I am off for a repeat hysteroscopy tomorrow and need to decide if I want the Merina Coil fitted.  I’m 57 and on Everol conti 50 atm which I’ve been on for 4 months after being on Everol Sequi for years.  I don’t know if to take tablets, have the coil or stop altogether.  Any thoughts? X

I've had a mirena since Jan and it's been great, no bleeding and no side effects. If you're going to have one it makes sense to put it in at the same time. There are oral options too which should be effective though you won't know til you try them. You can get oral norethisterone 5mg (same as in evorel) though the dose is far more than the 1mg you need.

If you are having a hysteroscopy anyway then it is a no brainer to get a mirena IUS put in at the same time.

The fact you are having the procedure suggests either a history of problem bleeding and/or endometrial thickening, both of which are best treated by the IUS.

Micronised progesterone is the least potent option for endometrial control.

Stopping altogether means you don't get the long term health benefits, so I would not let yourself get talked into this for short term convenience.

Thanks Bombsh3ll and Sheila99.  I’m thinking of asking for local anaesthetic.  I will be happy to get rid of this bloating/pmt feeling I’ve had since my last but one bleed x
