Has anyone had experience of having a coil put in during a planned c section? Any pros or cons I should know about? I've never had a coil before

I didn’t think you could get the coil put in during a c section

I had the copper coil fitted during mine 2.5 years ago. My periods have been a lot heavier ever since. But not sure if that’s from the coil or just pregnancy as I know a few people whose periods became heavy after pregnancy with no coil. They’re manageable though. I opted for the copper as hormonal contraception doesn’t agree with me at all xx

I’ve had a copper coil before (pre-pregnancy) and found it fine, my periods weren’t actually any different really but it did slip down into my cervix and then caused discomfort and I could feel it there
so had to be removed. Other than that, whilst it was in, it was fine

Didn’t realise you could have it fitted during a c-section to be honest. I was going to get the copper coil when I have my smear test once I have the all clear pp.
