Hi! I have read a lot about people's experiences getting an IUD while also having adenomyosis. I realize every body is different and will have different experiences. With that being said I might be getting an IUD mirena inserted in the office and I'm incredibly nervous about the heightened amount of pain that will cause. I realize that my uterus is swollen possibly and I'm worried about what the insertion process is going to look like when that is already a very painful process with a healthy normal uterus. Has anybody experienced getting an IUD with Adenomyosis and what was your experience?

Hi I'm a 36 female who recently just discovered that I have adenomyosis. I've probably had this for about 2 years with no real insight or help from my gynocologist. I am in the middle of getting a second opinion for treatment but I've been recommended to have Mirena as well as the d&c surgery.

I've been on Reddit and reading everybody's responses on how to decrease the bloating as I look 5 months pregnant everyday and my clothes are no longer fitting including the increased sizes that I also purchased.

Does anybody have any success stories or recommendations on how to manage this? My emotional and mental health is incredibly diminished by living in a body like this every single day for years. Please don't suggest a hysterectomy... although I know that is the only option to cure this, it is absolutely not an option for me at this age. Thank you!!
