If you have or have had an IUD what were the pros and cons for you ? Did it help endo symptoms ? How about fibroids ? Or adenomyosis symptoms ?
Thank you !

I tried 3 IUDs and my body rejected all 3; then tried Norethrindrone and I hated it . My weight changed for the worse and it effected my mood. So I stopped . My doc told me about a newer pill called Slynd . Wondering if anyone else has had experience with this ?

Hi I hope someone can help I've been to my GP he did blood test and my estrogen levels are low I'm 47 it's causing a lot of problems down below he has prescribed 10mg of vagifem weekly to help I was a bit concerned because I said to him I taught that estrogen feeds endometriosis he said it was fine because it is a low dose and I'm not taking it by mouth so it's just helping the problem below has anyone tried this before as I'm getting really depressed cause I've tried all of the creams and… read more

I have horrific autoimmune issues with my thyroid, endometriosis, and likely adenomyosis. I already have daily cramps, abnirmal bleeding, and a fever 4 days out of the week. Plus, 90% of my hair has fallen out. I'm in the ER almost monthly with awful pelvic and abdominal pain. I think an IUD could come near to quite literally killing me.

I'm 17 years old right now and have been dealing with chronic pain(abdominal and migraines) since I was 12. It started with dually migraines and then went into daily nausea. I went to every odctot possible and they couldnt figure out what it was. I have been in the ER too often to count. It went over too extreme abdominal pain more in the upper area and then in the lower area also. I was checked for gallstones through ultrasound and blood tests. I also had a CAT scan done and two upper and one… read more

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.

I got a laparoscopy last year and was diagnosed with stage IV endometriosis; the surgeon suspects adenomyosis, too. After the surgery, my periods and cramps were light, and my IBS went away. Four months later, I inserted the Skyla IUD. At first, I felt no different. Two months later, my IBS was back, I'd gotten a huge ovarian cyst and had to start taking another birth control pill on top of the IUD. Now, I'm experiencing cramping pains every day - something I didn't even have before my surgery… read more

Hi I have the mirena coil in place and I'm due to have a laproscopy in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if the mirena masks the endo? Does it make it harder to find endo during surgery?

My gynecologist told me that she is certain I have endometriosis as well as pcos, with all my symptoms fitting them perfectly. But she also informed me that it would require surgery to confirm it so that I can get the treatment needed. I can’t take time out of work or college to do the surgery and life is miserable living it in pain and sleeplessness all the time. It’s not just a matter of missing out on work or school, it’s the money too. I can’t afford to be off more than a day, and I’ve been… read more
