out. I'm currently 31 and had been on the combined pill since I was 18. I got fed up with how the pills made me feel so I decided to go hormone free and got the copper coil

Pressure from fibroids
hi I have been told I have a few fibroids. These have caused heavy periods in the past but all under control after i had a Merina coil fitted a few years ago. My question is is it possible for either the coil or the fibroids now to be causing me lower back pain? Been like it for a few weeks now even

Experiences on the coil?
Hi all, I had the coil placed during my Laparoscopy at the end of May. During June I pretty much spotted all through, dark blood and fresh bloody from the bottom. July was the same but started bleeding more fresh blood. Was still only when I wiped, August seems to have gone I to full bleeding, period

Back to the start again… please send advice
hello everybody. I have posed here a couple of times. I have the “typical” endo symptoms. Heavy/painful periods, pain on period passing stool/urine. Ovulation pain. Was put on the Depo for 10 years and just forgotten about. So had no periods = no pain. But then I started getting cramping pain, especially

False Hope?

What do I do?

Pain that worsens upon movement? And triggers longer episodes of pelvic pain if I’ve been lifting or especially walking anywhere.
So, just over 3 years ago, I had a tubo-ovarian abscess, which I was in hospital for around a week with… It’s likely that this may have been caused by the coil itself and a consequent infection. Managed conservatively at the time but after repeated infections and severe pain, I was finally offered surgery

IUD and awful anxiety
I got a progesterone IUD inserted about 5 weeks ago due to having pre cancerous cells in my uterus (my mom died from uterine cancer). Now I’m a few days from getting my period and my anxiety is absolutely crippling and awful. Due to the awful anxiety I also get simple partial seizures which causes more

Starting to consider hormonal treatment.. advice?
Hi all - I know this will be so unique to the individual and will seek help from my GP when I come to make a decision, but just trying to get a general opinion on experiences with hormonal treatment.

HRT options
Hello All, I had the Mirena coil (IUD) since starting menopause and was taking oral oestrogen HRT in addition for the hot flushes (nearly 10 years now). I was on Elleste solo 1mg, which I only took every 3-4 days, as I found this dose was okay for controlling the flushes, if I took more my breasts

Pelvic and Endo update
So, as I mentioned in the past, I have been undergoing multiple scans, different hormonal contraceptives etc to help with my heavy bleeding, pains etc. Before they used to say it might be Pelvic inflammatory dease as to why I was on them, they also keep seeing this cyst on my left side which either grows

Adenomyosis diagnosis
Hi everyone I was diagnosed with Adenomyosis last September after suddenly starting to flood during menstruation which I initially put down to being perimenopausal (late 40s).
