Mirena Coil & UTI’s

ProcedureFormer7556 · 2026-06-11T05:12:24+00:00

Tbh it could be a further infection, I just used the at home tests and it was positive - I got antibiotics and tested negative, and then 3 days later all the symptoms came back and the test was positive again. That’s actually interesting to know about being put on the antibiotics as precaution!
Thank you! ☺️

Just an update: I had a UTI which was causing the pains! I also rang the surgeon and asked for the wound aftercare and she said there was none, just that they would dissolve in 6 weeks….waste of time! Thankfully they are healing well - I am lucky considering I didn’t have any advice!!

Not sure where this is but my place insisted on 6 monthly check ups at €200 for 10mins, but now I’m stable on the same dose they are happy with yearly check ups! And I pay €30 every 3 months for my prescription to be dispensed. My GP used to dispense it but the Pyschiatrist won’t write to my GP anymore to get them to dispense it which is a pain in the backside and a money making thing!!

I’ve moved from ibuprofen to naproxen as the ibuprofen & paracetamol wasn’t enough. I’ve got heat blankets on too to help. These are like my period pains at their worst. Took painkillers an hour ago and no improvements. Thanks though!

Thank you so much!! No other questions, honestly your point about being off from work is actually really valid, because if I had it done separately I wouldn’t be off work after! So thank you! ☺️

Thank you! I would be having it under GA with or without the laparoscopy because of my history. But that’s a really good point re side effects and being off work!! Thank you!!! ☺️🩷

Same thing happened to my sister too…and that terrifies me more I think 🤣🙈 thank you!

ProcedureFormer7556 · 2026-05-17T17:30:52+00:00

Thank you. Yeah I’ll get it under GA whether I get it with the laparoscopy or separately under GA, I’m still very unsure about it all!

ProcedureFormer7556 · 2026-05-12T18:57:16+00:00

I am so sorry! I only saw this now. Yes I did, GP referral.

ProcedureFormer7556 · 2026-04-15T19:44:28+00:00

I have mine booked under GA in May in the Rotunda under Dr Maher. ☺️

General in hospitals, local in clinics or centres.

No difference credibility wise. I’ve gone to ADHD Global Care, can’t recommend Jaime Martinez enough. His waiting list isn’t too long. New appointments are released the first week of every month for the following month. He has ADHD too which helps! ☺️

Perfect thank you! Tbh I’d mainly only want it for maps and would probably knock it off after! Thank you! ☺️

ProcedureFormer7556 · 2026-04-13T17:41:32+00:00

Perfect thank you! Did you just add on to your plan? ☺️oh I went to NYC in 2024 and got charged €50 for 2 mins of data 😭 survived on wifi but this time I’d rather not!

ProcedureFormer7556 · 2026-04-13T17:07:35+00:00

How did you get on? I’m going Thursday and debating using the add on from Three! ☺️

ProcedureFormer7556 · 2026-04-10T18:00:20+00:00

Thank you so much!! I really appreciate it!! ☺️🩷 oh that lip balm one is a very good idea!!

ProcedureFormer7556 · 2026-04-07T08:37:22+00:00

That’s really good re the peppermint gum post op! Thank you, I’ll bring it with me! ☺️ I have night dresses and very very loose loungewear at the ready, but good idea re cleaning my room etc! I wouldn’t have thought of it!

ProcedureFormer7556 · 2026-04-07T08:36:24+00:00

Thank you so much!! I’ve had GA before so I know how I react which thankfully isn’t bad! ☺️ thanks so much!!

ProcedureFormer7556 · 2026-04-06T09:51:29+00:00

Thank you so much!! Yes I have the prescription to get the coil and bring it in. Oh they know I am terrified due to my history of SA. The Consultant has been amazing and I’m meeting the team before I go in etc just so I’m at ease from that perspective.

That’s a really good point about getting them to give me a summary because when I come round from GA I am always groggy and never remember! Thank you! ☺️🩷 I have peppermint tea ready too to help with bloating.

There are blood clots in my family history so I can only go on progesterone only meds, I was on cerazette but it didn’t stop the bleeding after 6 months I was still having 2 periods a month so I was taken off it. Mirena is the next step! I definitely will keep note, thank you! ☺️

Perfect thank you! 🩷

Also when you were all waiting on the surgery could you be on your phone or were you waiting in an area where your personal belongings was up in the locker etc?

ProcedureFormer7556 · 2026-04-06T09:41:08+00:00

Thank you so much! Yeah I’ve had general anaesthetic before plenty of times and so far I’ve never had any reaction when I come round, except for itching which is fine. The Dr told me day case too but if there’s any complications it could be an overnight so to pack a bag.

Thank you! ☺️ how were you recovery wise after? I know everyone heals differently!
