Menopause Matters magazine ISSUE 76 out now. (Summer issue, June 2024)
Have not felt great since having the Mirena coil fitted! Lots of nausea and low mood which obviously could be lack of estrogen? I’ve increased again to Sandrena 4mg to see if that helps! Anyone else has nausea with the coil! The GP who fitted it said I wouldn’t have any side effects as the progesterone does not go into the system ?? Is this right ? Getting so fed up with the whole situation at the minute! Would just like a normal good day 🤞
Flan 747 - when I had the coil fitted I felt a bit grumpy for a couple of days whilst things settled down. I did have minor bleeding for about 4 months, which was a pain in the backside! But now things have settled down I’m so glad I had it fitted.Stick with it and hopefully things will work out
Thank you both for your encouraging words! I do think maybe it’s actually my hormones playing up! Should get me blood test results today to at least see if I am absorbing the Sandrena🤞 Will persevere like I always do for the 3 months then it will be Xmas and hopefully all will be ok to celebrate!
Thank you so much! Blood test result has come back at 356 which is the highest yet! Specialist said i need to get to 500! I have emailed her but she is unable to respond until Wednesday! Surely I can’t have more Sandrena? I do need more as so unsettled
Thank you Britt66! Reading some stories in here makes me realise how lucky I actually am! Will let you know what the specialist says! She did sayid reading was still low she would consider adding another preparation! No idea what that could mean!
Message from my specialist as I have just had Mirena fitted we have to make this week 1 of a regime and start all over again! So here we go again! Hopefully she doesn’t make me wait the full 12 weeks before changing things! Not woken up feeling great so a little disappointed to say the least 🙈
She said that this would be week one and they like you to try a new regime for 12 weeks! Feeing awful today so hoping it settles! Can’t stand this for 12 weeks! Don’t know if I need more or less estrogen it’s so confusing! I just feel like I’m one step forward 2 steps back!
