Hello everyone,
I am just looking for a little reassurance or even advice.
First a little back ground, I have two children aged 1 and 2. After my last child i had the mirena coil put in April 09, after 3 months of bleeding, i thought the coil had started to work as i had no periods. However, i was completely unaware i was actually pregnant 3 months later i want to the dr as i started to bleed very heavily and the coil was coming out. She told me then i was miscarrying, although we were not ttc i was heart broken anyway, gave myself a little while to get over it. Went to the dr and asked to be sterilised which they refused due to my age (i am only 28 ) they said my only option would be having to coil put in by hysteroscopy ( sorry if i have spelt that wrong) anyway this took place on the 25th Feb. The consultant said that they have taken a biospy and the coil was fitted without a problem.
Anyway, i was due on the 28th feb. Since the miscarriage i have been 28 days every month. They did a pregnancy test before the operation which was negative. I had about 2 hours of light bleeding after the op but nothing since. I am so worried. I have had some light cramps but nothing that would indicate its on its way.
Can anyone shed any light on this?
Thanks
Jenny
Mookiem,
I am sorry you are having so much problems. I wish I could help you with them but I am unfamiliar with the coil. However I would not let them bully you into not getting sterilized if that is your desire. You already have 2 children and you are not to young. I had my tubal ligation 6 years ago and I am NOW 29 yrs old. Ive got 2 children already. I had a doctor tell me no he wouldn't do it because I was to young and if I remarried my new HUSBAND might want children. As if it didn't matter what I wanted. So I got a second opinion and after she asked me several questions realized I had a good reason for wanting to get sterilized. Ive been very happy about my decision since then.
I hope that your problems have worked itself out and you are feeling better by now. Don't let anyone tell you what is right for your body with the reasoning that you are "to young". Its your body and your life. *HUGS*
Enjoy when you can, and endure when you must.
