Impact of long term Mirena (IUD)

Hi, I am struggling to conceive as I have thin lining.

I had Mirena for 10 years , which was inserted at surgical termination in my 20s. I was told only recently that this should not have been done in this way because they should’ve allowed the uterus recover from termination first. I had no idea obviously nor did I know how to research or advocate for myself back then.

When I got the Mirena my period became almost absent which was life changing for me. Prior to that I had always had extremely heavy, clotty, long, and painful period. It was truly life crippling. It was only through my first egg retrieval in my late 30s that I was told I have mild case of adenomyosis which explained a lot of those symptoms.

Fast forward to my early 40s now and my lining is struggling to thicken. I had hysteroscopy late last year where minor adhesions were removed. This helped but my lining is still too thin - reached 7.3mm max then shrunk back to 6.7mm in my most recently abandoned cycle.

I guess I’m just trying to understand what may have caused all of this. My age, yes, but is it my long term Mirena usage? Likely no one will be able to provide certainty but I guess I’m just trying to rationalise and make sense of what’s happening at the very least in this unfortunate situation that we have no control over and I’m trying very hard not to get upset by.

Hi all, on medicated cycle in (hopefully) FET. On Day 6 of 16mg oestrogen and feel myself getting very irritable and moody.

From Google, it seems this is likely hormone related. Yet I don't know how to explain this to my boyfriend.

He went out last night with his friends, which is fine, but didn't let me know he was going to be late late (came home at 3am). They also all smoke, and I was overthinking about whether he caved and also smoked (we had a fight about this a couple of weeks ago). I was very moody this morning and I just don't know what to say.

I think I also just feel so stuck in limbo - unable to make holiday plans (which I need to do, as it's just my personality, need to plan in advance, which I know is near impossible with this whole process having learned this in prior cycles).

Trying to keep positive but not TOO positive in case things don't work out. It's just a mind f***

I am in a 1-bed new build (5 years old) flat in London. It is is on first floor of a small block of flats. It is very well insulated and warm.

There is a radiator in our hallway but it's never on even in winter. I'd like to remove it as it's in a very weird spot and would like to build in some storage instead.

Question is: do people look for radiators in hallway? If I remove it altogether, will this devalue the flat somehow?

I was a first time buyer and never sold, so i' am not sure what the expectation is.
