I'm trying the pill because at 43 I've been through 2 1/2 years of hell and no doctor suggesting it was all hormonal. Then finally when the penny drops with me..... I wait a long time for my menopause clinic appointment, ibkybfirvut to be cancelled in March, understandably.
I'm not adverse to trying the mirena and some hrt, but my gp wants the expert advice.
Also, I have read that during peri it can be better to take the pill to override your iwn hormones rather than use hrt to 'top up' what us already fluctuating wildly.
So here I am
. 4 pills later......
My mood was bad on the mjni pill and the low dose 20mg combined pill, so I'm guessing mirena alone will do little for me. My mood is good on 30mg estrogen pills but the physical dude affects are too much.
Basically I'm trying to find the progesterone that suits me. I managed 6 weeks on microgynon before I changed - the symptoms were getting worse not better. I know they say 2-3 months. But im taking it back to back with no gap so 6 weeks equates to 2 months worth.
