I loved the coil for the first two years. It initially made my period a bit heavier and I had slightly worse cramps but all in all felt great. The last 8 months though have been completely different. Suddenly I'm having more painful cramping than I've ever experienced before nearly every day of the month. It's often debilitating and sometimes I have to take time off work because of it as paracetamol can't take the edge off the pain. Ovulation pains in particular are crippling for me at the moment and I get shooting pains down my legs and up my back and a sharp stabbing feeling in my abdomen. I had the placement checked and my ovaries scanned and was told everything looked fine and dandy but I can't deal with the pain any longer so I've booked to get it taken out.
