Coil strings hanging out
Hi, I had a copper coil fitted a couple of months ago, I had an infection early on which was treated with antibiotics. However my strings keep hanging out of my vagina? It’s happened a couple of times, is it normal?

Vaginal discharge
I had a copper IUD inserted 3 months ago and now I’m having yellowy, smelly discharge (a lot of it) everyday. Does anyone have an idea of what might be going on?

Advice/experiences of removing merina coil and managing endo hormone free?
Hi Everyone, I wanted to get peoples experiences of managing with endo without any hormones. I have always reacted badly to hormones, they don't agree with me at all. I've tried multiple pills, depo injections, implant and prior to diagnosis through a lap (July 2018) I was on the non-hormonal copper

total meltdown - endo and coil ruining my relationship?
Hi ladies I'm am so desperately searching for answers, and I thought you might empathise with my situation.

Looking for advice..
Hey guys, I am looking for a bit of advice. I've been suffering with endometriosis symptoms for a very long time but never knew what it was.

ICD Procedure
Way back in April I saw the consultant in Liverpool Heart and Chest and agreed to have
ICD
. I was provisionally listed for 19th August 2019. I been waiting patiently ever since for the letter to arrive saying that the "provisionally" is no longer the case and that I am attending on the 19th August.

To coil or not to coil...
I am due to have my surgery with a BSGE specialist in London at the end of this month, she would like to fit the Mirena Coil during. I have had the coil before and it helped my pain and symptoms for a solid 8 months, but then I had it removed as the pain returned and my mental health started to suffer

Mirena Coil Pain: is this normal?
I had the mirena coil fitted five weeks ago during my first diagnostic laparoscopy where endometriosis was diagnosed. They didn’t remove any tissue, because that’s not how they do it at that hospital; the first laparoscopy is purely diagnostic. I have a follow-up appointment with them on the 31st.

Pain worst when ovulating
Hi everyone, I'm undiagnosed but having laparoscopy at the end of the month. I'm starting to question myself now and worried that it's all in my head. I have the mirena coil which has helped massively with the heavy bleeding and pain but I'm finding ovulation the worst time of the month. Bloating, bleeding

Anybody Else Taking a Statin?
It's been a little over a year since I had 4 cardiac arrests & had a pacemaker/
ICD
put in. Cardiologist started me on Lipitor (Atorvastatin) in February. It worked great, and my cholesterol fell to half in a couple months. I didn't have any side effects from the Lipitor at first.

False memory OCD
Hi all I have suffered with pure ocd for a long time and have bouts of wellness and relapse. I'm currently having a bit of a relapse - cannot stop ruminating on a false memory - many years ago I got drunk whilst I was looking after my niece and nephew- my ex boyfriend was there at the time too.

I haven't had children but I'm interested in the IUD
Hello! I have recently come off the birth control pill Cerelle and I'm looking into getting the copper IUD instead. Does anyone have any information on this as a lot of people keep telling me I need to have children first but my Nurse was more than happy for me to have it if I wanted too?

I’ve been on my period since the 26th September and it’s been really heavy and still is very heavy. I had the coil removed on the 27th. There is no sign of this bleeding stopping. I’m passing large clots and can physically feel them coming out. Also today, I have got diarrhoea and just feel so weak and
