hi ladies, im new here and found this thread via google!
just wrapping my head round the site but im struggling to create my own thread? anyways! i had my mirena coil fitted about 2 years ago now and had no problems what so ever! no periods or anything! back in july/august i started to bleed my doctor put me on meds to stop the bleeding wile i went on holiday...happy days...i returned home stopped the meds and started bleeding again! it got so bad i was rushed to hospital with suspected ectopic pregnancy! came bag neg! so... i was told i may be one of the few sufferers of what they call 'sporadic bleeding' where i would randomly bleed then stop again..the problem being i dont exactly stop? i have had many days worth of pain... so then my doc put me on tranesamic acid... to stop bleeding, these should stop it completely...but it hasnt stopped as such.. i still have to wear a pantyliner! so when im not so bad if i do have sex it hurts and feels like a HUGE pressure build up in my womb/cervix! im also getting period pains.. which i havent had since having my daughter! can anybody help me? also im currently on amoxcicillin..does this cancel out my hormoan within the coil like it does the pill? hope your all well

I would ask your GP to arrange a referral to a gynae as soon as possible.

What you describe symptom wise could be indicative of endometriosis; the pain during sex could be well due to endometriosis and is a recognised symptom. Very painful periods are also indicative of endometriosis.

Do not be fobbed off with short term solutions like transexamic acid; these do nothing to address the actual cause of the bleeding episodes. The cause of all this needs to be properly ascertained.

Be firm with the GP and insist on a referral. You do not have to put up with this.
