Ok seen my consultant, and it has been agreed that I will have the mirena coil fitted for the prog part of Hrt and oestrogel gel which I can dose accordingly up to equivalent of 100 patch.

My question is when to have it fitted can't remember if he said just before period or just after🙈 And why is this important. The leaflet he gave me says during period (yuck).

Experiences please?

Thanks

Hi smokey,
I can't really remember when I had mine done (just about to have my 3rd one in).
Maybe the reason for doing when you have your period is to make sure you're not pregnant.
My periods stopped  about 9 months of having 1st mirena so I had no bleed at all when I had the 2nd one in.
Perhaps sometime will come along who can remember

Fitting is suggested during your period as it is meant to be easier as cervix is slightly open.
I had my first one inserted four weeks ago, I am one year post meno so was obviously not done during a period. Even though my cervix kept hiding and doctor had to use cervical dilators it was nowhere near as bad as I expected😀
Mine was fitted as the progesterone part of HRT, I use an Estradot patch for the oestrogen.
