I've now had the mirena coil 6 months and would like to share my experience.
Although successful re bleeding/spotting, some may remember I suffered initially with bloating,
impaired libido and flat mood. I'm pleased to say that 6 months on things are resolved. I've dropped the weight by being very strict with diet, avoiding bread and eating a mainly plant based diet has helped. Libido (response in particular) is much improved thanks to the introduction of a tiny blob of testim every day. Finally, I'm pleased to report that the flat mood (more a sort of lack of joy, and intermittent not all the time) has gone and I'm back to my old self.
I don't mind admitting it hasn't all been plain sailing but I'm so glad I stuck with it. I was advised to give it 6 months and that was so right. Best of all though is the thought of no periods/withdrawal bleeds for the next 4 years, yay.
