Hi Girls,

I’m an 18 year old with stage four endo that was diagnosed officially August 2018.

I have recently entered a relationship and become sexually active and as a result I have been considering getting the marina coil as it will supposedly reduce my pain and make having sex easier for me. At the moment it is agony but I push through because I feel like I have too (he is lovely and in no way pressuring me, it is my own internalised misogyny and I am trying to deal with it). I have been hospitalised in the past after sex and all I want it to have a normal sex life.

I would love to hear about any of your experiences with the coil (good and bad) before I make my decision. Of course I understand everyone reacts differently but I would like to just explore the options.

If anyone has any tips on making my sex life more bearable that would also be amazing! At the moment I’ve been taking two paracetamol before sessions to reduce any pain and using lots of lube as I’m very small and he is not.

Thank you so much guys, looking forward to hearing from you xx
