I Have The Most Severe Pain At Night To The Point I Can't Sleep And Nothing Helps. Is This Common?
I was recently taken off the depo shot 6 months ago and put on a birth control that you take blue pills 3 months straight and the sugar pills for one week at the end of the cycle. Not sure if I should go back to the doctor and discuss different treatment or not because last time I went, my doctor told me surgery would be the other option. I am trying not to go that route, but the pain gets almost unbearable.
I too have been having this. Pelvic pain is worse at night when I’ve been laying down for hours as well as aches in my arms and legs! Wakes me up from sleep and keeps me up for a few hours. It’s the… read more
Merina And Cysts?
Has anyone else had cysts since having the merina? I haven’t had any before but since having the merina have had to have one removed that was grapefruit sized- I’ve read on another page about the 2 being linked.....thoughts?
Has Anyone Had Luck With An Implant Like The Mirena ?
My doctor at school suggested that one but my doctor back home said it's only good for people who've have children. Anyone have experience with the mirena?
If you dont have kids don't do it. My doctor gave it to me at 16 and I've been having pain since. It's moved up and was lost. I even won the lawsuit against mirena
Surgery And IUD
I am having surgery to remove the scar tissue and while I am asleep, they want to put an IUD in as well. I am super nervous about the IUD and want to know if there are side effects, and if the IUD is a good route to go.
Lupron Depot
Hey, have any of you been on the Lupron Depot injections? Curious to know how it went. Had a Hysterectomy about 3 weeks ago. I was told that endo was everywhere and it had all been removed only a few months prior, because of that the doctor's that did the surgery are really pushing medications to try to slow it from coming back. Any input would be greatly appreciated!
When Does Bleeding After Mirena Insertion Stop?
I had my 1st laparoscopy and Mirena coil insertion 3 weeks ago, but bleeding (not spotting) has continued and I'm wondering when it stops?? Im also taking microgynon for the past two months. Also the morning pain flare ups are quite the nuisance. not sure if all this is normal or part of the normal recovery?
I'm sorry you're going through this - I completely relate! I had the surgery and UID insertion about a month ago and haven't stopped bleeding since. Sometimes lighter and sometimes heavy clots… read more
Has Anyone Tried Mirena And Not Felt Any Relief? It's Been A Few Months And I Don't Think It's Working For Me.
Has anyone tried Mirena and not felt any relief? It's been a few months and I feel very little, if any, relief and my loss of appetite and nausea is spiraling out on top of the pain! I recently had a baby (in January) so not sure if it's all dramatically worse from that or if the Mirena is really just not working for me?
I couldn't work with the marina they put it in during my lap last year I still have it but apparently in the pill as well as I was having irregular bleeds and the pain was so bad some people love it… read more
Treatment Options
Hi
I am going in for my post-op appointment in a few days, and I know my doctor wants to change my treatment. I have endo all over my uterus, colon, and rectum, and they were not able to remove any during my last surgery. I’ve been on several oral contraceptives, but all have made me feel even worse than I do with nothing. The last one made me gain 30 pounds and bleed nonstop the entire time I was taking it. I have read that IUDs can be an option, but I don’t have any experience with that. I… read more
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it!
Has Anyone Found Relief From Having Their Mirena Coil Removed?
I am due to have my Mirena Coil removed on the next Monday coming, and was wondering if anyone had found they had symptom relief from having it removed? Or did it make things worse? My thought is that if I have it removed and I become hormone free will it stop my pains getting worse etc...
I got horrible cysts from the merena and I felt so much better about 2 menstral cycles after I had it removed! (Still endo pain, but the cyst pain gone)
Is It Okay To Take Visanne While You Have The Mirena IUD?
Hi Ladies. PLEASE HELP! I recently moved to South Korea (from America) and went to a specialist for the first time today. He recommended I start taking Visanne. I really didn't want to take any new meds, as I already have tried Lupron, Femara (usually used for breast cancer), just norethindrone, and some other bc pills.I already had 2 excision surgeries. I also currently have the Mirena IUD. I don't want to try a new treatment but he kept telling me how great and wonderful Visanne is. I am so… read more
