Hi, new to this so bear with me. Went to docs last night for more pills who has told me NO WAY can I have anymore .... high blood pressure/smoker/over 35 etc. I am on a high dose pill (50mg) because otherwise I CONSTANTLY spot. She suggests Mirena best for me as when not on the pill I have very heavy (but regular) periods since birth of baby 2 yrs ago. I see that this coil contains low doses of hormone but when I have been on 30 mg doses of the pill before I spot all the time. I can't bear it. I'd hate to go thru all the turmoil of having it fitted only to find i bleed all the time like i do on low dose pills. Anyone else had this problem with pills and, if so, how has it been on Mirena ?? Thank you x
