Ryeqo and Mirena dilemma

I've had the Mirena coil for four years, initially inserted before my laparoscopy and endometriosis diagnosis. I tried the mini-pill but had to stop after just two months due to severe depression and exhaustion. Recently, I've been experiencing endo flare-ups, which has forced me to reconsider my options. My doctor offered me the chance to try Ryeqo, but I would need to remove the coil first.

Is trying Ryeqo worth it, or should I stick with the Mirena? I'd love to hear your thoughts!

P.S. If Ryeqo doesn't work well for me, I won't be considering the Mirena coil again.

Hi there,

I’ve been on Ryeqo for almost three months now and have unfortunately not seen any difference. In fact it’s actually been affecting my antidepressants (Sertaline). I’m going back to see my consultant tomorrow but unfortunately I think I have now exhausted every opportunity and am now going to have to get the Mirena coil just so I can say I’ve tried everything.

If you do go onto ryeqo please monitor your depression as someone on here shared this link with me :

This is just my experience but I hope it helps
