When is surgery necessary?
For the last few years I've had very heavy periods - annoying, but manageable. For the last 12 months I've had really bad bloating in my stomach on and off - annoying, but manageable. For most of last year I had an on/off dull ache near my left ovary - annoying but manageable. Since November the dull

Good morning uncomfortable feeling after crt-d implanted 5 weeks ago
Sorry guys and gals I'm back with another yes another daily worry, so after my crt-d was implanted I noticed maybe a couple of weeks ago that under my left arm pit and sort of on the edge of armpit and left pec it feels uncomfortable, has anyone else had anything like the same? I wasn't sure if it's

Mirena or endo pain?
Hi all, I had my laparoscopy in December 2020 to remove endo. During the op I had the mirena coil inserted. Now 14 months later, I’m still having pain most days. I finally have a gyno appt coming up in a few weeks and I think they’re going to suggest having my coil taken out, which feels like a really

I'm new here
Hi everyone, I'm so glad I came across this page as I feel reassured and more educated already. I went on the pill at 15, to stop my extremely heavy and painful periods and since then everything was fine - periods were regular, a normal amount of pain etc. A year ago, at 22, I decided I no longer wanted

Crt-d lead
I'm going into my 5th week post crt-d lead implant would the lead have settled in now, as I am still very anxious about movements and stuff as the uncomfortable feeling from the incision has started to ease I've found myself doing more stuff not over doing it but doing more stuff than I've been able

OCD and hormones
To prevent symptoms and pain of this disorder my doctors thought it was best to have the hormonal
IUD
birth control. And I haven’t had hormones in my body for some time. Im absolutely terrified that now that I have this birth control my OCD is going to get worse and worse.

Contraceptive Coil
Hi, I have stage 4 endometriosis and It has been suggested that I have the coil fitted. I have heard nothing but bad things about having a coil. I was wondering if anyone else has any opinions on if a coil is bad or ok?

Endo pain from weight lifting
During my laparoscopy, they inserted the mirena
iud
. My pain and bleeding has started to increase again and in particular, when I’m doing intense exercise (weight lifting, netball) it makes it significantly worse.

IUD
Merina coil insertion. Bleeding wise up to now Ive only blead for 6 days. Just seem to have a lot of back pain and stomach cramps doing a physical job and having the back pain isnt the best.

2nd op/Prostap/Provera - which to choose ..?
Hello everyone, I am hoping for a bit of help/advice on behalf of my 19-year old daughter, who, after having a laperascopy a year ago to drain her ovarian cysts, has been told they are filling up again. She has been given the option of progesterone treatment (provera), Prostap for 1 year, or surgery

Mirena IUD
One for the ladies…….. Hi all, I’m after a little advice. I hope someone can help. I have RA and fibromyalgia and take hydrox, methotrexate & amitriptyline. Like many of you my condition causes my blood ‘stores’ to get low. (I’m told this isn’t the same as anaemia but it does make me feel pretty

Could this be bowel endo?
Hi all I had a laparoscopy in October and I told them beforehand that I felt like I had bowel endo, as I often bled from my back passage during my period as well as diarrhoea. They informed me that they would check the surface but wouldn’t check inside. So I had the surgery and they found endo but she

My thyroid levels are stable and have been for a while now, however at the beginning of my cycle when my protestors drops and oestrogen increases, I feel awful and it takes a couple of weeks to level out again. I had been using bioidential

Contraceptive whilst on Decapeptyl - do I really need one?
Has anyone else been in this situation and what were you advised about contraception? I’ve been on Decapeptyl injections for 8 years and these have successfully managed by endometriosis. I have no pain or other symptoms whatsoever now. I get bone scans every 3 years to check my bone density and I’ve
