good luck with that - I will be interested to see how you get on.

I am not sure about trying mirena because of constipation issues with the progestogen - have you ever had this?

Good luck Mrs. January.
dahliagirl - I had a Mirena for over 4 years and never had constipation - actually the opposite.
I believe many who suffer with IBS find HRT improves things and when my sister was on HRT her Crohns was much better!!!

Never had an issue with the old constipation but then I am a fruit freak...nursing does that as I don't want to have anyone looking anywhere I don't want to show xx
