I have not had any blood work done yet. I am on estradiol. 025 and progesterone 100mg. I am going to switch to Mirena IUD because I feel so sleepy and moody with this much progesterone.

Do you have any side effects? How do you like the IUD?

Thank you for posting!

I love the IUD. I had my first Mirena inserted in 2004. Since then, have had several swaps. I think it is the best. I sometimes have spotting but that is all.

I am on the same dose of Estradiol as you. Mine comes in the form of Vivelle Dot patches which I change twice a week. How about yours? My patches stick to the skin of the stomach really well and do not come off after I shower or swim. They are very convenient.
