Hi. I have a Mirena coil, it's my 2nd one, had it since late 2021 so shouldn't be wearing out just yet. My periods stopped completely with my first Mirena (once all settled) and it's been the same with this one.
Since February, I've had increasing bleeding which started as bloody discharge (sorry TMI) but is now apparent is the return of periods. This month was heavy (though not like my pre-Mirena flooding).
I've never had a cycle this short - I'm literally bleeding for 9 days and off for 16. Along with that, I have terrible low mood, before AND after bleeding, anxiety and a complete lack of motivation.
I saw the GP, who is unconcerned about the bleeding, doesn't think I'm peri as my last FSH blood test was normal, and has referred me for an ultrasound for reassurance only. Won't even discuss HRT until I've had the scan which could be months.
I can't live like this... the bleeding is fine, but my mood is awful and I'm struggling at work and at home.
I'd appreciate any words of wisdom or encouragement. Today I bought some well woman vitamins and iron supplements, not sure what else I can do!
