I had my Lap in June this year, I had endo removed from my left ovary and behind my uterus. After my op my Gyno wanted me to go on my pill (levlen ED) full time, no breaks. I went to see him today, to see how everything was going. I have been fine, no spotting etc just a little achey when AF is meant to be due. He wanted me to see how I go with spotting/pain and if I get anything, he wants me to go back and he will put me on both Mirena & Implanon at the same together. I can't remember which way it works but one stops the pains and one will stop any bleeding/endo growth so together they cut everything out.
I was just curious as to if anyone else has been on both at the same time? If so, what were your experiences?
hi sophie,
iv got endo but they cant operate as i have adhesion problems....i had the mirena put in jan this year and before that i was bleeding for 3 months straight....i had a d&c at the same time...iv had it out but it did start to work.
rach xox
I'm due for my second lap in a month, for the last 4-5 months I've been on Zoladex which is inserted via an injection every 28 days to prevent the endo growing. I was also on deproveria injections as well.
Before this I was on the pill non stop for 3-4 years.
My experiences with these are when I was depo it was fantastic, pain was barely there until the endo came back fighting strong!! Zoladex injections have been the worse!!! Whilst my gyno explains it's the best thing out there the hot flushes, moodiness and general depression doesnt really make it worth it.
Whilst I have no experienced Mirena + Implanon I hope this helps.
i have used both but not at the same time
i was also on levlen ed. ended up bleeding through on the pill so no good
mirena was good no pain no period and we did a lap 9 months after previous lap and mirena insertion and no endo had grown.
1st lap lots of endo, started levlen ed continuously 9 months later next lap, lots of endo so levlen ed didnt stop growth and mirena inserted
They removed "sheet endo" over my ovary and the stuff behind my uterus was not "deep" so fingers crossed I won't end up having aggressive endo! This is my 4th AF skip, and so far have only had the tiniest bit of spotting but I think that was still stuff clearing out from the surgery. I haven't had much pain, just general achey-ness when AF is meant to be due. So all going well I won't have to change anything.... I keep reading horror stories about Mirena/implanon... I am a bit scarred to know what they would to together!!!
Mirena + Implanon?
