Postpone period whilst 6 months into IUD
Hi all I understand you may not have an answer but having a discussion may help me feel better ! I have had the Mirina IUD for 6 months now as a treatment for Endo after surgery and still getting monthly bleeds. When I was taking the pill I would take a back to back packet if I wanted to postpone a bleed

Changes In Immune System
After living with UP for around 30yrs and Systemic Mastocytosis diagnosed 13yrs ago. I have had sepsis 3 times. The 1st time due to an abscess on my ovary and infection due to coil contraceptive. The 2nd time no cause was found. The 3rd time I’d had an accident and broken 4 ribs and punctured my lung

Could I be pregnant on Copper coil?
I had copper coil inserted May 2021...since then I've had my periods although they have been sporadic. Though I have missed period last month? Could I be pregnant, I'm going to test this weekend. It's still in place though so it's not like it's come out.

Met with surgeon 1st time, forced to make on spot decision.
I had my 2nd hospital appt this week, where they confirmed I have endo. My left ovary is stuck to my womb & I have some endo inside my womb from what they can see in the internal scan. After just finding this out she asked me to pick if I wanted the coil to help symptoms or a Laparoscopy. She said the

Pelvic Inflammatory Disease - how to recover?
Recovering from or living with Pelvic Inflammatory Disease? Please tell me your story. Maybe caused by copper IUD?? I am 45 years old and was very active and busy up until mid April this year. Regular 5-8 km running and upwards of 10,000 steps per day. No health issues. Had copper coil fitted in 2013

Adenomyosis and endometriosis doubling progesterone pill
Yesterday I was diagnosed with adenomyosis on a scan and probably endometriosis. Initial options are the coil or doubling my progesterone pill. I’ve doubled and feel awful! Upset stomach and nausea, can’t be a coincidence? Does anyone have any experience with the coil that’s positive? I’m at a loss

Cardiac Arrest survivor
Hi everyone, new here so just a quick (or not) intro; isn't it great to be alive! Glad you're on this mortal coil as well, long that may remain. It's been 18 months since that fateful day that my family went through the hell of seeing me with my heart stopped. They rallied round and took it in turns

Can a 3 year old MIRENA coil cause thrush symptoms.
Hi all this is my first post. I’ve had the mirena coil for the last 3 and a half years. I got this after being diagnosed with PCOS at an early age and not having much luck with the pill. I am undergoing a huge period of consistent pain and now I’m in the process of going in for surgery to see if

Mirena coil side effects
Hi there I got the Mirena coil in six months ago and was wondering what peoples experiences were in terms of how long your body takes to adjust to it. Two months after getting it I now have perioral dermatitis on my face, vulva eczema and spots of my chest and back. My mood has been slightly off also

Thyroid swelling
About 2.5 years ago I noticed my neck looked a bit swollen and I feel like it’s got steadily more pronounced. Blood tests (FBC and U&Es and free T3, free T4 and TSH) are normal and my ultrasound was normal and the GP couldn’t feel anything when he felt my neck. I’m 31, a midwife doing shift work and
