Hi,
I am a 52 year old female. In the past 6 months, I have been having problem sleeping. Originally, it was because of my hyperthyroid, but as I am on Methimazole for the past 3 1/2 months, I am back on track. So I am suspecting I may be in Menopause. I can't be completely sure since I don't have my period because I have IUD (Lietta placed in 2019). The reason I placed a IUD was because of heavy bleeding and the frequency of period which came every 20-15 days. I did a Follicle Stimulating Hormone test and it shows I have 64.8 mIU/mL.
If I am on Menopause, should I removed the IUD? I know the IUD is a hormonal IUD, so it does provide me some amount of progestin. I am not sure if this effect the FSH test. Also is there any benefit to keep the IUD in me as it does provide the progestin hormone which I am lacking during the menopausal period.
Any advices would be great.
Thanks,
