Got my Kyleena fitted in August 2020 and I must say it was not as painful as I thought it would! Maybe the painkillers I was given had an effect, or maybe it was my amazing OB/GYN who managed to help me manage my stress, maybe it's both, but what a relief! I had cramps the next 30 minutes following the insertion and then they stopped. For the first couple months I experienced some spotting, some random (very manageable) cramps, and some breast tenderness, but once my body got used to the IUS those were all gone. I haven't experienced any specific side effect, overall very happy with my contraception at the moment!

I had the Kyleena coil fitted almost 4 years ago and have been very happy with my experience overall. Fitting was quite uncomfortable and I did suffer from cramping immediately afterwards but this subsided after 24 hours. Having previously tried two different combined pills which both made me gain weight and enlarged my breasts, once I had the Kyleena fitted I lost weight without trying and noticed a reduction in my appetite which I have seen as a good thing. My boobs shrunk too. My period has become really light and quite erratic but never went completely. I get really tender breasts and some cramping approximately 2 weeks-10days before bleeds which tend to happen monthly. I experienced painful cystic acne on my chin in the first few months after having the Kyleena fitted, but this has gone now. I feel much more like ‘myself’ with the coil compared to the pill which caused me to have really low moods. Overall I would recommend the Kyleena and plan to have another IUS fitted when the time comes!

After being taken off several pills, I switched over to the Kyleena as it had the most balanced side effects according to most users. After getting it, I experience quite extreme pelvic cramping every now and then, however it has nothing to do with my period - to the point that I thought I might have pelvic inflammatory disease. The coil is absolutely great in that I don't have to worry about it day to day and it is really convenient. Would recommend, but just be aware of the side effects. Also, if you decide to get one, make sure to ask the healthcare provider, e.g. nurse, to numb you down there. They will probably be more than happy to do so - they numbed me and I didn't feel a thing.

It took me many months to finally commit to getting the coil but it was a really great decision. 

The insertion hurt quite a lot. I was advised to take painkillers beforehand but they weren't enough and next time I would definitely ask for my cervix to be numbed. Minus the pain, the insertion was pretty quick and I just kept reminding myself that once it was in, I hopefully wouldn't have to worry about it for a few years. 

Post-implant I had cramps for a few weeks, alongside some bleeding and I did get an infection but the clinic were quick to get me back in and some antibiotics sorted that out. 

Other than that, I've generally only experienced minor side effects. I initially experienced some breast tenderness which settled after a few months and my boobs have got  slightly bigger but that's it. My periods have nearly completely stopped, minus the occasional day of light bleeding. I do still get some pre-period symptoms such as a few spots but this was normal for me pre-coil. 

Overall I feel completely like myself, which is not something I could say for all of the pills I tried before getting the coil! 

The biggest improvement however has been in my migraines. I've always suffered from bad migraines in the lead up to my period and since having the coil I rarely get them. When I do they are much weaker and much more manageable. 

Overall I'd really recommend getting the coil, I was genuinely at the end of the road with various contraception methods and so unhappy with how much of an impact various pills had on my skin, body, mind/mood, so to now have an effective method of contraception that has not only reduced my periods and migraines but has allowed me to carry on feeling like myself, is a game changer!

My doctor suggested this as it is smaller than other brands but just as effective and I only wish I had it sooner. I had some spotting for the first 3 months or so and now after a couple of years I rarely get spotting and no periods. No other side effects and the horrible hormonal headaches I used to get have completely stopped.

I had spotting for the first 3 months with random intense cramps. I’m on month 5 now and I rarely get cramps. I have a normal cycle with a period which is incredibly light which lasts around 5 days. I get a few spots before my period but that’s not unusual for me as I would get spots before I had kyleena. It hasn’t effected my mood massively, maybe a slight increase in pms.

I got this fitted last year as I was recommended it by my GP due to awful periods and mild endometriosis. Before I was on the progesterone only pill and hated every minute.
Getting it fitted was hell on earth, I’ve learnt since u can ask for pain relief, wish I knew!!! 
I couldnt stand on the way out back to the car park and fainted, the pain was awful for 24/36hrs like really bad cramps. Then I was fine, you don’t know the coil is there.
I was told I’d probably get no periods, however they had to use a kyleena instead of a mirena due to having a small, high sitting cervix. They had to place a pillow under my bum to see my cervix. 
The first period was a month after insertion snd was the heaviest I’ve ever had, so painful and lasted 10 days, the first 3 months periods were like this and they got lighter. By 6 months after insertion they were down to 5 days long and super light and painless, which I’m really happy with now. 
I’d 100% recommend this method. 
Just another note, for anyone who had a high cervix like me. I can’t find my strings and the nurse said I’ll probably never be able to but that’s fine, also my partner only felt the strings the first month after it was in and said it was fine didn’t hurt him or anything. Then the strings soften up and you don’t know they’re there, the nurse told me at the start they feel like the packaging satsumas come in which my boyfriend agreed is a good description. 
Make sure your partner is supportive on your contraception journey, it’s a joint decision! I actually wanted to coil more to manage my periods than for contraception. Get yourself a supportive partner! Xx

I was extremely apprehensive and nervous before the coil fitting appointment but it honestly couldn't have been a more positive experience. Before I even asked about using additional pain relief (I already took ibuprofen), the nurse told me that they used numbing cream as standard practice, which was a great relief. The fitting was a little uncomfortable - a slight period cramping sensation that lasted a few seconds - but completely fine. I was expecting to be in agony afterward, or a couple of days afterward, but I had no further pain. My body seemed to accept it without a problem. I have had the coil for nearly 4 months now, and for the first 2-3 months I had regular periods and a lot of spotting between periods with the occasional cramp. Now I have occasional spotting but my periods seem to have stopped now. Overall I am extremely happy with the coil so far - it is definitely worth it for me :). I have recently had the strings cut shorter because they left them quite long in the initial fitting.

love my IUS! my only complaint is that i have not had my period AT ALL since getting it 5 months ago. and that’s a little worrisome and not good for my anxiety but that is the only negative side effect for me!

So happy I chose Kyleena! I love that it is low in hormones and that the hormones do not go directly into your bloodstream. Manageable side effects compared to the pill for me. Happy with my decision.
