I have a GP appointment booked for a couple of hours' time but I am a bit worried so I thought I would come on here for words of wisdom and hopefully some sympathy.
I have had a Mirena coil for 4.5 years now and don't really have periods, just occasional spotting. Been delighted with it.
Last night I started gushing blood and getting period pain. We had to change the bedding and I had to get up every hour to change tampon/pad. Hardly slept. Took some ibuprofen which didn't seem to make much difference with blood flow or pain. Bright red blood. Can't feel strings of Mirena coil, cervix very low, lady garden feels puffy inside IYSWIM. A bit of a temperature at 37.3C but blood pressure normal. Pulse 76. Don't think it's likely to be an ectopic or an STD but I am Not Happy.
Have to chair meeting later of grumpy people at work who are currently falling out. If I can get there without leaving a Silence of the Lambs type trail of blood.
