Mirena

I am on oestrogen patches (HRT), and need progesterone to protect the womb lining. I’ve had irregular bleeding several times in the past which is due to uterine polyps. I was given a Mirena IUS which caused nuisance bleeding for 9 months until it settled down. That was a long time to put up with irregular (light) bleeding, but I now have no bleeding at all, and that is glorious. I have not noticed any other effects, and am very pleased with the IUS instead of taking progesterone tablets, and having monthly bleeds. I do not need it for contraception.
