Hello all, I'm 63 and well into the menopause. I was on HRT with Estrogel and Mirena coil.  After my diagnosis of lobular breast cancer I was told to immediately stop HRT and have my Mirena coil removed, which I did.

The nurse who removed it said I might have some mild cramps afterwards and some bleeding/spotting for a few days. It's a week since it was removed now and I'm still getting some slight spotting, am absolutely exhausted and also getting occasional headaches, which I don't usually get. I will check in with my GP next week but in the meantime, I just wondered if anyone who was already menopausal and who has had their Mirena removed and all HRT stopped has had a similar experience. 

The bleeding is worrying me, although it's very slight and I'm not sure if I'm all over the place because of my recent diagnosis and the ongoing rounds of tests/waiting to find out my treatment plan, or because of the crash of no HRT.

Any help, much appreciated, thank you. Slight smile
