Hi
The Mirena was supposed to lighten my AF and lessen my pain from Endo, but instead it has given me AF ever since I got it put in with a heavy bleed at AF time and pain 24/7.
It was thought to reduce endo in the body cavity. I needed it to help me get rid of my endo, but it seems that I will have to do that with surgery. But before surgery I need to loose weight. I also have other health conditions to take into consideration to have the opp. I am starting to think that a total hysterectomy may be the best for me after this night mare.
Some women this is good for (lucky them) but for me it hasn't been nice.
Obviously I would say don't do it, but of course it's up to you and you may have no side effects at all! Just think about the side effects and if you are willing to live with them--if I read about potential hair loss, I wouldn't have got this stupid thing! Or the weight gain--it's been terrible. Ten days till I get it out...
Hi
Every women will have a different experiance with any medication. All you can do is try it and if it is not for you, it can be easily removed. It all comes down to the fact it is your choice. You might be lucky and find that it is good for you.
I know that progesterone is not good for me but was told that it is minimal dose and that it is supposed to stay local.
Good luck with what ever you choose.
Take care
Chris
thanks guys. I am not going to have it inserted, I just think puting a peice of plastic into one of my organs, which is filled with synthetic hormone, is just asking for trouble.
Im gonna work on my diet and exercise and also see a friend who is a natropath, see if I can balance my hormones the matural way. As for contraception....abstinence is working well atm LOL I might end up getting a maybe baby to help with avoiding DTD when ovulating.
