Post menopause bleed progesterone treatment
« on: January 09, 2026, 12:41:40 PM »

Thank you so much for accepting me to this amazing group.
A little background, before my help question.
I am 62yrs old, post menopausal for 5 years and started a post meno bleed 3 months ago. (Just to note, I am still bleeding), and have never been on any HRT). Went straight to GP and was put on fast track and had, bloods, ultrasounds and pippelle biopsy.
Thankfully no cancer found. I was told that I have a 24mm lining in my womb due to excessive oestrogen.
Im now waiting for a follow up appointment with the consultant for them to tell me the next stage.
After some sensible online reading, I’ve seen that the mireana coil is often used.
My question to all you wise ladies is; have you had one fitted and found it’s done the trick, or did you have something else.
I had a mireana coil fitted in my younger child bearing years, and it gave the most horrendous side effects and had it removed. I also had awfull side affects with all the different contraceptive pills I tried, and was always super sensitive to any hormonal treatments, so I am naturally quite worried as how to how it will affect me now.
Would love to hear your experiences.
So sorry for the long post.

Hi Bettysmum
Glad to hear that the news was good.
You don’t say what (if any) HRT you are taking? Is that the cause of the excessive estrogen?

Thank you for your reply, no i haven’t ever been on any HRT.
The build up in the lining is solely down to excess oestrogen.

Ah ok - I’ve never had a coil fitted so don’t have anything to offer there. Hopefully your follow-up appointment will give you more options than that. Perhaps you could take progesterone orally to balance your hormones?

I have a mirena and for me it's been great, no side effects. It's usually the most effective option for problem bleeding as long as you can tolerate it. Have they said why the lining has built up? If you're not on hrt and 5 years post meno it seems a bit surprising.
