Any of the ladies on here have one?
I've been recommended to have one by the clinic as I'm not on any form of contraception and I've had a few mishaps.
But I'm so apprehensive about it. |

I had one for a while as I didn’t want any form of hormonal contraception.
I found it made my periods heavier, more painful and they lasted longer too. Having it removed was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made |

I've refused the coil numerous times. Currently having a monthly injection & hrt pending a hysterectomy though.
Do you need contraception other than condoms? If not, why fill your body with unnecessary hormones?

I don't want hormones 
That's why I was considering the copper coil
And I've had a few slip ups where condoms have ripped etc which is making me really wary of relying solely on them |

I've never had any trouble with mine. Have the occasional heavier period. Much more reliable than condoms in my experience. Try it maybe, if you don't get on with it after a few months have it removed. |

If I had to have a coil it would be Mirena but obviously full of bloody hormones. I don't know what else to suggest. I can't have oestrogen so am very limited. As are your options Being a woman is crap sometimes |

"I bled all the time.
Having my tubes clipped was the best thing I did!"
That was the same as P but while down there they did a bit of laser work and she's not had a proper period since (about 5 years now) but she still gets a bit of pmt. |
