Update after inserting mirena coil

Hi Letap

Glad that you are feeling a bit better on the lower dose. 

Am sorry that you are having some bad days but the anxiety, mood swings and feeling emotional are normal in the circumstances. If you need to talk things through then do give the Support Line a call. 

I hope that your next biopsy brings some positive news, in the meantime we are here if you need us.

I have had a Mirena in since last October - over 5 months and also felt emotional for a while after it was fitted. It's the progesterone mainly - similar to the surge you might get just before a period! The moods swings balance out after a while though and I hardly know the coil is there most days now. The bleeding can be that the thickened lining is thinning down, which is a good thing and shows that the coil is actually working. I was told that there would be bleeding for a while and that's nothing to worry unduly about. Stick with it, it gets better over time....

thank you, it is surely comforting to hear this . I am also having issues of weight gain, but as you said just stick with this and it will surely get better

There is a slight problem with weight gain on the coil too lol! Some people have increased appetite. This has happened with me too, so you are not alone.

I lost almost 2 stone but put half back on after a few months on the coil, so I am struggling now to reset. It's a real issue but not insurmountable. I am now trying the low carb way, rather than shakes etc...as at least it's real food. Good wishes!
