Just a little postette:
I’ve dutifully been taking the Norethisterone tablets the doc gave me last week, to stop the bleeding before I have the coil taken out tomorrow.
I haven’t bled for nearly a week, and feel better than I have for months, possibly years. I’m trying hard to force myself to take things easy and let my body fully recouperate but with Xmas looming that’s not easy 
These tablets are a temporary thing, progesterone only, and a week’s worth isn’t going to have a massive effect on my mental health – what the new pill will be like, I still don’t know.
But I feel hopeful, if wary. This last week I’ve started to feel like ‘me’ again. I’ve been able to get up at a reasonable time, I have an appetite for the first time in at least 3 years and I can do stuff! Admittedly, ’stuff’ means housework and a bit of shopping – not exactly scaling Everest – but what joy just to be able to do those minor things without then having to spend yet another day in bed to recover.
Bliss.
