Has anyone else had a mirena coil fitted?!
Question: Does it work on making heavy periods lighter?
Answers: Does it work on making heavy periods lighter?
Hi, I had the Mirena Coil fitted last August, because I have Fibroids, Endometriosis and very heavy bleeding, the first two months were the same, then I had a miracle of a recovery, I feel sooo good now, I would recommend it to anyone who has gynae problems, good luck !
they can lighten your periods or they stop altogether
I haven't had a period in the 5 years I've had mine fitted. I was so heavy I couldn't go out during the first two days. you still get the cramps and sore boobs though
I have had one fitted for over 3 years now and my periods are extremely light or some months I don't have one. I was told this would most likely happen after I had it fitted. Mine are a tad irregular now but its great not having to worry about leakages etc.
not personally but have heard they're good and don't think you have periods at all with them...
Yes and yes.
For the first 6 months it made my periods even heavier (I had thought this impossible, seeing as I was already having to change my super-plus tampon every hour!!) which apparently is because the body senses a foreign object and tries to flush it out however, after that they started to get lighter and lighter.
I had it fitted about 3 years ago and have not really had a period for the last 2 years, which is wonderful, considering the excruciating agony I was experiencing for about 6 days every month!
At first I was like "I don't know if I want a hormone releasing object inside my body" but the pain soon made me realise it would be worth it. It has literally changed my life, I am no longer crippled with pain or, practically haemorrhaging.
Good luck with it!
P.S. GOOD ONE, GOATY!! LOL
I have found mine brilliant. I've had it for 7 years and have no period's at all. It was a bit strange at first ( I did a lot of pregnancy test) but now I wouldn't use any thing else. Was a bit uncomfortable having it put in and changed (every 5 years) but no worse than mild cramps
Hiya Cherries
No I don't have a mirena coil fitted - just wanted to say hello
Most definately, although I do have problems with bleeding on most days now it is minimal and a lot better than what I had to put up with go for it.
i have had my mirena coil for just over a year now and i dont have periods anymore. i get the odd few days of dark brown bood which is old blood but thats it! the only thing i get is discharge. it makes some womans periods stop all together, some may just be lighter, the same or heavier?
depends really!
