Am I giving a wrong self diagnosis or is this a genuine cause for concern?
Hi, I’ve always had really heavy, irregular and long periods that causes pain to the point where I am nearly passing out, but recently this has worsened. I have had an IUD put in which I know can cause heavier, longer and more painful periods, however I had this inserted a year and a half ago and I am

Backpacking after ICD Fitted
After rehab etc, I would like to resume multi day hikes (Caminos) and wondered if anyone has any experience of wearing a backpack after having an
ICD
fitted. I'm thinking predominantly about location of shoulder strap being close to site of
ICD
. Any input gratefully received Frank

Coil Query
Hiya. I currently have the Nexplanon implant and I’ve had it in for about a year now and it isn’t really working for me. I’m looking into getting either one of the coils I just want to get some advice and see if it’s worked well for some other people. My periods are really regular and quite heavy

Copper coil fitted for 3 years now. Never any problems until now.
My period as never been more than 2 days late in the last 3 years. But I'm now 10 days late and no sign of it coming. Has this happened to anyone before??

I’m having 2 periods a month (1 period approximately every 20 days) and bleeding for 10+ days each time
It’s as it says above. This has been happening since I was 16 and came off the implant. It stopped briefly when I went on the combined pill, but is happening again now I’m on a copper IUD

Can you take pill and have coil at the same time? How long for each to work? Getting so desperate for something to help me
Having a bit of a nightmare at the moment and struggling to cope. I had the coil fitted and it was great at first but then started experience a lot of cramping. Went to the gp and they removed it Had it taken out and started the pill but not doing much for my pain symptoms. Really stuck as to keep on

Cardiac MRI
Hello my fellow BHF friends I’ve just had a call from Guys and St Thomas hospital telling me I need to have a cardiac MRI scan tomorrow. I’ve read the notes attached to the email they’ve just sent.......😳 to say I am nervous is an understatement! 1 hour and 30 minutes in the scanner, cannula fitted

Coil and Endo
Hi everyone! I have been on the Mini Pill (progesterone only pill) for years. Roughly 4 years. I have also tried up to 11 pills, an implant and the Depo shots! I have been diagnosed with Endo for almost 8 years. Recently, the pill hasn’t been doing me any favours with constant pain and constant bleeding

Why Can’t I be NORMAL?
This OCD is my own personal monster. I know I’m not “normal”, but I try very hard everyday to accept myself abnormal and all. The obsessive thoughts have taken so much control over me that I don’t know how to decipher what’s real and what’s in my head. I promise I do very well at appearing to be as normal

Thumping left rib area.
Four year ago I had a heart attack and two stents fitted then six month later an
ICD
. Generally I’m fit and healthy and spend an hour on an elliptical trainer every morning. Any idea what could be causing this. Thanks

Endo and the Mirena coil
Has anyone been diagnosed with endometriosis whilst having the mirena coil I have had my coil in for almost three years now and am now waiting for a diagnostic laparoscopy. Isn’t the coil supposed to help endometriosis?

Is this too many drugs?! Prostap, Tibilone, Norethisterone, Tranexamic Acid, Mirena Coil
I'm so worried. I had a mirena coil fit in March, to help stop heavy periods. I have bled every single day since. The GP wouldn't remove it, as I hadn't given it enough time. Instead I ended up taking 9 Norethisterone a day (usually you take 3). Then I ended up in hospital because I couldn't handle the
