Evening, I Am A Woman In Her Late(Ish) 40's I Have The The Mirena Coil In Situ, For About The Last 4 Yrs

[alinic]

no probs I have perionds as normal, altho in the last year or so my periods come and go as they please, for example once a month to one every there months, years ago I had bleeding that lasted about 6wks ended up get a lapo, and found out I had a cyst, so far never been bothered with it,
I have been bleeding for two wks now, just feeling a little fed up and tired, what could be the prob and when should I bother the doctor? or is this normal/ change? Thanks for all your replies.

Heavy bleeding usually occurs in the first 6 months of the insertion of a Mirena Coil......not after 4 years as in your case.

You didn't say when you had the laparoscopy but it would seem that you had an ovarian cyst which was benign.

I would suggest that you go back to see your GP to assess the position of the Coil which could be responsible for your bleeding.

Thank you again for your answer Sqad, cyst was donkeys years ago, they left it alone, no probs since just had a smear a couple of months ago, again all clear. So you think I should make an appoint asap?

Best to have an opinion from your GP alinic, heavy periods make you tired and run down, put your mind at rest get and appointment.
