Is There Any Other Solutions For Heavy Bleeding Other Than Mirena?

Hello,

I would like to know if there are solutions to heavy bleeding (due to fibroid) other than Mirena.

I had a Mirena coil inserted on Dec. 14th, (2nd child born on Aug. 29th) and since I have experienced several problems. I breastfeed my daughter and have had a decrease in milk supply. I also feel extremely emotional (like constant PMS), have embarrassing hot flashes, hair loss, etc. I imagined the coil only acted locally so I am sure these are not symptoms I have brought upon myself. Could I be particularly receptive to hormones???

Heavy bleeding is terrible and leaves me afraid to leave the house 5 days per cycle. But I am not sure I really prefer this alternative.

Are there other methods? Do they involve hormones?

Thanks for any insight you can give me on the subject.

Regards,
