Hi
I went to see the Gyn to have it checked at the 8 week mark. I was bleeding like I always have with the Mirena. The Dr wants me to start on some oral provera tablets as she thinks the mirena is not working for me. I have decided not to take the extra homone as provera makes me gain weight. So I have still got it in for another 8 weeks untill the next reveiw. The Dr is hopeing that the bleeding settles down and stops, I am not holding my breath.

I feel like it is causeing me more pain. Did anyone with endo have more pain while they were being treated with a mirena.
The Dr also said that it just works in the pelvic area as that is where it is put. But it would have to be absorbed into the blood stream to affect the endo on the organs outside of the uterus. Just like if I put in a suppository it works on the pain in my body. To me it is confuseing. How dose it affect the endo if it does not enter the blood stream to get to the endo???

The registra could not answer my questions...
I am feeling like the Dr's have put me in a too hard basket and want me to go away.
Any words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Chris
