No! I got anaemic in the end, so had a Mirena coil fitted. Wish I’d had it done years earlier, there’s no need to battle on.

Very slowly got closer together and heavier, I was flooding at times. I thought it was normal, that that’s how it gets towards menopause, but it doesn’t have to be.
I had tingling in my arms, thought I had MS, when it was low ferritin caused by the bleeding. When I got on the tablets my palpitations went too, as I also wrongly believed that was something I had to put up with too.
