New diagnosis and bad clinic experience
Hi all. After battling through symptoms for years, being dismissed, being referred to every which specialty, I asked for a gynae referral and had an MRI. The consultant unsympathetically told me I have adhesions, my uterus has moved, and an ovary is squished and attached to my colon. So she's recommended

Mirena coil and urge incontinence - help!
I had a Mirena coil put in 2 years ago due to PCOS and irregular periods. From the last 3 months (Oct 2023), every time I'm on my period I have had a few minor leaks, sometimes its just a drop or two. I literally have to make a quick dash to the loo to make it just in time. This can last up to 2 days

copper coil discharge
I had my copper coil fitted last Friday and have been fortunate with mild pain and light spotting but I have started producing a brown stringy discharge. It almost looks like thick wet mud with grass in it (random description but the best I can compare it to) is this ok or do I need to see a doctor?

Endometriosis, HRT and Mirena coil.

Septate Uterus experiences
Has anybody on here had a hysteroscopy to sort out a septate uterus? Should be getting mine sorted with the wonderful team at Tommy's in London (they think I have a slight one that could be causing my issues), but she said something about putting coils in to help with the healing process for like 3 months

Endometriosis treatment NOT contraceptive pill or coil
I'm waiting to see a gynae. This one took me seriously when I tearfully told her my symptoms. The debilitating pain I endure during ovulation and my period is worse than childbirth (I've had a baby). The bleeding is so severe that I flood a night time pad every half an hour. GPs have always been very

Adenomyosis or Endo back??
Hi everyone, I had a laparoscopy in 2018 and had mild endometriosis tissue removed from my pelvis, and two cysts removed (one being an endometrioma). I have started having pain again the last couple of years and have been back to the doctors a few times as I felt I had an ovarian cyst again. However
