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.

unsuccessful Laparoscopy
Hello, this is my first time posting so please bear with me! I have been struggling with symptoms of endometriosis since I could remember. I started my period at around 9 and I would say from 13+ my periods had been extremely painful, heavy, putting pressure on my bowels, mood swings etc (the list really

periods on mirena but no pain
I’ve had 2 laps for endo, have tri cycled the pill and been on tablets such as naproxen. Ive been so luckily that having the coil fitted during my 2nd lap has majorly improved pain and quality of life. I’ve had it for a year and bit and I’m on my 5th period. My dilemma is it’s pain free but how much

What contraception with endo
Hello, A couple of years ago I had a laparoscopy which confirmed my endometriosis diagnosis. At the time I’d had my mirena coil for about 3 years. The coil has worked wonders in reducing some of the symptoms from my endo and the surgeon told me that they’d recommend me keeping the coil in order

coil advice
hi there I have hormonal migraines, which are worsening as I go through peri menopause. I am hoping that the mirena coil could help by possibly reducing or stopping my periods (when my headaches are at their worst) One attempt to insert the coil at my GP surgery was traumatic and unsuccessful. I hoped

Mirena and Exercise
Hi all - has anyone experienced bleeding after exercise with the Mirena? I had mines fitted in November after surgery so it might still be settling but I have noticed a pattern that I bleed after I’ve been horse riding - every time now (I have lessons once a week). And with this bleed I do have some

Hello all, it’s me again… I’m wondering if anyone can help/provide advice with the contraceptive treatment I’m currently having issue with. Previously I was taking desogestrel back to back no break to stop ovulation. To say this didn’t agree with me would be an understatement, I bled every day and

Mirena Coil Fatigue
Hi all, just looking for some advice or if you have had similar experience. I got diagnosed with acute stage 5 endometriosis in January, and the gynocologist fitted me with the mirena coil. I was told if this did t work I’d have to start HRT for 6-12 months, as you can imagine this was a lot to take

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.

misunderstood peri -menopause treatment
I had a very traumatic experience in my peri menopause. Due to heavy bleeding and clotting in my last 2 years of peri menopause I was hospitalized with an anemia. Given tablets to help stem bleeding and they caused jaundice. Was offered hysteroscopy under NHS however not given the option for sedation
