Abnormal Uterine Bleeding
"I had an exploratory laparoscopy and a mirena coil inserted as I had been experiencing very painful and heavy periods for some time. The laparoscopy recovery was horrendous, painful, the trapped gas in my chest was soul destroying ... it was the worst thing I have ever been through. The coil on the other hand has been an unexpected blessing. I am about 3 months post having it fitted. Month 1 I experienced bleeding daily, but light. Month 2 I had a couple of spotting days. Its now month 3 and it appears that my periods have stopped. I still get twinges and sharp pains in my hip bones and coxic bone daily that last a few seconds.  When I do yoga I need to be careful with some of the poses. But Im really optimistic that its going to settle."
