PCOS vs Hashimostos
Hi. I've just had the results from my Medichecks "Ultimate Performance" test and I am really very concerned. I took the blood test first thing in the morning after fasting and avoided levothyroxine for 24hrs. The excellent accompanying letter (from a female GP) strongly indicates PCOS which seems

weight loss after coil
hi all, I am having my coil removed this week. Since having it I’ve gained around 7lbs that will not shift, even though I exercise a lot and eat very well. Could this be hormone induced? Do you think it’ll go when the coil is removed?

endometrioma
Hi all, I have recently been diagnosed with an Endometrioma in my left ovary & endometriosis. This has been a hard diagnosis to hear, given the side effects. I am 25 years old, without children, but I plan to have them with my partner in about 5 years. I am in severe pain during my period & often

Mirena, cramps and spotting
Hi, I am 10 weeks post excision by lap and Mirena insertion. I have only had 2 weeks not bleeding in the 10 weeks and have daily cramping which radiates down my legs. The pain isn't constant, it comes and goes during the day. Could this still be the coil settling? Not sure how long I can take the daily

why isn’t testing for all STD’s important before IUD insertion
I got the IUD insertion back in December 2021 I remember being tested for chlamydia etc etc. but I don’t recall them testing for all stds, why is it that it’s not important to test for all stds before insertion so you can be aware of possible issues ? My friend recently tested positive for herpes 1 and

Pain return and spotting
Hi I was first diagnosed with endometriosis 9 years ago to which I had laparoscopy and then the Mirena fitted. I seem to have been able to manage my symptoms over the last 9 years between being pregnant and the coil. I have had my most recent coil in 2.5 years and now I seem to all of a sudden be getting

hi all!! Not been on for a while but am glad to see this is still going strong. I was diagnosed with endometriosis in 2015, I tried everything and eventually settled with the marina coil which improved my symptoms drastically. In 2018 I had the coil removed to try for a baby and was lucky enough to

Period after coil removal
Hi I have endometriosis and adenomyosis and I’ve just had my coil removed to try for a baby. I got my coil out about a month ago and I was due my period 2 weeks ago and it’s still not come. I did a pregnancy test last week and then again today after a week. Both were negative. Has anyone else experienced

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

Copper IUD and Endometriosis link
Hi, I’m curious to find out if having the copper coil (non hormonal one - not Mirena) may have triggered my endometriosis. Especially where mine was (uteral ligaments - behind the womb). Just wondered if anyone else has had a Copper coil and since suffered with Endo?

Fibrotic Endometriosis
I have had an absolute joke of an endo journey. To cut a long story short - after years of scans, a coil for 'treatment', pain etc... I finally had a lap 1.5 yrs ago and was told i didn't have it - I had an mri a few months after the lap. The consultant wouldn't show me the report, even though I asked

So at 6 weeks I posted about pain to one side, I was finally send to SAU yesterday for bloods and an ultrasound, my back is so tender to touch and they have found a dark spot in my kidney area?

MRI result: no appointment set to discuss my results over two months later. Looking for private consultant recommendations in Surrey area
Hi everyone, It has been two months since I was emailed a very brief description of my MRI results. I have yet to be given an appointment to discuss them. Everytime I ring the gynecologist I am told an appointment has been "requested", which is what I was also told two months ago. The MRI has shown that

Zoladex wearing off??
Hi all, I've been on Zoladex since march last year , last week I had my 16th and final jab. Since January I've been getting alot of the Endo flare ups but they haven't been as intense as previous. So whilst painful I could still function to some degree. Last night however I had some spotting and pain
