Insertion - worst pain of my entire life Overall experience - very positive. Was able to track my cycle, didnt have to take a pill everyday and no hormonal side effects at all. I got really bad pain AFTER my peirod, which would cause me to feel bloated, tender like peirod cramps and feel tired. Removal was completley fine - a breeze and a mild peirod like cramp

I loved the copper coil however it caused very heavy and long periods and I had to get it out after 5 months due to anaemia. I also have pmdd so I wanted to try something hormonal to ease this
