First follow up appointment

We went for the results of the procedure and for next steps. Since the procedure I had not been feeling great, the bleeding had not stopped so two weeks on i was pretty anxious.

We were called in by Dr Z who advised that Dr D was in theatre, she asked how I was feeling and I explained the bleeding was still on going,she then asked “did we not give you a tablet to stop a cycle coming on?” I told her that they didn’t and she looked a bit taken aback .  Dr Z  explained that there were a couple of adhesion’s which they dealt with and otherwise all looked OK, she decided the bets thing was to scan me and check the coil was fine and there was nothing to worry about .

The scan showed that the coil was  fine and she said that the coil had done its job and thickened the womb lining which had then shed in form of a cycle. They should of given me the tablets to stop this and then measured the thickness of the womb lining at the follow up ! Dr Z said called Dr D (in theatre!) and asked what she wanted to do and Dr D said to remove the coil as the coil was no longer needed she would remove it and then re-scan me in two weeks to see if everything has balanced out and the womb lining thickens again in line with the cycle days. So I got undressed again and had the coil removed which was not as painful as I thought, but again more rummaging and being prodded and poked which is always rubbish.

Whilst we were frustrated that they hadn’t given me the tablets I needed ( and hubby’s vein in head was working over time again ha !) it was bittersweet as it showed the coil had worked and bought my cycle back so now we cross fingers and hope the next scan shows the womb lining to be thick enough to start the treatment.

I will update after the scan next week .
