Was: Mirena/trying for another baby - now problems - long, sorry

[Guest guest]

> Thank you Kim and Debbie for completely putting me off the thought

of having

> a Mirena!

I will not bore everyone by repeating my Mirena story but in a

nutshell it lasted 6 weeks! Horrendous and the only good that came

out of it was realising that I was not alone (Thank you so much Kim)

However on the subject of trying for another baby.... the specialist

is now talking of Goralex implants to induce the menopause for 6

months and then they will 'turn me back on again' to see if that will

get my system working normally. This could take at least year and

then, and only IF this has all worked, could we try for another

baby. I had made the decision to try and go complementary for the

rest of this year, try acupuncture, reflexology, change of diet etc

to see if I could some relief that way. At least then I thought that

if I was OK, and if we wanted to, we could try again then (dd1 would

be 3 yrs 4 months and DD2 1yr 9 months at that time) The only other

alternative being a hysterectomy which I really do not want at 34, it

all seems so final.

Anyway - seems that part of this decision is being taken away from

me. A period (well at least that's what I think it is/was) started

Thursday morning, I was up all Thursday night with the equivalent of

labour pains, severe clotting, horrendous bleeding (sorry for the

details but night time pads lasting a max of 40 minutes - even

borrowed a nappy from the baby at one point) This continued for most

of Friday - spoke to the Dr who got me to restart the clotting

tablets I was given after the birth of DD2. Finally managed to speak

to specialist this morning - he has upped clotting tablet dosage,

plus put me on large doses of Progesterone and loads of pain killers

(feel a bit of a zombie) and will speak to me again tomorrow. He

wants to see me asap about these implants. Bleeding has subsided

slightly but still far worse than a 'usual' very heavy period.

Sorry to have rambled on a bit - just feel very confused and

extremely tearful over the whole event (not helped by the fact that I

am now dreadfully anaemic - sent DH out for Floradix) Does anyone

have any idea on how I can deal with this bleeding? alternatives? (I

am willing to try anything) My mum (DM?) is worrying in case it is a

miscarriage and everyone just missed the symptons - Me - just very

low and cann't really believe that this is happening to me - All I do

know is that I have been blessed with 2 little girls that I never

thought I could have and feel that maybe I shoould just count my

blessings and pull myself to gether.

Lots of love to you Beverly, I`m not much help with your questions but

am thinking of you.

((((((Hugs)))))

P.S. Ditch the NNS, you are not in a fit state to do it. Even get DH

to ring somebody and get un-involved in it, if that is the best way.

promise?

Beverley, haven't got anything useful to say about your health problems,

except sympathies - it sounds like you're having a rotten time - but what I

can and will say, is please find someone else to take over the NNS. Your

health comes first and if you're not feeling up to it, then let it go.

well that was exactly what I was going to say!

Its *only* a NNS (if thats not a heresy to say that!) and your health

is much more important, and it migh make others get off their bums to

help...

hugs from me too!

Apologies for last post, I just re read Beverly's orignal post and it

doesn't seem that I read it right. I thought you were having a miss;

now it seems it's something else

I had a hysterectomy after horrendous problems but I wasn't so young

and I had 8 kids, so I cannot begin to compare. *HUG*
