Hi, I had a Mirena fitted about a year ago which is part of my HRT plan along with oestrogen gel. I had the Mirena because I had mild endometrial hyperplasia and a polyp and the gynae surgeon suggested the Mirena instead of oral progesterone.
It’s all been great and pretty much all the meno symptoms I had have subsided (thank goodness). Last week I saw my GP who suggested vaginal oestrogen as well and last night when I applied it I felt the Mirena strings for the first time. It gave me such an icky uncomfortable feeling and today I feel like I’ve either got period pain (I’m 54, those days are long gone) or like I’ve had a fairly aggressive smear test. I’m not usually very sensitive but I think my cervix is a bit sensitive. No children and had a vasovagal response when a GP tried to fit a Mirena a few years ago, poor little cervix hasn’t seen much action!
I’m fully prepared for this to be in my head but just wondered if anyone else had experienced anything similar? I’ve made an appointment to see my GP in a couple of weeks so I have time to think about other things and cancel if the feeling goes away.
