Hi,
With regards to the bleeding, I'd never had prolonged bleeding before to be honest, so I think that it was due to the IUD. I started to get terrible cramping too, which caused me to miss time off work as couldn't do anything, but I think my pain was also from my endo which as you say, was being aggravated by the IUD.
I was hoping the IUD would work for me, but it wasn't to be. I am very sensitive to hormones too. I have tried Cerazette, the mini-pill, and to be honest, I didn't like it much. Although it is bad for my endo, I feel better with some oestrogen, which also helps with acne too. However, I would consider taking it again if it was deemed better for me.
I would look into the Mirena or the normal IUD if you want one. With either, you will need to find other ways to manage any PCOS symptoms you have, because neither actually help PCOS particularly.
Just a tip before having an IUD inserted - take the strongest painkillers possible and hour before, eat before so you don't pass out, and I would advise you went when you were on your period seeing as the cervix is softer and more open, so it can be less uncofortable! xx |
