While I was using the IUD, it was incredible because I had piece of mind and security. I wanted to use a non hormonal option and it did not affect me emotionally like the pill did. The process of getting it put in and out we’re uncomfortable but not painful. The anticipation was worse than the procedure. However after 8 years of using the copper coil (having changed it before the expiry date), I fell pregnant which was a massive shock and disappointment. It’s still unsure whether this was because of it being moved down or due to poor placement. After this, I am unsure what option to use next.

It’s hard to tell as I recently stopped taking the contraception.
