Title: Mirena Coil and perimenopause
Post by: SarahRoo on November 05, 2019, 01:31:42 PM
I've been on HRT patches Evorel Sequi for 4 months and they have made my life much better. Only side effect is bloating up (from head to toe) during the final week. However I am happy to live with it for the benefits. My doctor advises that as I am only 49 and perimenopausal that I should have the Mirena coil fitted instead. I have agreed to this to happen next week, but now I'm getting anxious about it. I've never had a coil before. All I seem to find are horror stories. It doesn't appear much as a standard treatment for perimenopause when I read up on it.
Has anyone any experience of the Mirena Coil?
