MM, I feel your pain! Nod

I recently opted for the coil due to being a smoker and over 35...I changed to the mini pill but it didn't agree with me (apparently, the pill I was originally on runs a higher risk of cervical cancer & blood clots).

Oh how I long for the 2 day periods back that I had when I was on the pill...I had forgotten just how bad period pains were....I can't stop my period when I go away now either by taking the pill straight through!!!

Hopefully, it'll settle down in a few months and my period will become lighter Thumbs Up

On the plus side, I have lost a few pounds, and less headaches...

BTW, anyone considering the coil...it bloody hurts having it inserted!!!! Nod

On a similar note i wouldn';t recommend the injection... all great and good while i was on it didn't get periods only had to go every 3 months and get it ...but when i came of it... 4 months down the line i got a period THAT LASTED FOR 3 MONTHS Disappointed

Eeker I weighed up the pros & cons and hopefully made the right decision! I considered the injection but decided as It couldn't be 'taken away' if it disagreed with me that it was no good for me......

..I also considered the implant, but I'm too squeamish....

3 months!!! OMG! How rotten...Valentine

Oh MM....not a thought to relish at all...I have a check up on Monday, hopefully it's not moved and that'll be it for 5 years...

How long does the implant stay in for? Can you see it under your skin....**shudders** Big Grin

You know? That sort of thing.
The rest of it seems, as Marx would have said, a piece of piss.



I applaud your comments Clapping

has it moved? or could it be faulty cause they are supposed to last for 3 yrs. But because some docs only do a couple a yr it makes me wonder if they keep up to date with training etc

Oh Eeker I'd hate to see it move around...Shake Head

I'll prob get a new one fitted if they have to remove it, but no problems that I'm aware of so far Thumbs Up

May you have a short and painfree period MM, enjoy Florida you lucky girl...Valentine

Mine for hurt about a nanosecond (very sore nanosecond) and I keep recomending it to everyone Thumbs Up I've also had one removed and not much worse than getting it in. It's like someone pinched you from the inside Ninja Was yours very sore MoFo? I've got friends who have it in and they say the same, very quick nip but worth the no periods in the end up.

MM....you can go ask the doc to prescribe a pill that will stop the period in it's tracks.

D.I.D. Hug You have my sympathy. When my lady Doc. inserted mine, I promptly threw up all over her and everywhere!After a few months, I had 'labour' pains, and it came out!That was a lot of years ago, so maybe they have changed it now, I don't know. Glance

It felt like they were ripping my womb out with a fishing rod!

I kept screaming STOP STOP I'VE CHANGED MY MIND....NO KEEP GOING JUST GET IT OVER WITH... NO STOP I'VE CHANGED MY MIND. Eeker

They would have been quicker if I'd just shut the hell up really. Roll Eyes
