What contraception with endo
Hello, A couple of years ago I had a laparoscopy which confirmed my endometriosis diagnosis. At the time I’d had my mirena coil for about 3 years. The coil has worked wonders in reducing some of the symptoms from my endo and the surgeon told me that they’d recommend me keeping the coil in order

Opinions on my 2nd MRI results
Hello, I just received the results from 2nd MRI (results below and photos in reply), previous one was from Jan/2023 (results in bio).

coil advice
hi there I have hormonal migraines, which are worsening as I go through peri menopause. I am hoping that the mirena coil could help by possibly reducing or stopping my periods (when my headaches are at their worst) One attempt to insert the coil at my GP surgery was traumatic and unsuccessful. I hoped

Mirena and Exercise
Hi all - has anyone experienced bleeding after exercise with the Mirena? I had mines fitted in November after surgery so it might still be settling but I have noticed a pattern that I bleed after I’ve been horse riding - every time now (I have lessons once a week). And with this bleed I do have some

Hormone Help
Hello all, it’s me again… I’m wondering if anyone can help/provide advice with the contraceptive treatment I’m currently having issue with. Previously I was taking desogestrel back to back no break to stop ovulation. To say this didn’t agree with me would be an understatement, I bled every day and

Mirena Coil Fatigue
Hi all, just looking for some advice or if you have had similar experience. I got diagnosed with acute stage 5 endometriosis in January, and the gynocologist fitted me with the mirena coil. I was told if this did t work I’d have to start HRT for 6-12 months, as you can imagine this was a lot to take

Emotional struggles
this is a tricky one and one I feel my partner doesn’t understand - I’m hoping someone can relate… I found out one of my best friends is pregnant at the weekend and I am over the moon for her - myself, bestie and other friends had gone out for lunch and they were all discussing babies and that the track

misunderstood peri -menopause treatment
I had a very traumatic experience in my peri menopause. Due to heavy bleeding and clotting in my last 2 years of peri menopause I was hospitalized with an anemia. Given tablets to help stem bleeding and they caused jaundice. Was offered hysteroscopy under NHS however not given the option for sedation

disappointed with symptoms still after 2 surgeries :(
I’ve recently had 2 surgeries, one in January where they removed a small amount of endo and then a more complex surgery 4 weeks after with a specialist endo surgeon. I’m now 5 weeks post op and still suffering. I think my period might be due soon but not sure as the surgeries had messed things up a bit

Chronic Illness Guess Who
Long story short, things have taken a drastic turn. I don't know if it's my Endo causing my health spiral, or a combination what pots or what the fuck going on. Even though the PoTs symptoms I've been experiencing have been going on since I was around 13 (i'm 28 now), in November 2023 they took a nosedive
