Experiences with

Intrauterine device (IUD)

Has anyone ever had copper coil fitted with a womb prolapse...I did and was told by my doctor that it was as effective as it would be with no prolapse but now I have a late period and thinking my doctor was maybe wrong

Hi there i have an app with my consultant in Sunday and i need soem advice on questions to ask. So i had a laproscopy in Sept 2020 and had Endometriomas remived from both ovaries. This is all i know. Whilst in hospital they also mentioned something about my tubes and pelvis but i was still out of it

Had my lap yesterday which found NO endometriosis but confirmed my adenomyosis as my uterus was thick. Surgeon said for women my age (24) the extent of my andeomyosis is more seen in middle aged women. Gave me a coil to help with the adeno. However they also found scar tissue lesions on my bowel hence

I'm a type 1 diabetes, when I first get married I thought that managing my diabetes will be my only problem. Now two years and half after, 2 failed iui, one failed fresh transfer , and too many type diabetes 1 fellows pregnancy announcements. My diabetes is well managed , but my fertility problems

Hi everyone, I’m looking for some advice. I was diagnosed with rectovaginal endometriosis stage 3 in early April. At the same time as the laparoscopy, I had the Mirena coil fitted. It has taken a while to settle down and I’ve had random bleeding between periods etc. Actual periods have been lighter though

Hi I’m getting my Mirena coil replaced today as it’s been over 5 years since my first one. It’s been like night and day for me on the coil, no periods, minimal pain, even found it easier to keep weight off. My question is, has anyone found after getting their coil replaced it didn’t work as effectively

Hi I need bit advice about three days ago had a ecg everything was fine apart from cardio advising to have a icd for future precaution but said wasn't high risk at the moment I'm wondering today got slight chest pain abovevleft breast come go sometime with movement I don't know if its trapped wind or

Hi I am looking for supportive advice as I know this is possibly a controversial subject! I have had my icd for around 2.5 years now (I have inherited hypertrophic cardiomyopathy!) and really don’t get on with the ICD. I feel it is unnecessary as it has never administered any therapeutic shocks or picked

But that picture below is an IUD that was considered safe.

Hi there I’m new to this forum but been with HU many years on the running forum. I’m 4 years into menopause and I am struggling so much right now and wondered if anyone could offer some help or questions for me to ask in my upcoming appointment on Tuesday, I’ve been trying to cope on my own but I think

So had a mirina coil fitted and after 3 month iv come on again, the doctors looks they can't see the coil up there, anyone else had this happen, going for a scan Thursday to see if they can see it ,

I must firstly say a big thank you to all that have replied to my last posts. My meeting with the consultants was unimpressive as they were basically trying to cover their arses. The gastroenterologist didn't really remember my wife's history of numerous bleeds, blamed the on duty surgeon for not doing

We are so close to our IUI cycle, I’m due on in 13 days and it feels like it’s taking forever. I know this wait isn’t as bad as the 2ww but I’m just so ready to get started now. It also seems like everyone is announcing a new pregnancy, what gender they are having or birth announcements at the minute

Hey everyone, I'm having laparoscopy tomorrow to remove an endometrioma cyst on my ovary, having diagnostic/treatment for adenomyosis/endometriosis and having my low lying coil removed and replaced. This is my first surgery for anything, I've not been worrying too much until now, I feel like crying.

I have never really had early periods but since having this coil they’ve been quite unpredictable and my last one was a 23 day cycle. I’m worried about infertility , or is this normal when you have the copper coil?

Due to covid and an unsuccessful attempt at removal I still have my expired coil Just concerned that it may not be safe to have it inside me for too long

Hi Has anyone here had to have the ICD refitted? DH says he is in constant pain from the implant site and it is stopping him from taking walksoutside the house since he gsts random shooting pains - not at every step, but bad enough to make him want to avoid it. Sitting, standing, lying down, moving

With the copper coil does anyone experience severe bloating. I had mine fitted on the 27th may and ever since I’ve had on and off spotting/bleeding/brown discharge. Also pain on and off and bloating. Can anyone relate?

I had the Mirena coil fitted just two days ago and I am still in absolute agony. I’ve had to phone in sick at work today. Has anyone else had this and if so when did the pain ease off? I have read that you shouldn’t have any pain effecting your daily activities. I really can’t cope with it anymore and

Anyone had experiences on the IUD/IUS mirena or jaydess coil contraception? I want to get it but very worried about the insertion procedure and overall side effects. Was getting it fitted painful? Did you experience any side effects on the coil? Any info would be a great help thanks!
