I'm in the UK and was fitted with a Mirena IUD a year ago. I have been treated with Zoladex, surgery and the birth control pill (continuously) over the past few years and feel that finally I am able to get on with my life.

I now have very few symptoms and my periods have stopped completely! So hopefully the endometriosis should not have worsened at all.

I have not had any children, so the fitting was pretty unpleasant, but was lucky to suffer only a couple of days after with cramps. I know that this is not the case for all women, but it has been totally successful for me. I also like the fact that once it is removed things should return to normal fairly quickly not an option with depo or zoladex.

Hope this is of help to someone out there.

Lesley.
