Copper coil issue
With the copper coil does anyone experience severe bloating. I had mine fitted on the 27th may and ever since I’ve had on and off spotting/bleeding/brown discharge. Also pain on and off and bloating. Can anyone relate?

Mirena coil pain
I had the Mirena coil fitted just two days ago and I am still in absolute agony. I’ve had to phone in sick at work today. Has anyone else had this and if so when did the pain ease off? I have read that you shouldn’t have any pain effecting your daily activities. I really can’t cope with it anymore and

Alternatives to ICD + pacemaker
My cardiologist is suggesting I have a combined pacemaker and
ICD
implanted. He is concerned about risk of sudden arrest which apparently is higher in patients like me with epicardial fibrosis. So probably I will go ahead.

How long?
I need some help please, I had my coil removed in February to try for a baby, how long do they advice to try before the endo gets to much again? Also I haven't had the covid injection because I don't want to add any more problems to falling,/carrying. Is there anyone else that feels like there isn't

Fibroids and hrt
I found a lump in my abdomen early April, which my gp also felt, in the next couple of weeks I could feel further lumps and was referred for a gynaecology scan which revealed a 6.5 cm ovarian cyst and a small fibroid. The mirema coil was removed at the same time. 5 weeks later I had an abdominal scan

Coil fitting experiences
I have just had a coil fitted this morning and the pain is horrendous, it was much worse then I thought it would be. Does anyone have any tips on what to do to ease the pain and how long it takes for the pain to ease off?

No endo found
Girls I feel so lost. On Thursday I had my laparoscopy, they didn't find anything. They tried to send me home without telling me anything other than they didn't find anything and I could be discharged so I said I needed to know more as they did a hysteroscopy and fitted a coil but last I knew was they

After 13yrs finally have an answer!
Warning, could be a tad too much information for people below! After 13yrs of symptoms and issues I finally have a diagnosis!! Symptoms started just after my second son was born although thinking back now I think I had symptoms in my teens. Fobbed off by many GP’s and then finally found one who listened

Risk of ICDs and living with an ICD
Following a heart attack in 2019 and having a stent fitted, my cardiologist has advised having an
ICD
fitted. I am trying to weigh up the pros and cons of a traditional
ICD
and a subcutaneous
ICD
("S-
ICD
").

#WellnessWednesday What's the deal with TMS for OCD?
Hey everyone, If there's one thing we get a lot of questions about, it's TMS. YES! Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation. If you haven't heard this term before, here is a quick explanation of what TMS is:
TMS is a non-invasive way of “stimulating” (or changing) activity in the brain using magnetic fields

Really need some opinions here...
Hi y'all hope you're having a great day!! So I went to a new psychiatrist (last one retired) to talk about starting on medication and since I was there, I decided to ask for a diagnosis (I have obsessive thoughts, tics, social anxiety...) Well... First of all she said she doesn't like to put "tags"

Mirena Coil flipped upside down & embedded
Hi, has anyone been through something similar? So it has now been 3 attempts to remove my coil. Today they tried as a hysteroscopy with local anaesthetic, 20 mins in and in so much pain they gave up. When they had one last look with the camera they noticed the coil and flipped upside down, strings wrapped
