I'm 53 and went for routine smear test and nurse decided to remove my Mirena coil as it had been in situ for at least 7 years. I was told I could leave it in to take me through to the menopause and nurse said I should have gone through menopause by now. I had no bleeding during the time that the Mirena was in place nor did I have any symptoms of menopause, so wasn't sure if I had actually gone through the menopause.
Last month I started with a tiny amount of bleeding for one day (6 months after removal of Mirena). Today I started bleeding again (20 days after last bleed). I went along to doctor who said she would refer me for a scan as I had postmenopausal bleeding. Now I'm worried as I thought that the bleeding suggested I was only in perimenopause, but she seems to think at 53 that I should be postmenopausal and also that some blood tests I had done last year while the Mirena was in situ suggested that I was in menopause. (FSH 31.6, LH 28.5 if anyone knows how to interpret these).
Has anyone had the same problem after Mirena removal at the same age as me? Really worried now.
Thanks in advance
Anyone else too wet for seed potatoes?
