Mirena coil reviews

I'm definitely less psychotic coming up to the start of my period. I have a reduction in moodiness and irrational reactions. I've suffered with depression for a number of years. This is the same.

Perimenopause crept up on me and with onset of depression and weight gain with Mirena I felt older than my years. I thought my 40s would be my years after bringing up young children and the awful symptoms of Perimenopause came as a shock. I'm so pleased I went to GP and requested HRT (oestrogel). After a few weeks my skin looks radiant, my mood is sunnier and I'm beginning to get my health back. Don't suffer with debilitating Perimenopause symptoms. There's a snake oil industry of tonics and tablets which can dazzle women and not all of these are evidence based. Consider HRT its effective with positive health effects.

Confident it’s helping altho considering asking about increase in oestrogen as mood swings are leaving me feeling not like me

My experience using HRT has been a journey. I have tried different regimes. I first starting on tablets, but due to my migraines I was put on patches. I went on the combined Evorel Conti patch but that made me have a withdrawal bleed every day for 6 months. I felt awful and weak. I then tried Evorel Sequi. This combined patch stopped the bleeding, however there wasn't any change in my symptoms. I was on 50 micrograms with these combined patches Two years in I started to experience vaginal atrophy. I tried Vagifem but it just caused vaginal burning, then ovestin, but this didn't work for me either and I found it to be very messy. After extensive research, I came across Estring, which a vaginal ring, it releases a steady amount of estrogen daily into the vagina keeping it hydrated. This was a life saver. Due to my symptoms not improving, the consultant put me on a higher dose patch due to my age. As the combined patches only go up to 100 micrograms, I had to be given an Estradiol only patches with a progestogen, again as i have a womb. I used Utrogestan but that caused bleeding. I stuck it out for 6 months then gave up. It also made me very dizzy. I'm now now using the Marina coil in conjunction with the transdermal estradoil patch as I have a womb. My current dose is 137.5 micrograms which is Estradot 100 and Estradot 37.5. I use two patches twice a week

I was taking Everol Patches for 18 months and saw little to no improvement in my symptoms especially my sex drive Since changing to Lenzetto I have seen a massive difference my blood tests have also seen an improvement in estrogen levels. I feel I am getting “old Kate” back finally and not just want to hide indoors anymore.

I’ve been on HRT now for 1 year. Still have a few of the same symptoms but it is improving gradually just taking a little longer. I am in the process of speaking with my doctor about changing to a different form of HRT , and as I am having problems with joint pain, I will be seeking advice for this also as this may be worsening due to the medication.

I went on HRT to help with hot flushes, night sweats, loss of libido and anxiety / mood swings. I also get brain fog which I have suffered with at various points in my life due to changes in hormones. The HRT has helped with some elements but not all and I can’t remember the last time I had a good nights sleep! It’s OK, I just slap it on (the gel) and crack on. I have no real idea how well it’s working or at what stage of the menopause I am at, it’s all a bit of a guessing game and then lobbying of your GP to convince them you need treatment!

Oestrogel and the Mirena coil works for me . I think I would benefit from taking testosterone but my GP will not prescribe it.

I was initially prescribed Everol 50 and my doctor said to go back if I didn’t notice any change after two weeks. Listening to friends/colleagues, they said that was not enough time and I stupidly listened to them! I did feel a bit better after a couple weeks. When I’d gotten to four weeks I went back as I still didn’t feel myself at all and was increased to Everol 100. I’d already had a mirena coil fitted previously due to continuous heavy bleeding. HRT has had a very positive effect thankfully!

Due to being a poor absorber I have changed brand patch a few times and also had to increase dose to 175 over time. Still not right. My blood levels are only 181nm the vaginal dryness and loss of sex drive is since having the Merina fitted. Never suffered before that.
