Jaydess coil

It's uncertain as to whether or not the hormonal coil can affect acne. According to our user reviews, some women find their acne is worse after having a hormonal coil inserted. However the levels of progestogen are much less than that found in the contraceptive pill, therefore the impact may be less noticeable. Take a look at our user reviews above or head to our guide on acne and the pill to find out more about how hormones can have an effect.

There is no evidence the the hormonal coil can affect weight. Make sure to take a look at our users' reviews above to see how our community report the IUS affects their weight. You can also take a look our guide to contraception and weight to find out more.

It's not clear whether Jaydess causes mood swings or not - no research has concluded a definitive answer which makes it difficult to predict.

You need to go to a GP surgery or sexual health clinic where some staff are trained to fit coils. Find out more about coil fittings. Once the Jaydess coil is fitted, the only requirement is that you check you can feel your threads which hang down through the neck of the womb in the top of the vagina. You should do this regularly, every few weeks, to make sure that your coil is in place. Read our blog about how to check your coil threads. If your coil is fitted in the first 7 days of your cycle, you’ll be protected against pregnancy immediately. If it’s fitted at any other time, you'll need to use condoms or other contraception for 7 days afterwards. You can read our comprehensive guide on how the hormonal coil works. To maintain its contraceptive effect Jaydess needs to be replaced every 3 years. Your hormonal coil can be removed at any time by a trained doctor or nurse. It’s normally simpler than having it fitted – they will gently pull on the threads and the T shape folds up and it can be pulled out of the womb.
