Experiences with

Intrauterine system

hey. I’m nearly 2 months post laparoscopy + official diagnosis; have had the hormonal coil fitted during my op and my skin and hormones have been mental.

Hi all, So sorry to post, I'll try my best to keep as brief as possible. Heavy painful periods since about 16 that was getting progressively worse. Painful sex from about 18.

I’m in such agony again . I had excision surgery about 6 months ago to remove severe endo and unstick everything . Pain was constant and then I have had a scan which showed a 5 cm complex cyst.

hello ! I’m now 2 months post laparoscopy and hysteroscopy and have some questions as doctors can’t seem to help/advise. I’m still quite swollen in the area, bloating and that. I feel exhausted some days like I’ve got the flu and then some days full of more energy. If I press on the areas I had

I have had endo symptoms for as long as I can remember - first went to the doctors about 10 years ago and got put straight

At what point do you consider changing clinics? I've been with mine since 2020 - I was lucky to have my son via IUI using a sperm donor. 2.5 years on I've been trying for a sibling. 3 IUIs and 2 ICSI rounds later no luck. I've paid for my next two rounds via Access Fertility but I'm having doubts about

After over 6 months of being on the waiting list I had my first gynecologist appointment today where I was met with a endo specialist who claims that I do not have endometrosis.
