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

How to say I’ve got an ICD in my chest in different languages.
I’ll flash my card from the hospital but I was curious what other countries do for ICDs? I’m going over to Malaga for a few days so in Spanish I need to say (airport scanners etc); Tengo un DCI en mi pecho Which other countries have you had to explain your situation? What did you say?

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?

Onto IVF... What did you wish you knew/did before starting?
Hi all, Had a negative HPT this morning following our second IUI (I expected it but still 💔). Our clinic wants to move us onto IVF next. It feels mad, I'm 30 and in theory 'only' have PCOS - when we started treatment in January 2021 we were told we'd only need a little bit of help (Clomid) and now

Permanent afib and ablation
Hello my husband has been in permanent afib for 5 years. He has had 2 cardioversions and one ablation. Never put him in normal sinus for even a minute. He recently had prostate surgery and because of hospitalizations he was without his digoxin for 2 doses. He has an ICD that is intended to shock

CRT-D or ICD
My husband had a pacemaker fitted on Wednesday this week. Came home last night with discharge papers on which it says a CRT-D was fitted yet on his GP records I see it says ICD was fitted. I’m rather concerned these statements are conflicting. Any ideas anyone please?

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

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

I’m really struggling with perimenopausal hormone fluctuations. 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?

Private laparoscopy
Hey there. I’m a 32 year old female, I had horrendous hyperemesis gravidarium while pregnant and since then my health hasn’t been the same. I’ve developed suspected endometriosis, which became terrible last year and I have a c section niche. Since having my covid booster I’m having a period every 12
