Mirena Problems
« on: February 27, 2017, 05:08:00 AM »

Hi Everyone,
Had my old Mirena removed in November, planning to have a new one inserted as this along with Oestrogen patches seemed to be suiting me well, my worst symptom having been pervasive nausea. Removal was so painful, I decided to try a combined patch instead. Since then, sleep deprived, night sweats, joint pain and even nausea are back. On the advice given here, I gritted my teeth and went back to GP for another Mirena. Unfortunately she said she said that she get it to fit through my cervix ( due to stenosis ) and referred me to the Family Planning clinic as they have stirrups, retractors and anaesthetic  :o. I went there last week and the doctor seemed less than enthusiastic or confident that she could do it although said she would give it a go. Frankly, I'm think I'm too scared to have one now so was wondering if anyone had any other ideas about how to get me life back. :(

Further thought, wonder whether Femseven Conti might be better for me as the progesterone in it is the same as the Mirena or alternatively go back on Everol 50Mcg Oestrogen only patches and find another separate source of progesterone ( don't know what though ). Any thoughts / experience/ advice please ladies ?

Maybe try the oestrogen patches - Estrodot seems to be a favourite and use progesterone separately - either Utrogestan or Provera.  DG x

I had a mirena out and another inserted two years ago during peri......uterine insertion was hard and I was offered local anaesthetic but i declined......bug ouch......but all fine and happy i did it.
Ask for local and hope it helps.
Few doctors do the mirenas themselves x

I had mines out and then replaced today with local anaesthetic. Was not pleasant by any standard but on the up side that is it for four years x
