Copper coil (IUD) and migraine with aura

More research is needed! I had no issues with my first coil, following my second baby I had one re fitted and first few years were fine, for the 7 years I had it I have bled constantly for 4 years my fallopian tubes are full of fluid and the pain was horrific. A private consultant took the coil out 4 weeks ago and literally stopped bleeding the day after, I have had my first recognisable period in 4 years and it lasted for 4 days. Don’t wait to have it removed if you are having issues.

I wanted to come off progesterone injections as I know within the next 5 years I would like to try for a baby. I had been on the injection for nearly 10 years so had no periods or very light irregular ones a year after stopping. Insertion was unpleasant but the nurse was lovely and it was over so quick. I have had fairly bad period pain but nothing some ibuprofen and a heat cushion can’t help. Other than that my skin has improved, my sex drive is higher and I have lost weight. My periods are a little heavier than normal but are now regular. I do experience quite bad ovulation pain now but not bad enough to take pain killers. I like knowing that my hormones are regulating and knowing it will work for 5 years gives me peace of mind. I would recommend to anyone who doesn’t suffer with heavy periods.

The best contraception I have used. Insertion is no where near as bad as you think it will be in your head
