Mirena

Thanks for the info guys!

It has somewhat made me feel better and somewhat not! haha

I am having mine done under a general because of my endo and because I have had some issues with my uterus in the past.

I have PCOS as well as endo so my Dr doesn't think that I will have much bleeding but I will just have to wait and see.

Missya - How did you have yours done?
How heavy was the bleeding for 10 months? I don't think I could put up to with that! I get a lot of pain when I get my period and I don't think I need that as well as everything else that occurs with my endo.

Hiya Ele, Sorry it's taken me awhile to reply. I didn't have any type of pain meds or anesthetic (sp?) when I had it inserted, just sort of breathed through it, so if I can do that anyone can. The insertion was nothing compared to Endo pain. The bleeding for the 10 months wasn't any where near what I normally had to deal with and it was relatively painless which was a huge improvement, but it was annoying and I felt let down having thought it would stop it completely. It just took some time to do that I guess. But as I said for me it was worth it. All the best, please let me know how you go, cheers

I had my Mirena put in on friday!

I had quite a bit of pain when I woke up in recovery and quite a bit of cramping just like period pain which I still have today.

I have not really had any bleeding so I'm hoping fingers crossed that I am one of the people that doesn't have periods which is highly likely because of my PCOS anyway.

Thanks for all your support and advice I'm now hoping the Mirena will help with my Endo symptoms!

Hiya Ele,

Pleased that you didn't have too much discomfort following you Mirena fitting.
Hope things are going well and that it will give you some relief from Endo.

So far after my insertion of my Mirena I don't seem to feel any better Endo wise. The cramping is getting better and I have not had any spotting or bleeding after it was put in so thats great!

Thanks to everyone for all your advice it made it much easier knowing what it would be like from someone who actually has experienced it!
