Hello,
About 5 years ago, I started continuous bleeding, very heavy and depositing blood clots, along with severe, agonising stomach cramps. I was losing so much blood, I was diagnosed with anemia. I went back and forth to the doctor, to the hospital, but nothing wa ever found, but I am almost certain I have endometriosis after reading so many stories and symtoms online. I had put on around 8 stone in around 7 years, so maybe that had something to do with my abnormal bleeding and pain.
The only thing the specialist at hospital could suggest was to put me on the mirena coil to stop the bleeding, clots and pain, and it's worked, I now have no periods at all, and free of pain, but now my partner and I are hoping to start a family. First I need to lose an awful lot of weight beforehand in the hope that when the coil is taken out, I won't be bleeding abnormally like before, and i'll have normal periods, but I'm very much aware that the road to becoming parents may be a very difficult one.
Does anyone with any experience of this have any stories (happy, or not so happy) to share?
