I'm 48yrs old, on birth control and thinking about going off because of estrogen and history of breast cancer in my family.
As of this month, I have break through bleeding. My periods are OUT OF CONTROL.
So, my gyne wants to put in a Mirena, IUD. She stated that this should control the bleeding.
Right now, I can't go without a pad, because of the break through bleeding.
Before I can get the IUD inserted, I have to have my thyroid checked, and a mammogram. These are scheduled within the week.

Hopefully, this will take care of the problem.
Has anyone gone through this?
