Well hello and welcome to the wonderful world of perimenopause!
Don't apologise for feeling naive, I have been caught up in the hormonal rollercoaster for a while now and am still a mix of learning and baffled. It sounds as though you are needing some hormone support right now. If I were you I would take a browse around to see the types of hrt, i.e patches, gel, or tablet form to see what may suit you. We all react differently as to what suits. The coil should provide the progesterone part ok, but your Dr is best to advise.
I would then arm myself with any questions you may have prior to seeing a g.p, maybe ask if there is a Dr who specialises in women's health at your surgery. And go for it. Do be aware bit can take some time for your body to adjust, indeed you may feel a bit worse in the start.
And also, always ask anything on here, no questions are daft or tmi, even if you are having a bad day and just need some supper or reassurance.
Take care
