Have you consulted Hematologist? Any abnormal bleeding disorder? If it doesn’t respond to harmone treatment, Mirena is a kind of harmone treatment, it will not respond to it also. But 95% patients respond to either of allopathy treatment you have mentioned.

If hormones have not worked, next best is to do a D and C , with mirena insertion. Mirena produces progesterone locally only in the uterus, so the side effects are less when compared to oral hormones. The mirena can stay in place for 5 years, success rate is about 95 percent by 1 year .
If the cavity of the uterus is not distorted by firbroids or polyp or if the size of the uterus is not too big , mirena works well. Your gynaecologist will look into all these before suggesting mirena
