Mirena Coil
Hey Ladies, I was wondering if you got the mirena coil fitted, how long does the cramping last? I have endo and polycystic ovaries and got the coil fitted on Monday and the cramps feels like day 1 of my period. I get cramps during the day and at night. I’ve been taking co cocodamol and ibuprofen tablets

Double Period? On Copper IUD
on Copper
IUD
I understand that the copper coil makes your period heavier and longer, especially when just inserted. But I'm wondering if it can cause a double period. When I had the coil inserted, I had very bad cramps for 2 days, then my period started.

Missed period copper coil
Hi I'm new here 👋 I had the copper coil fitted about 2 months ago, since then I had one normal period then when my 2nd period was due all I've had is a slight brown discharge when I wipe for about 10 days now with no red blood. Is this normal when the coil is getting settled? I use to get breast tenderness

Our 2nd failed transfer. 💔 When to give up?
Hi Everyone. This rollercoaster of a journey is tough. Am 39 years old. We’ve done 4 months back to back Stims. Our progress to date: 1st - cancelled due to early ovulation. 2nd - few embryos and a failed IUI. 3rd - 1 perfect fresh embryo at blaso that failed after transfer. 4th - 1 perfect & 1 average

Alternative to the coil?
Today I finally had a consultation with a gynaecologist about possible endo (which he confirmed was probably what’s happening). He said my only option is the coil, which isn’t something I’m very comfortable getting done. Are there other options to the coil? Thanks so much!

RLS flare from IUD?
I’m wondering if it is related to the removal of my
IUD
(Mirena)? I had to get it removed because it caused unending pain for five months. But now that it’s gone, I’m having this intense flare up and I don’t know what to do. Help

Need advice/support
Hi there, I'm 27 and currently unable to work due to pain/flare ups I've been having. Last year my flare ups began getting worse so I began to go in and out of hospital. They noticed I was having cysts on my ovaries. (May 20) Eventually I was seen by gynecology at my local hosp and after examinations

Just Need Some Help
I am just having a horrendous time and don't know what to do. I have been bleeding every single day since January 2019. I had the copper coil fitted for 7 months and couldn't handle it anymore so had it removed. In that time, I was hospitalised twice due to the pain. The bleeding has never stopped

Surgery in a week
Hello, I'm having my first laparoscopy next Tuesday, and I'm so anxious. My gynaecologist is 99% sure that it's endo, but I'm scared they won't find anything. I get bad cramping all the time, particularly during ovulation and periods, stabby pains in my abdomen on the right side, problems with my bladder

Is there a limit or risk to having multiple consecutive IUDs?
My second consecutive
IUD
is due to expire in August and I’m so confused about what to do next. I love having an
IUD
and it’s definitely the perfect contraceptive option for me. However I am unable to find much online about having IUDs consecutively. Does my body need to have a break?

Bladder issues
I have confirmed adenomyosis and suspected endometriosis, I'm at a loss at the moment. I keep having pain when I pee and I am not sure what I can do. Been to the doctors who offer me the coil, mini pill or a dipstick test to see if it's a uti (never is) or I just have to wait around 6 months for a gynecology

Prolonged spotting
Hey guys, I had my first lap to remove endo and an ovarian cyst just under 6 months ago, at the same time I at a mirena coil fitted to reduce pain and symptoms.

What to do?
May have triggers Evening all, long time lurker, first time poster. I am having a really down day today and don’t know how to pull myself out of it. I have recently been diagnosed with possible endometriosis and am awaiting a laparoscopy. 3yrs ago I came off the combined pill because it made me suicidal

IUD removal
I’ve just had my
IUD
removed today as my recent smear had identified that it was no longer in place - thank god for my smear! After having an ultrasound to locate it, the nurse was able to remove it today.
