starissa

hi, i also have bad endo and have for 10 years now. I have tried everything from bc pills, 3 laps and 2 rounds or lupron shots. this last round was for a year. after 6 months off the shot the pain came back, My doc also recomened merina and i had it put in 2 weeks ago. I havent noticed any side affects yes but i will warn you it is a horrid painfull 5 min procedure when they put the iud in. I almost leaped off the table from the pain. I was in awful pain after for a few hours. I seem to be ok now with just minor cramps here and there and spotting but the doc said that would be normal. My only concern is that my BF thinks he feels the iud, but when i try to feel for it i cant. I dont have my follow up ultra sound till the 3rd. I hope this helps you some. I went the iud route also due to my heath ins will not cover anything that has to do with birthconrol so it was my best option since its good for 5 years with a one time out of my pocket cost.
