CLKD is right. After having mine out I was back to my old self in 48 hours, the sense of wellbeing was amazing - hang onto that x

Hey all,

So I'm going to call the surgery. I've had enough. I had 1 mg of diazepam last night and hardly any side effects except drowsiness, slight nausea, but I slept well. Woke up not  feeling energrtic and super groggy.

 I'm done with this though. I feel like the diazepam is just a band aid over a deeper problem (hormones). Another reason for the coil though was contraception and the doc offered a non hormonal coil? So I may give that a go, but don't think I can handle the insertion (I had this one inserted under GA).

And how would I get the progesterone? Maybe I need to go back to the dreaded utrogestan which I tried vaginally (100mg) and it was horrible - morning like sickness etc. all day

I continue my search for the most bearable progesterone - watch this space

Thanks guys for all you support. Really appreciated.

I think you are doing the right thing by getting the coil removed. If you feel unwell on ultrogestan then you do not have to take it. I could not tolerate it either. You can ask to be referred to a menopause clinic were they can find the right progesterone for you.

What did U expect from 1mg of Valium?  That's how the drug makes me feel: drowsy, relaxed .........

Let us know how you get on?

I will do that thnak you!

Is it crazy that I just want to take the estrogen alone?. Thing is I'm peri and understand that it's risky with the womb thickening and all, but it's like I just don't care, I want to enjoy my life, right now.

And what if I had regular scans to monitor my womb lining?

I had been using my estrogen spray (Lenzetto) sort of off and on for 6 weeks prior to the coil and felt great and a general sense of well being overall, it was quite instant.

I know that is a no no, and I had a scan prior to coil fitting so all good down there. Just wish I could take estrogen only.

I'll defo look at a referral to a menopause specialist to find the right progesterone for sure.

Thanks again!

Thanks CKLd,

Latest update:

Interestingly tonight I didn't take diazepam, I had increased the spray by half a dose and slept through the night with no interruption. Not sure if it's due to upping estrogen spray, but I'll dose the same today and see.

Maybe all I need is an increase in estrogen to counteract the progesterone (I'm reeeeeeeelly hoping that is the case.

I totally understand why you want to take oestrogen alone. I am still waiting to find a progesterone I can tolerate. I have an appointment later with a menopause DR. I do not have much hope. I am not sure if they will let you avoid it and have regular scans. It would be worth asking.

Hi there.

I had exactly the same response to my first mirena back when I was around late forties.
Scared,palpatations and feeling super anxious. I saw a lovely practice nurse to asked me to take a 1mg dose of Oestrogen alongside it. Never looked back and onto my second mirena with the same regime.
Perhaps see a nurse practioner at your surgery for the same ??
All the best
