My Mirena coil needs replacing and Dr dealing with my menopause suggested replacing it even though I don’t need it for contraception as it’s a good way to add the progesterone to the oestrogen gel I use daily, and I’ve always got on well with the Mirena. All good stuff. Except for the fact my GP surgery has peremptorily ceased IUD services (Covid ?!?!?) and my local sexual health services are only funded for under 50’s 🙄. Therefore I need to go to a gynae which may take ages. In the meantime Dr has prescribed a progesterone pill.
I’m now wondering what the pros/cons are of the pill and whether I need to bother to get the IUD replaced at all? Dr told me all this in an email 🙄 so thought I’d come to the MN hive mind instead of actually trying to talk to her….
