Hello,
Any thoughts appreciated. I had a mirena fitted approx a month ago when I had an endometrial polyp removed, and now have insomnia, truly horrible pmt style irritability (everyone and everything annoys me) eighty percent of the time. My gp gave me the side effects settle in 3 months line, which irritated me because, well, everything does at the moment. I was on three quarters of a patch of oestrogen only evorel 50 for 7 months prior to the mirena. The last two months before the mirena I felt the best I have in a while. Sadly 2 endometrial polyps having now been removed means the no progesterone days are over. I was only allowed to try monitored unnoposed oestrogen due to bad migraine.
I wonder if the progesterone undermines the amount of oestrogen and if going up to a whole patch from three quarters would help? The symptoms I have now are similar to the rage, irritation and insomnia I had prior to hrt. Previously more oestrogen caused brainfog and more memory issues. Three quarters was right for me, but now i'm thinking more could help? I don't see my gynae for a follow up till end of jan. I can write to her but I do know now I have the mirena in I can use as much oestrogen as I need (within reason obv.) I have read a lot of threads on the mirena and realise a lot of people get rid of it for mood altering reasons but in every other way it's a good option for me. Did anyone raise their oestrogen and did it help?
