Pelvic Pain Worse at Night
Hi all. Currently undiagnosed/suspected endo. Trying to document when I get flare ups of pelvic pain/cramping and notice any links/triggers. I don’t have periods due to having the coil (used to have incredibly painful periods/heavy periods) but still suffering from pelvic pain. If I get any spotting

I just had an IUD fitted this morning I had no idea what to expect I figured it was like having a smear test, uncomfortable but not painful. This was not the case for me I found it extremely painful I had to use gas and air

Hospital in London?
Would anyone be able to please recommend a hospital in London where they actually respond and have time to treat you? I've been with King's hospital and having a horrendous experience. No proper advice, no response just trying to chase an appointment via the secretary but being unsuccessful. I won't

contraceptives after lap
I had a laparoscopy around eight weeks ago. The surgeons removed stage 4 endo from various organs including the bowel and got rid of some large ovarian cysts as well. They said after the surgery that they ‘got it all’. They’ve recommended I have a coil or go on the pill after surgery to stop the endo

? Endo back after lap
I had a lap 12 months ago for deep infiltrating endo (it was in my uterus, pelvis, bladder, bowel and rectum). I’ve got a coil in situ to try and keep things at bay. I was put on hormone tablets for 6 months after surgery which stopped in may of this year. The past few months I’ve been getting sharp

Copper IUD
Anyone experienced any sickness/nausea, after having the copper iud placed? Since having it placed I've been feeling really sick to the point where my mouth is watering. I'm trying to rule it out because I'm on medication.

ovarian cysts
hi all, I think the reason for me being in agony pretty much every day is I think I keep having ovarian cysts every month even thought I’m on the pill and the coil … I know most people have no symptoms from this but I’m always in so much pain. Is anyone else dealing with this? If so what is the plan

Help! cascade of hormonal events after Covid booster! Not sure where to turn next…
Hi everyone I started having menopausal symptoms when I was 47. As I had the merino coil I was just given a 50mg oestrogen patch which worked wonders and got rid of the hot sweats. All was running smoothly until about a year later when I started getting hot flashes and itchy skin. Went up to 75 patch
