IUD

I just gotten the hormonal marina (i think its called) i would have had it a month on wensday so far i have just had period like bleeding from day one without stopping apparently it can happen for the first 6 months so im hoping itll stop soon

I had a couple sharp pains when i first had it in for about a week but i dont have them anynore

It wasnt painful having it incerted (i was 4 months pp)


I was told not to go for copper coil if you have heavy or painful periods as it can make it worse hence why i went for hormonal since my periods are awfully heavy

Ive had the Mirena IUD 3 times now and it has been amazing. It stopped my periods pretty much. The hormone stays local in your uterus too.

The copper coil is known to make your periods heavier and more painful. 3 of my friends had the copper coil and all had it removed within a few months but everyone is different

I had the copper coil although this was pre pregnancy so cannot comment on what it would be like after. For me getting it inserted was no problem just a slight discomfort but I did get bad pains for the next couple days but after that I could have forgotten about it. It also made my periods lighter and shorter so it was the best thing ever for me (I know they usually say the opposite). I contemplated getting another after I had my little one but initially was told it was best to wait about 8 weeks (I think) before getting kt to give your uterus time to go down a bit. I think if you had it straight away and while your uterus is still contracting down it may try to expell it

I had the copper coil years ago and spent 6 months HEAVILY bleeding. Ruined my sex life.

I got the hormone one fitted during my c section. My c section was 23rd September and it FELL out on the 9th October - apparently common after a c section. I was lightly bleeding but unsure if related to birth or coil but stopped once the coil fell out.
