Last time I had one of these a year go on the NHS they did it with the Mirena in situ. I have also had numerous TV scans with Mirena in situ with no comment ever made.
Since then I have had some minor spotting and went to see someone under private health insurance. She did a TV scan and constantly complained with it was hard to estimate the uterine lining thickness due to the Mirena being in the way. She wants to do a hysteroscopy and remove my Mirena then the reinsert it afterwards.
ill be honest im really conflicted about it as i have passed out from cervical shock in the past when i had a Mirena inserted pre menopause, and the last hysteroscopy I had whilst not as bad as I thought would be efficient in terms of them dealing with my cervix. Plus the gynae doing it was clearly quite senior and competent.
im just not feeling confident about this current gynae, after her remarks about the Mirena. Does anyone have any knowledge about this? I guess what I’m wondering is whether she wants to remove it because she isn’t confidant about doing it while the Mirena is in situ. I looked her up and she only qualified in 2018, which seems like no time as all to me. I wonder if I am being unreasonable to want someone with more experience who is happy to do this with the Mirena and possibly decide the hysteroscopy isn’t necessary as my lining will have thinned (she told me to cut my oestrogen in half and has prescribed another type which is apparently more gentle).
im not normally like this with medics but she didn’t make me feel confidant.
