merena coil

[Maza]

I had the merena coil in for just over 2 months. In that time side effects included lots of spots, bleeding everyday but also more concerning is hair loss. It has been a week since removal but my hair is still falling out, am getting really worried. How long will this last for? does anyone know? It is too much of a coincidence to be linked something else. Has anyone else had this problem? feeling desperate help.

Why only 2 months? it takes some people a lot longer for it to work properly. Did your doctor suggest removal or did you ask for removal?Ive had one in for a long time now- not noticed more than usual hair loss, have you been to your docs to ask questions? i would go to see him/her if i was you. good luck

if you google mirena you will come across a lot of websites of women that have posted for and against the mirena . I had mine removed after 2 years and it was a matter of months before my body got back to normal.

maza I can't remember if mine was called this but I had the copper coil variety fitted a few years back and had terrible trouble with heavy bleeding.
I switched to the coil with hormones in, can't remember its name but it's quite new. ~Absolutely flipping fantastic - I don't get any periods whatsoever and no side effects at all. Result!!!!

Hi PatriciaH, the reason it was taken out after only 2 months was because of my side effects in particular the hair loss. I went to hair dressers today as I have had to change my style so as my hair will look thicker. It has been a week since removal and my skin is already looking better. So it's not my imagination.

Hiya Maza, ive got really fine hair and have not noticed any difference- saying that we are all different i suppose. Hope you feel better now x

Hi PatriciaH, well thanks for your kind words. Unfortunately, no change still have hair coming out, getting really worried now. If it does not stop by next week I'll be back at the docs. cheers Maza.
