Horrific. Gynacologist suggested Mirena coil for heavy periods and bad PMS as couldn't take Pill due to hormone sensitivity. Coil fine at fitting, very strong stomach pain which was to be expected. However it felt like my kidneys had been punched due to pain. The back pain was so severe it went all the way down my legs and I couldn't sit/ stnd or lie down without wincing. After 7 days I had coil removed, I was told it had dropped down. Three months later I am still recieving physio to alleviate back pain cause muscule trauma from the coil.

Having it put in was, in all honesty, excruciating. But then I was refused pain relief beforehand. Pain continued to be horrendous for over 2 weeks. Called doctor multiple times during this time but as my temperature was normal they said “it would settle”. Ongoing pain/discomfort for first 2 months (made endo symptoms worse, particularly bladder pain). On month 4 now, still experiencing the same pain during ovulation/period as before but with very light flow, mainly spotting that occurs throughout the month. Constant cystitis symptoms. Sex more painful than before (when I even feel up for it, my drive has disappeared) Giving it one more month before asking for it to be removed.

I had the coil fitted as an alternative to the pill. The fitting of the coil was the most painful experience I have ever had (i must note my friend had it fitted same time as I did she experienced no pain) I almost passed out due to the pain experienced, and I have a high pain threshold. I then experienced pain every day for 1 year, I was advised that the coil would settle over time and I needed to give it a year, I was told it was not an option to have it removed until 1 year. I continued to experience pain for 1 year until the day they agreed to take it out, this was after an ultrasound, where they told me I have the smallest uterus they had ever seen, it was very embarrassing. I fought for 1 whole year to have it removed. Worst year if my life, a year spent taking pain killers and using hot water bottles to get through the day. Obviously it works for many, my friend got on very well with the coil.
