Taking Cerazette, Coil Inserted. Have Bleeding. Should I Stop Taking The Medication?

I'm having the coil fitted next week and I'm currently on cerazette. My pack is due to run out on sat, should I just start a new pack on the sun or shud I stop taking it so I can get the coil fitted? Also I am bleeding now, do you need to be bleeding to have the coil fitted (mirena)? What will happen next week if I'm not bleeding will they still be able to fit it?

Hi.
Thanks for asking in Healthcare Magic.

The ideal time for insertion of Mirena is between 4th and 7th day of your period irrespective of bleeding. Both Cerazette and Mirena contain progesterone and so there is no necessity to start a new packet of Cerazette. . In case of Mirena, progesterone will be released slowly over a period of 5 years.

The chances of pregnancy is minimal in the first week of menstrual cycle and it is a 'safe period'. Hence there is no need for a new pack of Cerezette. Mirena can result in irregular bleeding in the first few weeks of its insertion. But it settles down by 3 months.

I hope this is useful to you.
