My NP has run blood work and she said I was most likely in perimenopause although she did blood work in September before taking out the Mirena and she said I was definitely not menopausal yet. As to symptoms, I've gained quite a bit of weight and can't lose it (although that could have been the mirena) and I feel like my body temp has changed. I used to be a lot colder than I am now. None of that makes for a definitive diagnosis, I just feel like I'm moving toward menopause. I would talk to your gyn about it and they should be able to run blood work to get an idea of your levels. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/irregular-periods-post-mirena#post-2861048 Sat, 08 Dec 2018 13:50:47 +0000 kce56 2861048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jmom If you don’t mind me asking, how do you know you’re perimenopause? Was there a test or is it based on symptoms? If I was perimenopause, yes it’s annoying, but at least I would know what’s up. Thanks!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/irregular-periods-post-mirena#post-2861043 Sat, 08 Dec 2018 13:09:22 +0000 JMOM 2861043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kce56: I'm perimenopause so mine may be messed up when they do decide to show up. Good luck, I'm sure its not much fun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/irregular-periods-post-mirena#post-2861032 Sat, 08 Dec 2018 12:00:30 +0000 kce56 2861032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I’m actually seeing a different doctor this week - same practice though but after all the testing I don’t know what she will say. I’ve had I’ve heard many women take several months for periods to return post-Mirena. Just feels like I’m having the opposite issue - shorter cycles, longer periods! Maybe perimenopause but im only 36!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/irregular-periods-post-mirena#post-2861026 Sat, 08 Dec 2018 10:50:15 +0000 JMOM 2861026@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm following this as I had my Mirena removed almost 3 months ago and my period hasn't started yet. I had it removed because of mood issues, I was angry all the time. Removal seems to have helped in that area, I hope your anxiety has gotten better. Have you considered a second gynecologist opinion? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/irregular-periods-post-mirena#post-2860954 Fri, 07 Dec 2018 20:49:21 +0000 kce56 2860954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi everyone,</p> <p>I had my Mirena removed nearly a year ago after it was causing a great number of side effects (crippling anxiety being the primary one). Turns out the IUD was slightly embedded in my uterus though the GYN was able to remove it w/o surgery. Since then, my periods have been irregular, closer together (as few as 21 days apart), and longer (up to 7-8 days). I’ve had smears, endometrial biopsies, ultrasounds, and more - all negative. The GYN thinks it’s hormonal and I can either live with it or go on the pill. Has anyone had a similar issue post-Mirena? Did your periods even out eventually? Thanks!! </p>
