I fell pregnant on the copper coil- I was told it wasn’t inserted properly and it had been sitting in my cervix

I love love love the copper coil, don't get me wrong. It is hormone free which was massively important to me and I don't have to remember to take anything. I just find the heavy periods very difficult to cope with, so you have to be prepared for that.
