Endo/Adeno Rant .... Exhausted!! Microgynon 30?
I've avoided the "recommended treatment" of Decapeptyl injections (put you through early menopause), the
IUD
, the pill and of course the glamourous hysterectomy for as long as i could and now I’m using the Pill.

Will IUD removal potentially start a period early?
Hello, I'm at the end of my tether and so I'm getting my
IUD
out. I think it's the root of all my issues as tests keep coming back negative. I've had it for over a year and its not stopped my cycle. I still go through all the crap just with a pathetically light flow.

Has anyone not been diagnosed after first laparoscopy but diagnosed later?
I had the mirena
IUD
put in during my surgery, and then had another mini flare up about a month after surgery, but it was a much shorter flare up than usual. I went from the end of September to now without any pain at all, and around a week ago the most debilitating pain has started again.

Don't want to go back on the pill/more surgeries! Deep infiltrating endo on bowel and uterine polyp removed recently for heavy bleeding.
Every single GP, gynaecologist i have met have pushed for the bcp/
IUD
and surgeries, which i am doing my hardest to push back as they are not effective methods and i have already gone down that path for so long without success.

IUD and awful anxiety
I got a progesterone
IUD
inserted about 5 weeks ago due to having pre cancerous cells in my uterus (my mom died from uterine cancer). Now I’m a few days from getting my period and my anxiety is absolutely crippling and awful.

Adenomyosis, endometriosis and copper coil or IUD
Hi everyone, Just wanted to ask if anyone knows if you can have an copper coil inserted with a history of adenomyosis and endometriosis? I've read it can make both worse. I'm frightened as I had sex on Saturday but the condom fully broke!. I'm taking Norethisterone 5mg twice daily for the last 10 days

Weight gain with Femara/Letrozole
My chin has also decided to break out in spots - not something I have dealt with since using an
IUD
. When I google, there are side effects related to weight gain for those using Femara for cancer treatment but no mention of those using it for fertility. Anyone else?

why isn’t testing for all STD’s important before IUD insertion
maybe I'm just ranting but this has been eating at me since I found out , I guess the main question is, can they actually do the
iud
insertion without testing for ALL STDs, if so why?

Copper IUD and Endometriosis link
Hi, I’m curious to find out if having the copper coil (non hormonal one - not Mirena) may have triggered my endometriosis. Especially where mine was (uteral ligaments - behind the womb). Just wondered if anyone else has had a Copper coil and since suffered with Endo?

Mirena trial or straight to laparoscopy?
Hi! So I finally got to see a gynaecologist and she’s said it’s very likely that the ‘free fluid’ in my pelvis is blood from endometriosis but obviously without a laparoscopy she can’t officially diagnose. I was a bit hesitant about having a surgery, so she’s said I should trial the mini pill /

Try Mirena again or hysterectomy
