I'm another one who really doesn't want a mirena but it might be my least worst option too. I'm clutching at straws here but until the scan I can hope the utro has managed to keep it thin despite not having a bleed. I hope the femesron works for you.

I took a lot of persuading, but am now firmly in the Mirena coil=least worst option camp. Good luck, whatever you decide.

It was your post that made me think again Peri What

Ah, that's nice to hear, Sheila99! And your advice on other threads has been so helpful to me - very much appreciated.

If you decide to try it, I should mention that I asked for local anaesthetic, just in case, but didn't need it in the end. Although it was weird and uncomfortable, it was nowhere near as painful as I'd been expecting - just really one brief moment that hurt and then it was done. I distracted myself by talking nonstop while it was being fitted and had some paracetamol after. Light bleeding afterwards was annoying, but stopped in the end - not everyone seems to get this.

Thanks, good advice to ask for local anaesthetic. Apparently my cervix is further back than normal so I may need it.
