In attempt to stop my hellish periods, which are that bad I end up having to use maternity pads to deal with them, the doctors decided to try the Mirena Coil. I figured it was worth a try given I’ve tried the pill and the implant, neither of which worked.
So I went to the appointment went through all the routine questions not a problem, it was after that the problems started. With no warning what so ever the doctor performed a pelvic exam which had me climbing the walls. She then tried to fit the coil, unfortunately what should have been a straight forward procedure was extremely painful, unsurprisingly my cervix went into spasm and the whole thing had to be abandoned.
I had to book another appointment, this time I was told to take 6mg of Diazepam. So I turned up for the appointment, went through the same routine as the 1st attempt only this time after 6 attempts they finally managed to get the bloody thing in.
Since then it’s all gone downhill, I feel like crap, I’ve had bleeding heavier than my usual period; which I didn’t think was possible. To add insult to injury I found out that I’ve got a few torn ligaments in my pelvis and I have pelvic Inflammatory Disease from the damn thing. So all in all not a happy bunny.
