Thanks guys, but the reason I'm worried about the GA is because I'm 27 stone and I'm worried about the anaesthetic being so overweight

I'm having mine done on the NHS but if I have to wait too long for it I may have to go private as in my situation it may turn to cancer due to my age and situation.

I've got to have it done as I'm getting irregular bleeding and the last Period I had was a Period from hell. My scan showed I have lots of cystic spaces (don't ask me what that means either but it's not good). I've got endometrium and suggestive hyperplasia (don't ask me what that means as I don't understand it, but again it's not good.)

Hi, I have had two fitted and they have been great. If anyone is having one fitted not under GA then my tip is to take two paracetamol just before and take 2 Nurophen straight away afterwards. I didn't the first time and had to go to bed with horrendous stomach ache for half a day. The second time with the tablets was much better.
Also I recommended the Mirena to a friend who has bad periods and it didn't stop her horrendous bleeding at all. Everyone else I know with a Mirena doesn't have any bleeding at all though.

Are you having the ga specifically for this as that is highly unusual, and especially with your weight i'd have expected they would want to avoid a GA?

I've not had the mirena, but did have a copper coil. Not the most pleasant thing to have in, but worth it.

The one thing I do know is that I know of 2 girls in my dept who have got pregnant with the mirena in situ!

I'm not just having a Mirena fitted but I'm also having a Hysteroscopy and a scrape that's why I'm having a GA.
