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

Feeling anxious and panicky
I was diagnosed with heart failure 18 months ago and had an ICD inserted under my skin this April. This came on top of numerous other chronic health issues. I am 80 years old and have had to learn to accept all these difficulties. But last week I started with a bug (not covid) which has given me an horrendous

Hormones - coil and patch
Has anyone been told to try the coil and the patch. I’m really struggling with endo pains three years after excision surgery and have a mirena coil fitted but have been told to try the patch as well to shut my cycle down. I really had having all these hormones put in my body and worried about the side

MRI scan with compatible pacemaker, CRT-D or ICD
I have a CRT-D device implanted which is MRI compatible. It looks like I might now need an MRI scan of my head - most likely under private health care. Does anyone know what extra arrangements, if any, are needed to have an MRI scan with an implanted heart device (one that is compatible with MRI scanners

Employer not being supportive about endometriosis / invasion of privacy
Hi all, I was wondering if anyone has any advice on how to approach having an employer who is not supportive of endometriosis / treatment, and consistently asking for a lot of detailed medical information? I’m 29, diagnosed with endo at 25. I had a surgery almost immediately after being diagnosed

Stabbing pain, periods lasting for over a week, very strong bleeding I never had before (cannot manage to get to toilet fast enough to change a pad, ruined clothes, car seat, embarrassed myself etc But the worst is to come

Mirena coil experiences?
Just had an appointment with the Womens' Health Nurse at our practice who suggested Mirena
IUD
as it is slow release progesterone, may stop my periods all together.

Stopping Cerazette
First time poster, but I’ve taken many tips from this board so thank you all in advance. 2 years ago I doubled over in agony, eventually got sent to A&E via my GP with suspected appendicitis. Wasn’t appendicitis, it was a haemorrhaging ovarian cyst. Sent home with painkillers, had a couple of scans and

After diagnostic laparoscopy
Hi, I had my laparoscopy 5 weeks ago and have been diagnosed with endo (12 years in the making!!). They inserted a coil at the same time as this. Since then my symptoms and pain have become 10x worse. Has anyone had this? Not sure if it is my body getting used to the coil. But I have been in so

Utter despair after failed fertility treatment
Hi everyone, I have been undergoing fertility treatment for over two years now. In this time we had three unsuccessful rounds of IUI. I have pcos so was told I had to have IUI first before the NHS would consider funding IVF. I had IVF last July and was at risk of OHSS so had to freeze all eight embryos

What to expect at my next appointment?
So I had my first appointment with a nurse at my GP surgery yesterday and hallelujah someone's actually listened to me! She has referred me to gynaecology. She's told me they might do a scan but will probably tell me to go on the coil as the only treatment I'll be offered is hormonal because of my age

ICD - DVLA rules says LV EF >35?
Implantable defibrillator ICD and DVLA - the driving regulations says the LV EF must be over 35? Is this right? So if you get a 1 month ban say if the ICD does pacing do you then need to prove an EF above 35? If so how? Will the cardio order an echocardiogram? The cardio sort of brushed off our

Post op advice
I'm 2 weeks post laparoscopy and I'm struggling quite a bit with feeling generally overwhelmed with everything. I initially went in thinking I had endo in 3 main areas, but my operation ended up being 2.5 hours longer than originally estimated and ended up having the following removed: - 4cm cysts -
