Still bleeding on the mirena

Hi all, I've had the mirena since December. I take it with one pump of estrogel (anymore and I feel awful). I'm still bleeding. I had a scan and internal a month ago and structurally all was fine. But every day I need a tampax. Without one I get rusty coloured discharge.

At what point do you say enough, it's not working? Try another HRT. I don't want to bleed forever.

I don't want to alarm you but it didn't work for me and I had it out after 3 years.

I bled for nearly 5 months with mine, GP told me to up Estrogel to see if it stopped...it did, not sure if it was coincidence though! A year later I do get the odd spot of bleeding more a stain really.
I split my dose, two pumps at night one in the morning otherwise I feel jittery.
Maybe up it to two and split the dose.
