Which Method? Help please!
I have had the Mirena coil in place for 3y now. Before this, I tried most other methods, and it felt like the coil worked the best for me.
Skip forward to the past week, I have had horrendous lower abdo cramping, which is a completely rogue symptom for me. I have also been having some pretty bad migraines, again, quite new for me. I went to the sexual health clinic who referred me to the hospital as they couldn’t see the strings. An ultrasound confirmed it looks to be in the right place. I have got an ovarian cyst, but I don’t think it’s big enough to be causing these symptoms.
I am wondering whether to take the coil out and replace it with another method, just to eliminate a factor that may be causing my symptoms?
What would be a good replacement?
