I don't understand why my bleeding cannot be controlled. I have had two surgeries and have tried basically every birth control pill out there, and the shot, and the shot and pill at the same time. I'm 28 and for the past 8 years I have bled more days out of each month than not 15 - 20 days + every month. I have bled everyday now since march 15. I have been to 8 different gynecologists over the past 8 years and have had - dnc in 2011 and laparoscopic surgery in 2013 where they diagnosed endo. But… read more
There are horror stories...But so many success stories too! I hope you find what's right for you.
I'm not sure of your cause, but I too had this issue. Heavy bleeding loaded with clots for almost 6 months straight. Very few days I didn't bleed. My gyno at the time didn't believe me until I went in once a week for about a month and a half for exams. He suggested ablation and the removal of my tubes. I was NOT ready for that. I chose to have a d&c followed by the mirena after I was healed up. It's not right for everyone, but it has changed my life. My new gyno has said that some of my Endo symptoms are reversing! I chose the mirena for the low hormone release rather than just a copper IUD. I still have issues...Pain... Bleeding off and on. It's nothing like it was. Again, this has changed my life after years of misery. Physicians typically prefer to not place a mirena if you haven't had children, but it can be done. It's a painful process....But I'm happy I did it! Best of luck to you! I hope you find relief 💜
Thank you!!! I want kids one day but I have to stop bleeding all of the time - the only bc I haven't tried is the mirena or any iud, it always kind of freaked me out. I will take that into consideration now. Thank you again!
