I had the copper coil inserted 2 months ago and have had a very positive experience since. I was on the combined pill for two years which resulted in mood swings and a very low libido. I put off getting the copper coil as I had heard horror stories about the pain that could come with it, but I wish I'd done it sooner! The insertion pain lasted no more than ten seconds and was very much manageable. After that I had maybe 2-3 days of some cramping which I took painkiller for. Overall, I would recommend other women to not be put off by the bad experiences of others. Mine was a highly positive one and everyone has different experiences.

Been on this pill for a few years and absolutely loving it. I’ve previously been on a different pill and had the implant both of which I felt made me crazy. This one makes me feel the most myself I don’t have a fault to say about it at all!
