Hi lovely ladies. Just looking for some advice please. I'm 42 and had my third mirena inserted via hysteroscopy in September. The first 10 years (2 mirenas) were great for me. After 2 laparoscopies they finally helped my endo - no periods, minimal pain. This time round I'm so confused. Periods have pretty much stopped, light spotting randomly and a few days of bleeding. Cramps have been ok and off - have been mostly under control with iburofen. But definitely more discomfort/pain than before. The main problem is my mood. I'm not myself. I'm feeling so on edge, a gruff short fused, snappy, emotional most of the time. Is this normal. Will it pass? Is it the mirena or my age? I begged for them to try again after a few failed mirena attempts and now I'm worried it's making me crazy.

Two things seem possible to me. One is that your endo is more advanced now and the Mirena is not as effective for you as it has been in the past - hence more cramps than you are used to getting with it.
Second is that as you suggest, your natural hormones may be changing due to your age and your oestrogen level might be lower. The symptoms you are getting sound like they could be as a result of the addition of the coil.
I guess you have to balance out whether the benefit you are getting from it outweighs the side-effects. Definitely worth discussing with your Gynae if you can, if not, your GP about whether they think your mood changes are related to the Mirena.
Hope you can work things out x
