Hi ladies,
I have had my Mirena for a year now as the progestogen part of my no bleed HRT. I'm post menopausal, and use 2 pumps estrogel daily.
From my experience, I very much think menopause is like puberty, whereby some months are ok, and some months our natural hormones ( or what's left of them) like to make themselves known.
I have months when I too feel really flat, not just a bit down, but total disinterest in anything, and paranoid thoughts that no one likes me etc etc., I have other times, like at the moment, lots of aches and pains and feeling old! 😟😟… what I find is, when I have times like that, if I increase my estrogel by half a pump, it can really help, I only do so for 3 or 4 days, and it seems to just see me through the crap days. It's not every month, just occasionally.
The way I see it is our hormones are always fluctuating, and sometimes we need to tweek things to help ourselves.
It's also easy to think of HRT as a cure all, and for me, it has made massive improvements to how I was, but the glitches still come now and again xx
Hope this helps 😊
