I suffer from low moods very often and definitely have not felt like myself for a long while and it has correlated with since I had this coil put in.

I bled for 6 months after the very painful insertion. My period then stopped for 5 months, and I was bleeding heavily for the last 3 months. However, I did not gain weight, get acne or have any changes to my mood. Shame about the bleeding because it would've been perfect!

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.
