Hi Im 53yo. Had a Mirena IUD for the last 10 years. Removed it Oct 1 2015. Due to my age, the doctor didn't want me to insert another one, or any hormones for that matter. 7 weeks after removal, I had a very heavy period. Then 2 more periods 26 days apart.
I'm sexually active so I went back to ob/gyn for a birth control discussion. They suggested a blood test to check my level of fertility. Last period was Jan 9, blood test was Jan 28.
My FSH was 37 my Estradiol was 151 and my Progesterone was 1.2. All other metabolic / CBC showed numbers in a normal range. I have not had a period since my last one Jan 9. This is Feb 14. Now I am concerned. Am I still fertile? Is menopause around the corner for me? What type of BC would you recommend for me at this point?
