Living with an ICD
Hi, My name is Gwen and I’ve been living with an
ICD
for 17 years, I am hoping to set up a face to face support group people living with an
ICD
. 17 years ago there was no support groups or any organisations to help with what I had experienced.

Heart or anxiety?
I have a history of heart arrhythmia and a slightly enlarged heart, but have
ICD
and have remained in sinus rhythm so don’t think it’s down to that.

Painful penetration and coil
My gynae has suggested that I switch from the combined pill, which I've been on since I was 18 (for contraception and endo purposes) for the mirena coil. I've read lots on here about the mirena coil, so I know others have had lots of mixed experiences with it, but I'm willing to try anything at this

OCD Update
Hi, 2 years ago I came to this platform to ask for help for my OCD. I’ve struggled with OCD and Emetophobia (fear of being sick) since I could remember.

Marina Coil
Hey all.. I had my coil fitted whilst having my lap 2 weeks ago today. When I woke up I was bleeding very heavily, it stopped for 2 days then started and it’s still going😫. The reason they gave me the coil was because my periods useto last around 5-6 weeks but they said it would stop it. The pains

Hashi's & Contraception Injection
Hi Everyone, I have hashi's and currently take the depo Provera contraceptive injection. I was recently told the injection stops the pituitary gland producing hormones and therefore you don't release an egg. With the pituitary connection I wondered if this will have an effect on my Hashi's? Does anyone

Advice and opinions on cool or ablation please
I’ve finally had an appointment with the gynaecologist specialist today and was very relieve that he finally listened about my endometriosis and agrees that it is the cause of all my symptoms. I explained that I suffer during ovulation and mendtruation but that heavy painful periods are not the biggest

Pregnant with IUD
Hello. This past week has been particularly rough for my husband and I. A week ago today, we found out we are pregnant. This will be our third child. We were certainly shocked to learn this since I have had a ParaGard IUD in place for a little over a year. I had the device put in at my 6 week checkup

Menstrual problems.
Hello! I am after some advice on my current situation TIA for any replies! I’m 24 years old and have been having problems with my period for 16 years now.

Feeling Low
In 2011 I went to the GP where they diagnosed me with suspected IBS. Along side this, I had blood tests and went through the whole riggor of rulling out food allergies etc. Fast forward to 2016 and i was told by the doctor I most likely had Endometriosis. So what began was a trial of different pain
