Hi All
I just wondered whether anyone has had anything like this before??
Basically about a year ago I started experiencing irregular bleeding, painful sex plus bleeding after sex. I also had heavier periods and lower back ache and period pain 60/70% of the time. I had blood tests, urine samples, a smear test and an internal scan about 5 months ago and apart from having a, ‘slightly enlarged womb’, there was nothing found. 3 months ago I had the Mirena coil fitted for my heavy, irregular periods however I had it removed a week ago due to almost constant period paid and painful sex. A few days before removal I was doubled over in pain after having sex. The doctor had examined where the coil was and said it was fitted correctly before I asked for it to be removed. She examined my abdomen and said she could feel a small lump in my lower right side. She said it could be a cyst but also asked me to do a pregnancy test in case it could have been an ectopic pregnancy. It came back negative. As did the swab she did in case of infection. I have another internal scan booked for this Thursday to try and find out more. I thought the coil could be causing the painful sex but two days after removal we tried again and, sorry if TMI, but during the act I could feel a pain in my lower right side, almost as if he was prodding something that was stuck inside me?!
This has been going on for nearly a year now and I am so fed up. I know I won’t find out for sure until Thursday but has this happened to anyone before? Btw I’m 41 and have two children aged 9 and 4.
Many thanks
