Yes I've never understood why I was told to take 100mg Utrogestan continuously. My GP told me to take 200mg to see if that helped, but it just made me feel anxious and jittery. She then started talking about how the Mirena is the gold standard blah blah - I've had two in and really don't particularly want a third at 56.
My periods were very heavy which is why I went onto it, I then didn't have any periods on it, which I expected. When my second one came out, my GP decided to do blood tests to determine whether I was menopausal. They decided on the basis of these bloods and my age that I was, and so any bleeds now are deemed to be odd....!
I had two periods this year, well spaced out, but they were as I would describe as 'normal' with PMS breast soreness etc., beforehand.
I'm going to go along today but armed with my history (the last consultant I had didn't have that at all!), and see what they think. I'm trying to avoid going down the biopsy/hysteroscopy routes if necessary. I've had them before with trying to conceive testing (blocked fallopian tubes and subsequent two rounds of IVF) and really am sick of being prodded around!
