How long can Merina be used for for HRT
« on: April 16, 2020, 06:07:37 PM »

Hi, I am 54 and have had a Merina coil for almost 4 years now and it has been great as the progestogen part is my HRT.  For contraception, I read that if can be used for 5 years but for HRT only 4 years. Does anyone know if his is correct or can it used for 5 years as part of HRT regime? 

Many thanks 🙏

I was recently told that it is 5 years for HRT, I hope that is correct as I had mine 4 years ago this month and obviously as things are it would be good if it didn't need doing now.
