Ok so we have 2 options.
I'm 40. Stupidly heavy periods, especially on day 1, ever since ds born by planned cs 16 months ago. We also have a dd aged nearly 4. Plan to have no more children. Anyway, I have these crap periods,terrible pmt (cramps, aching, very tired, and moody as well). I also have a little 'pocket' on my c section scar which means that (tmi here Soz) period blood collects in it and I then bleed heavily again for a day about 3 or so days after my period has finished. It's a complete pita.
So. I went to my GP and he said I can't have an endometrial ablation because of this pocket thingy and is very pro Mirena. Other drastic option he said is a hysterectomy! I'm seeing the lead partner at the GP practice next Mon to chat about the Mirena more but to be honest after reading some of these threads it sounds bloody awful. Plus I really do NOT like the thought of something in me all the time.
Any thoughts, pearls of wisdom? Dh happy to have the snip. Do people have the Mirena purely to control their periods? I think I need a gynae referral to sort the pocket thingy out. Can't go on the normal pill as I get migraines.
Help!
