Kyleena coil and discomfort wearing contact lenses

Sex drive plummeted on this, plus I think it made doggy uncomfortable and even painful, never had that issue before! I also had breakthrough bleeding whenever I did have sex, although this was the only time I would bleed. I had more intense period cramps and sore breasts on this than I had on any other contraception (implant, combined pill and mini pill), and I'm so glad to have it gone! Absolutely horrific experience getting it in, and ended up getting it out by myself at home when the sexual health nurse didn't want to remove it. Thankfully it was barely even uncomfortable to remove (would still recommend going to a health professional to remove though just in case!).

After 4 years of having the Kyleena I got pregnant and so have had the coil removed. The main symptoms I struggled with throughout the 4 years were weight gain and lack of libido.

I've generally had a good time with Kyleena. No periods, although I had them with two Mirenas. Not a lot of negative effects, and my mood and libido seem increased, but this may be coincidental. Installation was horrendous, however. I had pain for a week and was so bloated that my pants didn't fit. I was surprised given that this is a smaller IUD.
