Abnormal Uterine Bleeding
"Soon to be 51 and had the mirena inserted 7 years ago for endometrial hyperplasia. My Dr (whom I love) said it would likely make my periods stop (hurray) and would protect my uterus. 
Well it DID NOT make my periods stop - and it took well over two years for me to start feeling &quot;normal&quot;. I have had pH issues and flares of Bacterial Vaginosis ever since.  I&#039;ve tried everything on the market for it only to be told by my Dr to &quot;use Luvena&quot; every time I brought it up during my annual. Anyway, I stuck it out the entire seven years and am due to have it removed in a few weeks. I honestly cannot wait. I&#039;ve always been very sensitive to progesterone- too much makes me feel like a depressed lead balloon."
