Title: Mirena coil …Yes or No?
Post by: jacig1957 on August 21, 2024, 07:35:59 AM
Hi Ladies

I recently posted on here about the thickening of my womb lining (10mm)
I’m 66, post menopausal and currently using 1 pump of eustrogel and very recently upped my utrogestan to 200mg vaginally for 12 nights, every 6 weeks.

After an appointment yesterday at Gynae and internal ultrasound, I was diagnosed with several polyps as well as the thickened lining.
I’m now awaiting an appointment for removal of polyps, biopsy and hysteroscopy under GA.

The consultant wants to fit a Mirena coil whilst I’m under GA but I have refused this as I’m really concerned I could have horrible side effects.

I would really appreciate all your thoughts and honest experiences with the Mirena?
