Oooh cup cakes - thanks HoneyB.
OK, lady doc made me do a urine sample (she seemed to think it was coming from there, I assured her it wasn't & I was right)

She then gave me an internal to check that she could feel the threads of the mirena coil - all ok.
She then inserted some kind of small instrument in so that she could have a proper look & she said she could see blood clots

.
She then said she wanted to make a phonecall to a gynea (sp) the local hospital to get advice.
Should I be fast tracked for a quick referral.
Could it be the mirena coming to the end of it's 4 year hormone licence?.
This mirena was fitted in November 2009, so yes it is due to be changed or removed. The gynea reckoned it was more then likely to be the coil running out of progesterone that is causing the bleeding, So I am being referred (not fast tracked) for a hysteroscopy & to remove the old coil & if I want one fit a new one in. They will have a good old look around to check everytjing looks ok & healthy.
Now all this will be while I am wide awake

. alright I know I will be given a local anaesthetic but I am terrified. The last 2 coils I had were fitted under a GA, mainly because the first one was done at the same time as a D & C, the second time was 4 years ago when the doc at the hospital tried to do it during the first consultation, when he realised I was in so much pain that we refused to do it without a GA.
mmmm me thinks this could be a trying time ....
I have been thinking of not having another coil fitted & to go on continuous HRT, & this is still my number one choice.
Crikey I thought I was done & dusted with all this, it all started in the winter of 2006 (seems a lifetime ago). Thank goodness for this forum.
