Hi this is my first post but have been a member for a long time.
I thought i was sailing through menopause, am 53 and have had no bleeding for the last 18 months, i do have the mirena coil in and have done for the last 4 years and one for 7 years previous to that. Had flushes (was treating them herbally) and presumed i was well on my way!
3 weeks ago i started spotting and this lasted about a week. Got the doc involved straight away and she referred me to the hospital. Had an appoinment on the 10th August and cutting a long story short, the consultant said he thinks the hormone in the coil had stopped working and so i had the coil changed. That did the trick but now i have no flipping idea if i am even in menopause or not! My mother went through and was all done by the time she was 47!
Anyone else ever been in this predicament?
Thanks
