Natalie symptoms and conditions

Hi, i'm 24 and i've had my mirena coil fitted now for over a year. I have been experiencing cramps, bleeding, headaches, tiredness, dizziness and aches in my legs but never thought anything of it. Until now when my cramps are severe in my tummy and lower back. I can describe them as a few things, labor pains, severe period pains and also appendicitis pain. its not my appendix, as I had it taken out years ago. I recently went to my GP who advised that I have a pregnancy test just to rule out an ectopic pregnancy, which came back negative. She advised that I should take regular paracetamol for the pain and see how I go. But they don't seem to disappear. I now have the same cramps but now also my bum area as well as my tummy area and lower back when I go to toilet whether for a number 1 or number 2, and it is excruciating which makes me cry. I also recently had intercourse with my partner, and the cramps came back with a vengeance, and i was in so much pain, i almost called an ambulance. I have no idea as to what I think it is until I started writing my symptoms into the internet and came back that it may be my mirena coil. I never thought anything of it at first, but after reading other peoples side effects of the coil i'm beginning to wonder. Some people are saying that the coil had pierced there uterus and infected their ovaries, and they suffered with the same side effects that I am experiencing. I am scared as to what I think it may be, in case my coil has done the same. I have also noticed that i cannot feel my coil strings but at the same time I have not experienced any bleeding. Could anyone give me advice. Thank you N.

Hi, I was taking Yasmin for around 3 years when I started becoming really tired and lost half my hair among other symptoms. I went of BCP all together and read up my symptoms on the net as I suspected my thyroid was under active - sure enough TSH levels were too high but T3 and T4 levels came back normal - was put on 50mcg of thyroxine but because I was still symptomatic this was upped to 100mcg, I have since discovered I also have multiple nodules on my thyroid. 18 months later my doctor talked me into getting a Depo Provera Injection and in the last 9 weeks since I had it I have never felt so ill in my life. Night Sweats, fever, swollen glands, nausea, sore throat just to name a few. I have had to halve the thyroxine tablets and I am still feeling lousy. I am seeing a throat specialist this afternoon. Wish me luck. N.

HEY EVERYBODY, IVE BEEN ON FEMCON FE FOR THE PAST 6MNTHS AND I HATE IT.

YOUR REPLY IS GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!

I was on it the NR for about two months, the first time we had sex, there was a weird burning sensation, so I talked to my doctor, she said, it was weird, but not worry about it!
Ladies pay attention to your body, we know it better than the doctors!
I now have experienced......................
1. Sharp leg pains, on the left side.
2. Stabbing headaches.
3. Unusual bleeding.
4. Scalp soreness.
5.Arm numbness.
6. Breathing problems.
7. And mood swings that made me think I was crazy!!!!

I have now taken it out, feel like it probbably could have killed me,
Didn't have a good feeling about it, and will now probbably get tests done, this needs to be heard about.
Anyone can talk to me about it.
God Bless,
Natalie W.
