Hi, so I had mirena coil fitted a few years ago to stop flooding and constant bleeding. Also found out that I had many adhesions from endometriosis and fibroids. Whilst they inserted the mirena under GA they also lasered away these adhesions and took a sample of the mass, which turned out to be fibroids.
For 6 months the bleeding was still heavy and constant, then it lessened and wasn't so heavy, but after 4 years I'm still bleeding almost constantly.
Basically, I have about 2 weeks of 'period' bleeding (when it's heavier, etc) then the rest of the month I'll bleed one day, spot the next couple, then bleed again, etc.
This means that I probably only have about a week throughout each month when I'm not bleeding, and they're not usually consecutive.
I'm suffering really bad mood swings, which I didn't before, and have no libido at all.
I asked to have it removed as I felt it wasn't effective enough and not with it with the side effects that I was suffering.
My consultant refused and said they wanted me to try 6 months with injections as well as the coil first.
I've recently gone against their wishes and on Monday I had it removed by someone who didn't know my consultant didn't agree to it. I had been bleeding for 2 days when they removed it after 4 days of not bleeding previous to that. On Tuesday, I had the first injection with the consultant.
Since then I've been bleeding really heavily with clots and flooding.
Just wondering if you think it's connected? Will the hormones from the mirena already be out of my system?
