Hi anyone
I’ve had my Mirena replaced , old one had been in 7.5 years ! I’m post menopause but thought it might help with my low mood and anxiety.
I have a yellow discharge which I had checked and was fine just the coil settling in but I’ve been spotting a tiny bit , have any of you ladies had this ?
I read that the Progesterone can start you having periods again but very light , I thought I was done with all that 😩 will it settle down ?

I had a 1st time Mirena fitted last November because of heavy bleeding and very frequent bleeding. Although the frequent bleeding has stopped I still get spotting for about 3 weeks every month but I would take this option anyday compared to what i went through. What I don't understand is why your healthcare practicioner fitted this when you are post menopausal? The only reason I would think is perhaps you are prone to uterine thickening and the Mirena would help with this. Although periods are a pain it is beneficial to stop the buildup of your uterus.
Hi Woo
I actually asked for a new one , as I’m going through a bad patch with anxiety and depression I thought it would help with my mood, it’s hard to tell if it has as I’ve been tapering off antidepressants since I had it .
I suppose I was thinking it would act like HRT .
Didn’t realise it could cause me to have spotting, I wasn’t told this by the gynaecologist, can’t decide whether to have it removed and get on with menopause like others do.
Glad it’s giving you some relief, it certainly helped me all those years ago when I had my first one , it really helped with my heavy periods.
