So I’m contemplating getting an mirena put in during my laparoscopy coming up but I’m still undecided. I’ve been on multiple oral birth control pills for the last 5 years and I’ve taken them all continuously so I’ve had hardly any bleeding. Before I was on the pill due to my PCOS I have very irregular periods ranging from every 3 months to once a year. So I’m very used to not having to deal with any bleeding. From what I’ve heard there is some spotting when you first get it placed, is there a time frame for how long that can happen and is there usually any bleeding once you have passed the spotting phase

Currently I’m on Slinda, which has been good but we believe it is the cause for my vagina dryness which is causing some discomfort mostly with sex. Has anyone experienced dryness with the mirena?

So I’ve been dealing with Endo symptoms for 6 years now and I’ve just booked my first laparoscopy in June! I’m a little nervous about the surgery itself and recovery but I’m also worried that nothing will change after the surgery. I have a few questions about everything going on

- I’m currently on slinda but I’m struggling with vaginal dryness that is painful during sex and my gynae has recommend I switch to the mirena as it’s less hormones so less likely to cause dryness? Does anyone have any experience with that

- My physio has recommended I get pelvic floor Botox during my lap as I have a tight pelvic floor, has anyone had that done and was it helpful?

- also I’ve just started ovestin for the dryness, how long did it take to find any difference with dryness

Sorry it’s long, just looking for some help
