Last night I woke to an exceptionally heavy period flood at 3am. This was a bit to be expected as I wasn’t wearing a super thick nighttime pad, as when I went to bed it was still quite light.
I tried to sleep, but had quite a lot of cramping, with a few really sharp pains. I thought ahh that felt a bit like the sharp pain I had when having the coil fitted. I got up just after 5am, flooded again, even heavier this time, and just about got to the bathroom. I had several really large clots fall out, one onto the thankfully tiled floor, which contained the Mirena. I wrote it on my phone, just in case I thought I dreamt it!
I am due to see gynae next month as I have fibroids - I believe this is what pushed it out, and was considering having another one. But, my ED has the depo injection with no issues so am thinking maybe trying that. It all depends on what the solution for the fibroids is, but I really can’t go on any longer with the way things are. I am 48, had my kids, done with all that, so really would be ok with a hysterectomy, but I am worried about what could happen with that.
I have anaemia due to years of heavy periods, and I had polyps removed about 5 years ago.
I’m not sure what I am asking really, just wondered if anyone had gone down a similar route to me and what they eventually went with that they were happy with.
