Menstrual Cycle :: In Agony Every Month Due To Copper Coil
I got my copper coil fitted in January. Wasn't pleasant did get a bit ill but after I was fine and of course had heavy long periods and sore cramps for a few months. The bleed has eased a bit but the pain seems to be getting more intense. I have never had any children or been pregnant the only way I can describe it is like well labour pains. Only lasts a few seconds at a time and I find myself screaming in pain and panting as its unbelievably painful I think the girls in work think I'm at it as they see the pain I can get in. Comes and goes in waves this has been happening for a few months now it feels like a period cramp but 100 times worse and something stabbing me with a 1000 knifes in my uterus DX bit extreme I know haha. I was warned cramps can get worse but never knew they would be THIS bad and I thought they would calm down after a few months but only got worse. The only good thing is I haven't got pregnant and I don't think my other half wants to go back to using protection after this long having the coil.
View 2 RepliesHyperthyroidism :: Shortened Menstrual Cycle With Prolonged Menstrual Bleeding
I need to adjust my thyroid supplement therapy. I won't be able to see any of my doctors (GP, gynecologist, endocrinologist) for at least a month. Waiting list is that long.
I have PCOS and Hashimoto's (treated with T4 and T3). My periods have been regular (between 28 and 35 days) since I was 12. However, this month I had my period barely three weeks after the last one. It usually lasts for about 5 days, however today's my 7th day and it doesn't look as if it's going to stop. I've seen my gynecologist twice this august, and all the results were fine.
It's certainly due to overmedication. My endo increased the dosage of my medication 4 months ago. Since then, I tested my TSH and got bad result - 0,1.
She has decreased my dose since, but the result remains the same - 0,1. I'm aware that I need professional help, but I must do something. I can't continue my therapy like this. Any advice on how to decrease the dosage from 50 mg levothyroxine (T3) and 50 mg euthyral (T4 and T3) would save me.
Contraception :: Mirena Or Copper Coil?
I'm going to have a coil inserted, but I'm not sure which to have, I leaning more towards the hormonal/Mirena/IUS coil but can I have that inserted if I'm not on my period?
Also with the copper coil, I've heard that the periods can get heavier, how long do they last for? Does it slowly get better at all?
And any tips before I go to the doctors on what I should prepare myself for? What the entire procedure is like? I know all these websites have talked through it but from people's own point of view, what's the experience like?

Depression With The Menopause And Mirena Coil
I've suffered with depression on and off for years but this past year has been like a rollercoaster. I'm 53 and peri menopausal. I'm on antidepressants anyway and also have gels to rub in from the gynecologist. Had the mirena coil fitted but it made me feel worse so had it taken out.

I've a 4cms simple ovarian cyst, went to hospital yesterday and doctor has booked me in for a D&C to take place in August. She was also pushing for me to get the Mirena coil. I guess what I'm really wondering is whether periods reduce in intensity after a D&C without me having to get the Mirena coil fitted.
View 2 RepliesContraception :: Cooper Coil Replace With Mirena (IUD)
Long story short I had really bad periods with the copper coil so I had it replaced with the mirena coil in December. However although my periods are now not as heavy or painful, they are still painful and last about 10 days.
My main problem with the mirena is that every month before my period I seem to get the most awful burning/painful sensation all around my vulva, especially after sex. It is so painful and I have been going through thrush treatments and bacterial vaginosis treatments every month. After my period the problem seems to lessen. But is still there. I have been tested for thrush and UTI but do not have it. Nothing helps. And doctors say there can be no connection between this and the mirena.
Also during sex, and this might be gross, sometimes I gush liquid out and although my partner likes it I definitely don't?
just wondered if anyone else has had the same issues? I don't know what to do my only option is to go back to the copper coil
Menopause :: Mirena Coil - Mood Swings
i'm 45 and just had the hormone mirena coil fitted a few days ago due to having heavy and twice monthly periods for over a year painful as well. the reason i chose the coil is that i wanted to try anything other than medication-tablets which i am on a few too many,and for heavy bleeding too. side effects i was having with my periods are (Irritation at anything, sex between me and my partner were NON Existent-still feeling like this, argumentative, but since having the coil fitted i have feel CALM, me and my partner are trying to get back on track with everything but communication failed and i felt annoyed-irritated but calmer which i haven't felt in a long time... I would like to know if weight is an issue with the coil please let me if this part of hormone coil and if there's any relaxation techniques to help with my mood swings etc.

View 1 RepliesContraception :: Mirena Coil - Heavy And Painful Periods
I went to see my doctor today about heavy and painful periods, and I had asked her is there anything apart from the contraceptive pill that she could give me for it. She said she recommended the Mirena Coil, I said that my sister in law has said that she got it put in and she bled for 3 months solid. I told her I'd have a think about it, and she told me to look up this website, and read all these comments and decide for myself. After reading everyone's comments, I can safely say, that I am not now or ever intending to get the Mirena Coil inserted because am wanting to reduce my flow and every1 has said that it has just made it worse.
View 1 RepliesMirena Coil - Suddenly Having Crazy Hormones And Bleeding
I've had the mirena coil for just under 2 years. After the initial bleeding my periods more or less stopped I just had the odd light period every few months or so. However, the last 2 month my hormones have been all over the show. Some things are TMI to say on here but I had a light period for about 3 days and then 2 weeks later I came on again and it's now day 9 or 10 of bleeding, it is only light but my boobs have been sore for weeks and there's no signs of it stopping. My coil is still in place so no worries about it being dislodged. I was just wondering if anyone else had been fine with the mirena and then suddenly having crazy hormones and bleeding etc.

I have had high blood pressure since 2009. My medication will control it until around my menstrual cycle. I will have horrible headaches that turn into migraines and my blood pressure will jump to 180/110 and stay there for a few days. My doctor stated that it is stress related, but my question is: if it is stress related, why do I just have these horrific headaches and my blood pressure skyrocket just around my menstrual? I can't find the answer. I have researched it and have ask my physician, but no new light has been shed. Does anyone have any information?
