Pcos, heavy bleeding

Will the marina coil work

Have you spoken to your doctor regarding this recently? And if so have you had any tests such as ultrasound etc?

[Zimmey in reply to MedStudentP]

Yes spoke to gp have lots of blood tests next week!!!!!

Which I know I'll be anemic, and I'm taking iron as it is.

Also seeing a gynecologist, but I know that's the only option I'll be given, the coil.

I can't find any women with pcos who have had it in for prolong bleeding and where it worked or not

Hi there

Sorry to hear you are suffering, I have had the mirena coil for heavy bleeding, about to have my second coil replacement so that’s over ten years I’ve been using it.

This was the best decision I ever made as was suffering with prolonged bleeding and pain and it settled within a few months of the coil being inserted.

It’s certainly worth a try for you, in my experience we are all slightly different and our bodies react but as someone who couldn’t tolerate contraceptive pills or the implant, I can say that the coil works for me.

Have you tried acupuncture? I used to have really heavy, painful and irregular periods, after having a course of acupuncture treatment I now have normal monthly cycles. Check this blog post out, very informative: zendaysacupuncture.wordpres... x

Thanks

I've not tried acupuncture for periods

But I'll give it try

Hopefully it doesn't cost too much

Thank you so much for messaging
