Miena coil

Is this going to damage my fertility I had a large bleed large had to be transfused. H.b 6.4 dl, 2 units now 7.8 d/ L

Honestly that depends on the reason behind the bleed and you need to have a chat with your gynaecologist/GP to find the reason and any risk.Some people do bleed heavily after a coil is inserted with no longterm effects but there is a tiny risk of damage when you have this done so if you have any concerns then you need to speak to your doctor.

A mirena coil won’t damage your fertility but I thought you were doing IVF? In which case you cannot have a coil

[Bluelady-sing in reply to Hidden]

No not in a financial position to start, ivf my blood count was so low. I had to have a transfusion, so gynae is pushing for this coil

[Hidden in reply to Bluelady-sing]

The coil is a contraceptive, it can be used to stop periods or make them lighter. I also had one to try and stop my fibroids growing. Perhaps you have fibroids and need them treated?

[Bluelady-sing in reply to Hidden]

Yes have fibroids

[Bluelady-sing in reply to Hidden]

Were cancer investigations possible during lockdown

[Hidden in reply to Bluelady-sing]

Don’t worry about that now, worry about getting the investigations you need now to get this fixed whatever it is

[Bluelady-sing in reply to Hidden]

I have one booked in two weeks

[Bluelady-sing in reply to Hidden]

Yes hb gone up to 8.3dL

[Bluelady-sing in reply to Hidden]

They won't do the fibroids same time as biopsy

[Hidden in reply to Bluelady-sing]

The fibroids is a big op they would so that separately and you will need a long recovery

I am due to have a biopsy for endometrial cancer as I had a heavy bleed, they want to put in coil then I am worried about this coil
