Just confused
I have spent 8 months or so trying to figure out what on Earth is going on with my periods. I’ve had three scans and a couple of consultations. Friends of mine tell me they just take two paracetamol and sometimes use a hot water bottle and they’re ok. Where I generally can’t walk, take extremely hot

Liletta coil
Hello, I have just had the coil fitted yesterday as my gp recommended due to irregular heavy painful periods. The procedure was terrible I've never experienced any thing in my life like that. I was advised to check for strings which I did today but I couldn't locate them. Not sure what to look or feel

Hospital in London?
Would anyone be able to please recommend a hospital in London where they actually respond and have time to treat you? I've been with King's hospital and having a horrendous experience.

I had a laparoscopy around eight weeks ago. The surgeons removed stage 4 endo from various organs including the bowel and got rid of some large ovarian cysts as well. They said after the surgery that they ‘got it all’. They’ve recommended I have a coil or go on the pill after surgery to stop the endo
