Hi all,
I have always struggled with my periods, because of this i have always been on some sort of contraceptive pill from an early age. I am now 35 and still suffering.. after numerous gynea appointments, certain procedures taken.
Two years ago my periods became literally unstopable. Seriously heavy, and i was bleeding constantly for 4 months. It made me feel seriously ill - I was still taking my pill during this time.
My Doctor at the time suggested, just to get the bleeding to stop to double up on the pill every day - but its not a long term fix. Eventually after taking double the pill every day my periods finally, and slowly came to a stop ( thank god!)
Fast forward to today, I am still taking two lots of the pill every day, and yes ive had no bleeding but it has caused a huge change in my breasts.
My doctor has sweet talked me into getting the mirena coil fitted, to be honest, i have never liked the thought but with health changes ( my breasts ) i feel like i need to give the coil a go, almost a tick of the list ive tried it sort of thing.
Im due to have it fitted in the begining of May and to be honest, i need to hear some positive stories.
I have some major concerns which i have already raised with the Doctor and was very 'kindly' told, this is the next ( and only option) to try.
Any help, suggestions... words of wisdom please. I do also suffer from time to time with my skin, and i know health risks are more important than skin.. but i just dont want that to be another thing to contend with, regards to contraception, periods etc
To be honest, if i had my way, id have it all taken away.
Sorry for the long post.
Many thanks
