Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am 46. Had a mirena put in 2010. Periods stopped until approximately 3 months before the new mirena was inserted.
I had spotting, sometimes a light period sometimes within 3 months. Sometimes within 3 weeks There was no pattern.
Second mirena was placed may 2015 and the periods here and there continued along with spotting here and there.
I had a FSH and estradiol lab FSH 134 Estradiol -15
2 months later, the same results FSH 132 Estradiol -15
Was concerned about bleeding if I were to be post menopausal Had a BX. It was negative. I removed the mirena at this time.
Soon after, I was found to have 2 simple ovarian cysts ( confirmed with MRI)
Of course I questioned all of this again with my post menopausal labs so I had them run again. Four weeks after the mirena was removed FSH 4.9 Estradiol 86
My Gyn has no answers and I'm confused.
I don't know if I'm post menopausal and the spotting / periods ( ranging from 3 weeks to 3 months ) are abnormal or if I'm not menopausal?
I could use some advice.
Thank you!! Looking foward to your response
