mirena coil for over 40s

hi, im hope im in the right place to post this, i'm considering the mirena coil due to extremely heavy periods, i'm over 40, i took the mini pill a couple of years ago but made me very moody.

Any positive experiences out there...

many thanks

I got the mirena coil fitted over 5 years ago for very heavy periods which were making me anaemic , stopped my periods and I am in my 50's the coil can be fitted and stay in for 10 years to see you through the menapause.

Any problems? Like, weight gain, mood swings , skin problems....

No mood swings. I have a problem with skin which is not related to coil

Weight Gain? Sorry but I worry about gaining any more weight since being diagnosed with hypothyroidism.

Hi I also had the mirenda coil fitted about 4 years ago. I did feel a little off for the first 6 weeks a few headaches and a little emotional. After that the best thing I've ever done no more periods and no side effects. I have put on a few pounds over the last few years but I think that's more to do with my age than the coil 😃
