I'm not going to bore anyone with my story because I'm not further forward than last time I posted on here! :-) However, whilst I wait and see whether I can have a Mirena coil fitted to stop the 4 month's of continuous bleeding does anyone know if I could take the mini pill and if this would achieve the same thing. This has not been recommended by the any Dr likely because of my age (53) but one of my friends mentioned it. I'm not too concerned if I have irregular periods, I just want this continuous period to stop! Any advice would be appreciated, thank you.
