Any advice for dealing with extreme anxiety of having to remove and replace hormonal coil?
So I had the mirena coil fitted about 2 years ago. Although everything has been great, I had an absolutely horrific insertion (I lost consciousness on the bed and vomited afterwards from the pain). I’m normally able to brush this experience off but tonight I’ve just been filled with this horrific sense

Hair loss and acne
I had the copper coil fitted 4 weeks ago because I don't get along with hormones. Since then my hair has been falling out in clumps, im fatigued and I am getting hormonal acne all over my chin which I never get!? I'm at the point where I'm genuinely scared to wash my hair in case it falls out anymore

Life after a negative lap
Haven't been active on here for a while but thought I'd offer an update, maybe this might be helpful to anyone who has a laparoscopy that finds nothing. Had my lap in September and felt absolutely awful when they told me they didn't find any endo. I felt like if they couldn't identify the problem, it

Hi all, I have a rather strange question. Has anyone tried or heard anything about home insemination. My partner struggles to ejaculate but can produce the material. I have asked the clinic to do iui but they said that the best way forward is ICSI. With nothing wrong with me, I feel we have not even

Hi, I’m hoping someone came help! I had my first laparoscopic surgery last February and during my surgery I got the marina coil fitted. I had some bleeding for about 3-4 weeks after the surgery but literally nothing since... until about 4 weeks about when I was bleeding for about 2 weeks on and off..

Feeling lost!
Hello there, Apolgoies in advance for the long post, I'm a bit lost and struggling with what to do next, so thought I would post on here and see what happens. I've been back and forth to the doctor/hospital for the past 9 years with suspected Endometriosis in my bowel area. In the last 2/3 years, a nurse

Mirena Coil removal issue
Hi all, Me and partner have decided we want to try for a baby. So I’ve been for my coil removing today at the doctors. But unfortunately the doctor couldn’t remove it as she couldn’t find the strings, I thought this would be an issue as my past smears my strings weren’t located. I had to have ultrasounds

Adhesions no endo found but said could be in the muscle?!
In 2017 I had my first lap. Found adhesions. Was my ovary stuck to pelvis or something like that. They asked if I had surgery before as that could possibly cause it but this was my first surgery. She said it could be in the muscle and/or could be adeno it wouldn’t be able to say for sure unless it got

Ultrasound with IUD?
Hello, Does anyone know if any of the NHS services will provide an ultrasound scan with IUD fitting? I am considering getting the IUD but don't feel comfortable just guessing that "it all went well" once the procedure is done...

Vaginal ultrasound, is pain normal?
Hey guys! I had an abdominal ultrasound yesterday to check on my coil and they asked to do a vaginal scan, I tried but I couldn’t tolerate it, is anyone with endometriosis in the same boat? I feel so pathetic, I just get so scared 😢

Anyone pregnant on more a coil?
Any ladies out there been pregnant while on the mirena? Freaking out a bit here had some symptoms of pregnancy (mainly breast tenderness) which isn’t normal for me unless pregnant. So took a test and I could see the faintest of faint lines but it’s on 2 tests. Squinty eyes but when it dries it’s pink

RLS and progesterone birth control... trigger?
I was doing really well on 10/325 hydrocodone every night plus 1/2 pill of my .25 mg Requip to keep the RLS at bay. But lately, I have had a series of really bad nights (and then DAYS) when I can’t seem to get relief from my regular meds. The only thing I can think of that is different is that I got

I'm new here - Getting pregnant with Endo.
Hello, I was diagnosed with Endo around 5 years ago. I was having surgery to remove ovarian cysts when they also spotted the Endo and performed a laparoscopy. I had a mirena coil fitted to help prevent it growing back. I am now married and we are trying for a baby! Coil was removed in June 2020 and
