Been to see the go for vagina dryness and been prescribed vagifem, was talking to her about my erratic and sometimes very heavy periods, I’m 52. She suggested having a mirena coil fitted. Basically I would like lighter periods and to have an idea when my period is going to come or no periods at all. I don’t have too many menopause symptoms, other than the dryness/itchyness and erratic and sometimes heavy periods. What are peoples experience of the coil, I am a bit of a wimp about getting it fitted, but have my smear with no problem, I don’t want to be creating new problems for myself, so if it’s going to cause other problems I think I would rather just cope with the periods.
