Hello Ladies
Advice please 🙏 I have had a mirena coil for 5 years and have booked to have it removed on Friday. I use 2 pumps of Eostrogel each morning and this regime seems to have worked well. I am 58 in June and have slight spotting rarely, but will I need a different type of progesterone once the coil is out?
Before the coil and oestrogel I tried several types of HRT in tablet form but the one that worked best was discontinued. Grateful for any advice

Why not have the coil replaced?   If you have your womb you will require progesterone.

Hi Ladies, further to my mirena removal, my GP prescribed Utrogeston. I took them orally for a few days and felt terrible so tried vaginally (having read on this forum) 100mg for a couple of nights but woke the following morning’s with the worst headache 🤕 I used to take 2 pumps oestrogel each morning but reduced down to roughly half a pump each morning as I am not taking progesterone and worried about my womb lining thickness. Also, I have had two normal periods in March and April and am almost 58! I would rather not have another mirena but is this my only option? Grateful for any advice

Sorry to hear this Fimble. If you have a look on the home page you can find a link to all the HRT preparations.
