Feeling without hope
We’ve had a consultation with a top London specialist who’s basically said they have no idea why it’s not working for us and after 3 failed IVF (5 transfers, at local clinic in the North) have advised trying IUI. This was never advised to us initially because of endo so just feel very despairing and

Implant or Injections
I am 21 diagnosed endo laparoscopy last year & had hormonal coil which is due for removal in December (I think it was containing my pain but now it isn’t)My pain is increasing dramatically so consultant has recommended implant or injections when coil is removed. I’m wondering how I am supposed to decide

Ultrasounds/MRIs - My experience and why you need to advocate for yourself if they don’t show Endo!
Controversial take here on ultrasounds and MRIs, but I responded to another users query with the below info, and wanted to share it more widely as I think more people need to challenge their doctors when they are told the scans didn't show anything but you are still in pain. I was diagnosed with severe

Bob update (ICD wound revision)
I was in hospital again yesterday. This was scheduled, following the appearance of Bob and a few friends. Bob was the pet name for a pointy lump next to my clavicle and above my ICD. He was at risk of puncturing through the skin. You can learn about Bob's appearance (or if you are a bit more hip, [i]

Mirena coil during laparoscopy
Hey everyone, I’ve just been for my pre op appointment all went well but I asked the nurse wether I could have my copper coil taken out and replaced with a Mirena during surgery and he said I’d have to speak to the surgeon about it on the day of surgery. This seems really last minute and kinda stresses

Ectopics & Fatigue
Hi, I am new to this forum but I wonder if anyone has any thoughts or comments on my situation. I’m a 66 year old retired male. I had a three lead CRT-D fitted in September and I am now unwell with ectopic beats and general fatigue. I have been to my GP and the hospital several times. At the 6 week ICD

ICD/Pacemaker Job Done
Hi all. Got the implant op on Wednesday and home yesterday. Everything went like clockwork (excuse the pun). I cant praise the staff at Edingurgh Royal Infirmary enough. They were wonderful. It was a very strange experience being awake while this was going on. I could feel all the pulling pushing happening

copper coil
has anyone experienced horrible headaches with the ten year copper coil. I’m only a few weeks in and they said it will take a few months to settle but I thought that would be bleeding or cramps but not migraines? It’s non hormonal so I’m not sure why it wd give me headaches but I also have painful twinges

Confidence
First time on this forum and feeling a little nervous about posting. I had an ICD fitted in 2013 after my heart peaked at 345bpm according to the HRM in the back of the ambulance. The device did its job 6 months later after an episode and kicked 15 times rather than the recognised 3. I had an ablation

Bleeding after Laparoscopy
Hi all, Please note this maybe to much info .... Apologies. Sorry for the question. I know there is a few topics regarding Laparoscopy but just want to understand if what's happening is normal. I had my laparoscopy 3 weeks ago. All the incisions have healed well and from surgery side of things I'm

Feeling deflated after first appointment with Gynaecology! Yet another ultrasound! 😢
Hi I’m completely new to the group, joined after my urology doctor referred me to gynaecology to have a laparoscopy to investigate endometriosis. Since then I have researched a lot and convinced I have endometriosis! Everything I have been through the last 3 years points to endo. (I didn’t know about

ICD: Going under the bonnet again
My post-implantation journey had been going reasonably well until I noticed a tiny hard lump protruding just where the leads enter my subclavian vein. It was very small to begin with and appeared within a couple of weeks of surgery. I thought it was subcutaneous sutures and so left it be. I called it

S-ICD
Hi,Had my subcutaneous ICD fitted just over a month ago. So thought I'd post to let anyone else having one know how it is living with one. Firstly I am doing fine, it was weird at first having a box inside me, but you soon just get on with it. The box is placed a little bit further back than flat
