I had my op 3/4 years ago now, had a laparoscopic ablation which seemingly did nothing at all. It took until a couple of days ago to convince my GP to give me stronger painkillers than paracetamol and ibuprofen. Whilst the flares aren't everyday, the ones I get each week are awful and are making work

First of all I want to say thank you to all the advice people have given me. I almost cried when I read peoples posts because it felt like I was being listened to. I feel like I've gained alot more insight and the book that was recommended to me really helped! I had my smear examination yesterday and

Gyne appointment
Hi everyone Well another wasted gyne dr appointment. I’d been referred by another dr for a coil to be fitted. I turned up and there were 5 people in a tiny room. The dr starts to explain about the coil the same pros/cons convo that I’ve heard before. I stopped him mid flow. I told him I’ve not had a

Hi, Read lots of posts but this is my first time posting. Brief history, I am 46 years old and was first diagnosed hypothyroid and B12 deficient in 2014 when my periods were reversed (heavy bleeding 28 days a month, not bleeding 4 days). Having a coil fitted stopped this but I know if it was removed

Feeling lost and confused!
Helo, Yesterday I went for a Ultrasound Scan and the lady said that both my ovaries were enlarged and were polycystic. The doctor rang today saying that I had cysts in my ovaries but otherwise I'm fine no need to worry about anything. I went on to tell him that I suffer from very bad acne, Excess

Agony
Evening I’ve just discovered why I’ve been so poorly I’ve just literally started my period and I’m in mega agony. I had my laparoscopy and coil fitted on 25 Sep can’t remember as I’ve had a few but how long has it taken people for their periods to settle down... And if you’ve been in mega agony have

Stem Cell Transplantation at Mass General
I have posted about this particular stem cell transplantation at least twice before. I understand that it was a "pay for play" situation. I understand that it is an "N of 1" situation. I understand that "placebo effect" could be a factor. I understand that much broader studies may be necessary. With

Suspected endo?
Hi all, I’ve been suffering for many years with pain! So I have a 12 year old son and after him I had the mirena coil put in because most pills didn’t work for me I’d bleed really heavy for weeks and be in so much pain, tried the injection also didn’t suit so only option apparently was the coil, 8 years

Hello everyone. I was diagnosed with fibroids a few years ago advised to have the Merina coil fitted. This worked for almost 2 years until I started experiencing very heavy bleeding again. Had a scan that showed the fibroids had grown and that new ones had appeared and that one had pushed the coil out

No period, negative pregnancy test
Hi, just after some advice really. Had the coil removed in dec 2019 to try for a baby (I’m 37). In May this year started with unbearable pains, cramping, excruciating pain during bowel movements. After numerous trips to a&e and my doctor I’m on a “urgent” waiting list to see a gynaecologist as the doctors

Periods stopping(?)
Hey again everyone, Just wanting to ask if anyone has experience of the Mirena and it stopping periods? How long did that take for you? Did you take the coil out instead? I’ve had once since Dec 2019 and was told it usually stops them by about the sixth month mark but I’ve just had significantly more
