Side effects

Hi Hun, I was diagnosed with endometrial cancer in Dec 23. Like you needed to loose weight and my BMI was very high. I have lost nearly 4 st and doing ok. I had a coil fitted in march 24 that has a hormone on.  My mood swings and my emotions run very high also. I think you just have to try and keep on top of it. I keep myself busy as possible. Looking forward to getting better after my operation. Fingers crossed. Think positively if you can. Hope things get a little better for you. I'm here if you need to chat. Take care....

Hi, I also have a coil fitted - almost 6 months ago now. Don't get many issues really apart from hot flushes from time to time. When are you scheduled for your op?

I have a Mirena coil in for almost 6 months now and have experienced some bleeding but mainly during the first few months. This is fairly common and can be intermittent. My team advised that many women have thickened womb lining, which gives rise to the bleeding when on hormone treatment. It's the lining thinning out, so the hormone is doing its job.

As for the moods, as the other poster says, you just have to keep busy and try to rise above it really. For my part, I take each day as it comes and try not to look too far ahead. It does help me a lot. Exercise can help with low mood, whatever the cause, so I hit the gym, which helps with weight loss too. Well done for losing 2 stone! I lost quite a lot of weight but some of it has crept back on, but I keep trying!
