and WHERE is my menopause?

[canteatcustard]

five years ago nice doctor popped in a new mirena coil < I say popped but I remember screaming as it went in> and she cheerfully told me that I could leave it in and be cremated with it in if I wanted.
< I have had visions of a pile of ash with a little blob of white melted plastic in the middle>

This was all good and as the coil was put in to control very nasty endometriosis I was looking forward to all the pain ending.

But here I am at 51 and I have sucked the hormones of my current coil and now endo pain is kicking in big time.
I have had many years of extreme pain which started after I gave birth to my 4th child. They are all grown up and I was looking forward to never, ever, being in this pain again.

Am obviously going to need another coil, but am not looking forward to having it put in while in this much ongoing pain.

Insist on sedation/ga

I have had my third bastard coil inserted recently and there are some issues . I practically climbed the wall when they put it in. I made it clear they won't be replacing mine without sedation. My friend had it pur in under ga as she is childfree and Drs wouldn't insert it awake.

I'm 47 and it doesn't work as well as it did - I think my menopause is arriving. Would you like mine because I quite frankly am not impressed
