Hello again.
Has anyone got experience of either of these in comparison to Mirena?  They give a lower amount of progesterone according to product details.

So glad of any advice. This forum is a lifesaver ☺️

Hi

I'm interested in this too. Being progesterone intolerant id like that try a coil but haven't heard good stuff about mirena.

Thanks

Hi starbuckfan - if you go to the home page of the forum and type Jaydess into the search box a number of threads will appear as it has been discussed before. A few members have posted that they have tried it, and certainly many of us would recommend a product that gave out a lower dose of the progestogen that was also effective in protecting the endometrium - even if only at low to medium doses of oestrogen. I think the Chelsea and Westminster prescribe it off-lceince even on NHS.

Jaydess and Kyleena don't have a license for endometrial protection with HRT so using them for this would be an unknown risk which you and your specialist would have to negotiate.  Neither have a license for helping heavy periods but many women report their bleeds are shorter and lighter.

Levosert is another levonorgestrel-releasing IUS which, like Mirena, is fitted for contraception and managing heavy menstrual bleeding.  The Faculty of Sexual and Reproductive Healthcare (FSRH) reviewed Levosert and has produced a helpful document. This has a comparison chart at the bottom which lines up these four IUS so you can compare and contrast the qualities and benefits.

FSRH also have a produced an intrauterine contraception document which also discusses endometrial protection and heavy bleeding as well as contraception.  In this only Mirena is recognised for use with HRT.  FSRH also states they support extended use of Mirena for contraception, up to 10 years, for women who are age 45 or older at the time the Mirena is fitted.
