Just looking for advice really, I was on the depo injection after having my baby but it sent me crazy and major hormone overload so i came off of it. I had a copper coil inserted between of march so 8 weeks ago and I haven't stopped bleeding since, not one day. Is this normal and will it settle? I'm

Mirena IUD
What’s everyone’s experience with the mirena coil? I have had mine for 4 months now and had it inserted whilst I was under for my lap. I have a new symptom of stinging pains and my cramps are unbearable?! Is it worth me sticking it out? My surgeon always says it is best to stick it as it hurts having

why isn’t testing for all STD’s important before IUD insertion
maybe I'm just ranting but this has been eating at me since I found out , I guess the main question is, can they actually do the
iud
insertion without testing for ALL STDs, if so why?

copper coil, irregular period
This doesn’t worry me however my second cycle seems a lot longer, my Flo app is saying I’m 6 days late, was just wondering if anyone else has experienced irregular periods following an
iud
insertion?

Copper IUD
So basically it's been 7 months since I had the copper
iud
fitted first few months had the usual side effects (cramping heavier periods etc).

MRI Result: Ovary Stuck to Womb yet gynaecologist says "no active endo"?
I also have an
iud
which has ruined my life for the past 2 years. They thought it was in the wrong position due to my pain. I was in less pain before the
iud
and I was a completely different woman despite it all. I've had two transvaginal ultrasounds which came back clear prior to the MRI.

Copper IUD and Endometriosis link
Hi, I’m curious to find out if having the copper coil (non hormonal one - not Mirena) may have triggered my endometriosis. Especially where mine was (uteral ligaments - behind the womb). Just wondered if anyone else has had a Copper coil and since suffered with Endo?

problems possibly from my IUD
since having my
IUD
fitted nearly 3 years ago after my 3rd child I have suffered with thrush and BV re-occurring. it’s starting to get me down as there always seems to be something wrong and all the Drs do is fob me off a course of antibiotics here one pessary there and it never clears up!

MRI result: no appointment set to discuss my results over two months later. Looking for private consultant recommendations in Surrey area
I am also currently unemployed I still have an
IUD
that they refuse to remove with adequate pain relief, the MRI showed potential endo in my vagina which explains my PTSD from having an
IUD
inserted while awake. I have been trying to get it removed for two years.

Mirena IUD for Endo/Adeno
If you have an
IUD
as a management tool for endometriosis, did you experience this and, if so, does it get better over time? Is the
IUD
, in your opinion, worth it? Thank you so much, Chelsea x

Hashimotos and which contraception?
Mirena coil seems to be similar to mini pill and both scare me in terms of adding to my acne and mood swing issues Copper
iud
apparently can flare up hashimotos / Can really deplete zinc stores and cause heavy periods - i am an anemic But, I am starting to believe this is the best option?

ET and periods/menstruation
And i'm curious if anyone has found a way to better regulate their periods, because as i understand it MPN patients should not take hormonal pill/
IUD
because of clotting risk Thanks

Kyleena IUD
Hi, I'm just looking for some advice regarding my
IUD
. I had it inserted over two years ago and I've being having on going issues with painful cramps in my lower abdomen. It like a stabbing unbearable pain. There's also been occasions where I have bled after intercourse too.

Only 1 IUD string
I had the copper coil fitted about a month ago. Since day 1 I have only been able to feel 1 string- is this ok? I'm currently going through a heavy and painful period, so I dont feel like getting it checked right now. Plus getting an appountment is SO difficult in the UK at the moment!
