Anyone got a Intrauterine device (IUD) fitted.
Jump to: Newest in thread
Stick with it.
I had my original one fitted, not for contraception but due to a ridiculously irregular & heavy cycle, that could leave me unable to leave the house for days.
First couple of months was iffy, but after that.. Brilliant.
I'm on my 3rd now, each change can again be a bit hit & miss, but worth it once the hormones settle down.
I rarely get periods, if I do they last less than 24hrs and are so light.

I've had the mirena coil for 3 years now.
It did take a long time for mine to settle down, about 9 months but it was worth persevering with it.
Before the coil I had very heavy, painful and long periods and was anaemic. I'm not one of the lucky ones who's periods stopped completely but they are so much better now. They only last 3-4 days and are very light - more like spotting than a proper period. I'm not anaemic anymore either  |

I've got Mirena coil fitted, have to say it was the best decision ever. It's working very well for me, only get some spotting on about monthly basis, for around 24h. And when it was fitted, I bled for about 2 weeks (not usual heavy period but still more bleeding than spotting), and that was it. As said earlier, only get occasional spotting.
Fingers crossed it will work well for you, OP. |
