My mum is going to have ICD box - please share experiences :)
However, her main anxiety is from the
ICD
box. Could any of you share some experiences with your
ICD
box please that I could show her to hopefully put her mind at rest. It does sound scary but also quite reassuring in a way too. Thanks

Hello there I truly feel your pain. After I gave birth to my daughter in 2008 I started to have alot of new pain and bleeding. Was diagnosed with endometriosis. The bleeding was severe and drained me of energy. I was put on numerous contraceptive pills, implant, coil nothing seemed to work. 8 years later

Possible endo/rejected referrals
Hi everyone. I'm new here but wondered whether anyone has had a similar experience to me. A few years ago I was on the contraceptive pill, when I noticed that my periods were getting later and later. I used to get the normal bleed during the seven day break of not taking the pill, but then I started

PCOS vs Hashimostos
Hi. I've just had the results from my Medichecks "Ultimate Performance" test and I am really very concerned. I took the blood test first thing in the morning after fasting and avoided levothyroxine for 24hrs. The excellent accompanying letter (from a female GP) strongly indicates PCOS which seems

weight loss after coil
hi all, I am having my coil removed this week. Since having it I’ve gained around 7lbs that will not shift, even though I exercise a lot and eat very well. Could this be hormone induced? Do you think it’ll go when the coil is removed?

Mirena, cramps and spotting
Hi, I am 10 weeks post excision by lap and Mirena insertion. I have only had 2 weeks not bleeding in the 10 weeks and have daily cramping which radiates down my legs. The pain isn't constant, it comes and goes during the day. Could this still be the coil settling? Not sure how long I can take the daily

why isn’t testing for all STD’s important before IUD insertion
I got the IUD insertion back in December 2021 I remember being tested for chlamydia etc etc. but I don’t recall them testing for all stds, why is it that it’s not important to test for all stds before insertion so you can be aware of possible issues ? My friend recently tested positive for herpes 1 and

Pain return and spotting
Hi I was first diagnosed with endometriosis 9 years ago to which I had laparoscopy and then the Mirena fitted. I seem to have been able to manage my symptoms over the last 9 years between being pregnant and the coil. I have had my most recent coil in 2.5 years and now I seem to all of a sudden be getting

Forging On in Permanent AF
ICD
fitted the following week and then I got out just before everywhere went into COVID lockdown. So physical or mental rehab had to be DIY/Dr Google. I skipped Persistent AF and found myself in Permanent AF; which is how it's been since. 10mg of Bisoprolol, 20mg Rivaroxban and 2.5mg Ramipril.
