Hi Everyone i hope you are all getting well x My name is Mandy...

Hi Everyone i hope you are all getting well x My name is Mandy i had my coil put in almost just over four years ago following an emergency ectopic pregnancy, i was in hospital for a week (bad times). I was in no fit state to argue with the docs recommendations as this was all new to me, so i let them do what they wanted basically! I had the "DEMON" removed on Thursday night (1st July 2009) by my own doctor much to her disapproval After all the years of knowing here she actually didnt really care for me deciding to get it removed! And preceded to lecture me on contraception.I am 40 and have a 20 and 18 year old! and was mad she made a big deal of it considering my loss 4 years previous. I ended up telling her in my most maddened but calm voice " if you dont take this out now i am either going to kill myself, kill my family or kill you"! I told her about the thinning hair (which as a point of fact ladies for me is a big thing, not because i am proud of my locks, but because the doctors can poo poo any symptoms they like as hormonal, stress, womans probs, just woman in general!! but all of these woman all having thinning hair hmmmmm bit weird to me!) she did agree the mood swings and weight gain was the coil though. I am not the same person i was four years ago, despite having a great life, house, hubby, job, kids, i do get the same stress as any other person and want to put the world to rights, but nothing a few friends and a bottle of wine couldn't cure. (pre coil) If don't know if i will have any friends left! Today i have some bleeding (i never had heavy flow before thankfully) although i did have major PMT, i expect a crash at somepoint, i am anxious and panicky and actually thought i was having a stroke, but panic will do that, i have low blood pressure ( which is on the up) tingling headaches and all due to removal i hope lol and hormones being all out of whack. BUT....every time i thing of the little evilness not being inside me anymore i smile and feel great! It may be for some people but it wasn't for me, now i want the old Mandy back or whatever is left of her, and maybe drop the weight along the way!! Good luck to you all and make yourself heard xxooxxx M. :)
