Hi, I've been on the Mirena for just about 8 weeks and trying to adjust to it. I have always had a lot if issues with pelvic pain and my OB wants to put my on Depolupron in addition to the Mirena for the pain and there are already enough side effects with one that I hate to add another. Curious if anyone has any experience or knowledge of these two combined.

Hi, I am not on Depolupron but on mini pills with Mirena.

Is Depolupron injection or hormone pill?

It's an injection you get every three months. It can cause major bone density loss and of you take it for a longer period of time, may need to take another drug to counteract the side effects. Which pill are you taking and have you noticed a difference for the better since adding it with the Mirena?

Hi, I used to have decapeptyl? injections to induce menopause while I have mirena, too. When I only had mirena, I was still bleeding but the injections stopped bleeding. I think it did a good job but as you say, I was on it for about 1 year and 3 months until excision surgery.

About the pills, I take cerrels? and cerrazet. I think they are good too because I have endo on diaphragm and liver, too.
