I am having the mirena taken out after a month because of constant bleeding and pain- I had it for contraception and am 51, but still having regular periods.
Trouble is the threads have disappeared right up to the top of my cervix and various Drs have failed to get it out.
I had an ultrasound today- and this will require a specialist appointment where they will apparently use a 'lasso' to hook it out- oh joy makes me sound like a prize bit of cattle at a rodeo.
The Dr has suggested trying a progesterone only pill next like cerazette .
Since the mirena has caused constant bleeding is it a given that cerazette will also cause problems?
I am currently taking large doses of norethisterone to stop the bleeding and it is finally working.
I would be really interested to hear from anyone who has had experiences of both the pop and the mirena. Did one work and not the other? Did neither?.
Feeling frustrated and slightly desperate.
