[QUOTE="viviennem, post: 325059, member: 31282"] I had horrendous periods for about 15 years, which I now believe were caused by too much oestrogen from my fat. Eventually diagnosed as dysmenorrhoea, which translates as "you are having bad periods but we don't know why" :roll: Eventually I had the Mirena coil fitted - progesterone-loaded - which stopped my periods altogether. Bliss! I found out about it via the Radio Times, and had to ask for it - the consultant couldn't offer it to me even though she knew it would work! It was only licensed for contraception at the time. By the time it was removed I had gone through the menopause and come out the other side without a single symptom. If anyone is having a bad menopause it might be worth discussing progesterone treatment with your GP. It was researched by Dr Katherine Dawson in the 1950s. And the Mirena is now licensed for control of heavy menstruation and maybe (?) for the menopause. You can only ask! Remember, I am not a qualified HCP; this is my experience only. Viv 8) Edit: I wasn't diabetic then. [/QUOTE]
