Mirina Coil and HRT
Posted , 6 users are following.
Hi Ladies,
I am 46, perri menopausal & currently taking Femoston 1/10 which gives me both Estrogeon and Progesterone. I’m not too keen on the Progesterone bit. Therefore, I plan to have the Mirina coil put in next month - currently have the copper coil but it should have been changed years ago! Do you think it’s ok to go for this Mirina coil just because I don’t like the Progesterone part of HRT? I just wonder if it’s better for your body to have periods? Thanks in advance ladies!

Please pay more attention to your gynecological health! It's not something that one can neglect without consequences. xx

Hi Lydia, for the first couple of months I was having heart palpatations (only when on the Progesterone part of the cycle)but to be fair that has subsideded. It's hard to explain but I just don't feel that good on it,terrible sleep, slightly more adgertated. I don't know, just prefer the two weeks of estrogeon xx

Totally get not 'feeling good' or feeling like yourself when trying to work out the balance between the two. I have friends whose lives have changed for the better and have had no problems with Mirena, but when I tried it a few years back it was a horrible experience. Massive anxiety, spotting constantly, weight gain and emotionally all over the place. I stuck it out for as long as I could but after 4 months I got my local gp to remove it. I felt like I'd failed somehow, but gp said some women are more sensitive to synthetic progesterone than others. Just do your research before making a decision. I wasted 4 months on trying to stick it out with mirena, but after removal all my symptoms reduced really quickly. So good luck and let us know how you get on.
