Had a Mirena 4.5 years ago (aged 53) after 7+ months of heavy bleeding. Was told at the time that it would be effective for 5 years and by that time I would be through the menopause. I had it done at the hospital as they also took a biopsy and a week later we went into lockdown so I never saw a Dr again. The biopsy was clear.
Pretty much every month since having the Mirena I have had light spotting for a day or two, nurse practitioner said that this can be the case. Recently though I have been bleeding slightly more for over a week (I will be 58 in just under a month).
Having spoken the surgery, I have now been referred on the 2 week suspected cancer post-menopausal bleeding pathway. They told me not to worry this is standard for my age.
I am guessing that at nearly 58 I am post-menopausal, but on the other hand I have been having these small bleeds every month for the last 4.5 years. I have hot flushes (although not regularly), very low mood, joint pain and have gained over 3 stone in weight in the last 7 years.
Has anyone else experienced this please? Is there a possibility of not being fully through the menopause at nearly 58?
