Life is a Wonderful Thing
On the 15th October 2013 I kissed Jayne goodbye with the usual “see you later” and went off to my job - the Service Manager of the local BMW Dealer, the trade I’d been in since starting as an Apprentice Mechanic in 1980. Rewind to the Thursday, 2 weeks prior. I’d complained of a nagging headache and

Mirena coil?
Just wanting some advice/reassurance on the Mirena coil, I had it fitted 3 weeks ago, didn’t have much of a choice as doctors said they wouldn’t do a second laparoscopy without me trying the coil first. Also got prescribed naproxen to try and reduce the amount of codeine I’m taking (wayyyy to much for

I’m in more pain since being diagnosed and getting the coil fitted! Has anyone else had this or is it in my head!?
I first got my period when I was 12 and they have always been terrible, I told my mum and she told me it was all normal and periods are generally very painful and there is a lot of blood, but I always thought they were way too painful to be normal (In her defence I also thought my birth mark was cancer

Is it my copper coil or ibs
I had my copper coil fitted in March due my check up next week but obviously can’t do this. I have cramping pain in my lower abdomen. I don’t know if it is an issue with my coil or is an ibs flare up I can go days with no pain and then flares up ?

Adenomyosis
Hello ladies- hope you are all well and coping ok during this horrid period in time. I hope you don't mind me posting here...I'd posted on the adenomyosis page, but it's so quiet and I've had no response. I was wondering if you could describe your adeno pain (where, what it feels like), when you have

Can a hysterectomy really help with endometriosis pain?
Girls I’m at my wits end, I’ve had surgery after surgery, diagnosed at 22 and now 33, my endo has been relentless, excruciating and taken so much from me. I was incredibly lucky to get pregnant after having ivf after surgery in 2018 and my pregnancy was a utter dream, I had zero pain - it’s was amazing

Scan and dye
I can not have MRI due to having a
ICD
Aalso I react to the dye use when you you have CD scan. It causes lower kidney function which happened when I had angioplasty. What else is available to check heart etc

What does clearing the memory on an ICD mean ?
Hi My husband has VT and due to it being unstable he had an
ICD
fitted . He has a device by his bed which downloads data as he is having times still where the
ICD
needs to pace the heart . When he visits the hospital in January he needs to go get the memory cleared.

Can't feel copper coil strings, what should I do?
I had the copper coil inserted on 9th march and can't feel the strings. I've also had continual bleeding/spotting and I'm due a period though it hasn't come. The doctor told me to feel for strings bit I can't feel them, do you think I should go back and am I at risk of getting pregnant?

How many contraceptive treatments did you have to be put through before getting a diagnoses?
Hi! So I am 19 and have had issues with extremely intense period cramps for 4 or so years now- I know I am young but unfortunately my periods were so heavy and painful I would not be able to move. As a result the doctors started me on the pill- I bled for 6 months straight on the first pill I took and

Symptoms, triggers, flare ups, pain relief...what are yours?
Hello ladies- hope you are all well and coping ok during this horrid period in time. I was wondering if you could describe your pain (where, what it feels like), when you have a flare up and what triggers it and any other symptoms you experience as a result of adenomyosis. Thought it might help to know

Mirena moved?
Hi all, hope everyone is coping as much as possible right now!! Does anyone have experience of their Mirena coil shifting into an odd position and causing constant cramps? Looking for reassurance and/or advice. I had a Mirena coil inserted on the 24th Feb and have been in near constant agony ever since
