medically induced menopause
I’m only 26 and have the coil, the surgeon has said he wants me to be put into early menopause to treat my deep pelvic endometriosis. But no other treatment has been tried, has anyone ever experienced this treatment and if so what did it do?

To hell and back...
I was diagnosed with endometriosis and fibroid in my late 40s. Pain was horrendous and bleeding would make its way through my clothing. The merena coil was attempted but wouldn't stay in because of my inverted womb. Fast forward a year later I started prostap which helped hugely but is only recommended

return to running?
After numerous scans and all the usual tests, I’m of the opinion that my copper
IUD
coil caused the disorder, it was not probably not fit for use beyond 5 years (i was told it was good for 10 years).

Blood test results
Hello, I've been a few different symptoms (tiredness, heavy and irregular periods, hair falling out) and my GP organised for a full blood test, which I've now had back. My iron levels, B12 etc were all fine. But I was wondering about the Thyroid levels, in particular the T4; is it too low although

Small follicles on scan
Hi all lovely ladies, I need advice. I went in for a scan on cd10 and they found 3 small follicles. Lining was at 6.9mm. Uterus and everything else look good. I'm just worried about small follicles sizing from 4.6mm,2.4mm and 2.6mm.What can I do to increase the size? I'm taking oestrogen and progesterone

Travel Insurance
Hi I had an ICD fitted in November.. you might see quite a few questions from me. May I thank people in advance that have taken time out to answer. We have an annual travel insurance policy that isn’t due to expire before our next holiday. Obviously I will need to notify them I’ve had the device

What brand of copper coil from 2014
I had a copper coil fitted back in 2014 which should be effective for ten years, but my GP said that it should be replaced as I don't remember the brand that was fitted; because there are some that last less than ten years. It's been almost impossible to find out because the coil was fitted in an abortion

Diagnosis dead end and worsening cyclical pain
Gynaecology believe that there’s nothing more they can do, maybe just see if an
IUD
helps. But told me that ¼ of chronic pelvic pain has no explanation. Otherwise, my next steps are a referral to gastro, potentially with a proposed colonoscopy, and/or a chronic pain specialist.
