Mirena
Sex God
The whole coil thing makes me want to cross my legs. I've never heard anything good about them to be honest so it's not something I would consider. The thought of having something inside me doesn't fill me with anything other than shudders. By "inside me" I mean up there... I have an implant in my arm and that's okay.

I thought that but I was wrong. Took me ages to agree to have the damned thing inside me but I was running out of options. I was desperate to reduce me female problems and the Mirena was my next option.
I kept thinking I would try it for 6 months and then have it removed. Then the doctors would be happy that I had tried it. Only thing is, that was over 2 years ago :lol2:
It has reduced my periods from 21/22 days to 5/6 days and I know when to expect them which is a first!
Even the flow is less and I don't have to get up twice a night to change!
Sadly there is one big downfall, PMT. I never suffered before the Mirena, not once but because it effects the hormones too, its mean. At least I am aware of it and i can come with a warning but it is something that I would think long and hard about
I tried the Mirena after other options failed but I had to have it removed. It did nothing to reduce my periods and the pain I had was the worst ever.
That said, I know more women who have benefitted greatly from having it and I'm sadly one of the minority for whom it didn't work.
Give it a try and good luck! :thumbup:

and then Ian spilling ink all over the carpet :giggle:
i have this coil fitted,
i had tried the pill,varies different types and two children later i decided i didnt want to risk the pill,trie dthe injection and put on 4 stone in the 2 years i as taking it.
decided after convo with practice nurse to go fo this coil.
omg it hurt going in, but it was over in about 3 mins, then i had the most amazing ache for about 12 hours, but nothing a few ibuprofen and a hot water bottle didnt sort out.
i would say give it a month or two before you make a desision to have it removed. ive had mine in for over 4 years and its has been really fantastic, no periods since about the 4th month.
i would have liked tobe sterilized but no doctor would do it. ive tried several times over the years.
good luck with it and remember to check the strings every month

I had one for 11 years (well,not the same one obviously! ). As a contraceptive it's obviously brilliant as it has the same reliability as being sterilised so I never had to think about it or remember to take a pill etc. My periods all but disappeared - a definite plus.
I gained a lot of weight over the years I used mirena but how much of that can be attributed to the coil itself is debatable. All I know is that in the year since I've had it removed (Pom had the snip), I haven't had the wild mood swings or weight gains.
It does hurt having it inserted - I won't lie - but an experienced doctor will have it over and done with in less than a minute. I'd advise having it done by a family planning doctor who's well practiced. My second one was put in by a GP who was new to it and it took half an hour - giving birth was easier!
As others have said, if you decide to go ahead then give it a couple of months to settle down before deciding whether to keep it in.
Good luck with whatever you decide

I have had a mirena for over 2 years and its fantastic. No periods but occasional spotting, but compaired to what i had b4 its amazing. It took 2 min to put in, (better than the dentist) and 6 months to settle down. I dont have pmt or weight gain with it and would kill a doc that tried to remove it. Says it all really.
I had the mirena fitted after being promised it would sort my problem periods .... 
Never believe anyone who promises anything!!!
It hurt going in for about a minute, after that it was just uncomfortable for a few days!
I bled however, every day for 6 months
:x Was worse than my periods ever were!!!
Hurt like a b*itch coming out as well, to the point I almost passed out
I also got paranoid about losing the threads.
I've got friends though, who swear by their's and wouldn't consider anything else!

i have had the marina for 18 months now and its the best thing ever for me ... no periods ... no pmt ... no weightgain .. in fact the only problem i have is that it is not longer than 5 years
having it inserted by someone that knows what they are doing uis vital tho and it did take about 3 months to settle down for me but the benifits far outweigh the downfalls
whatever you decide to do i hope it works out for you

J here. I had this fitted 3 years ago as I am not allowed to use the pill and I had problems with my period. Apart from being difficult to put in and a couple of days ache it has been the best thing ever.

Nooo.. don't be!, you'll love not having the dreaded monthly's once you've settled down on it. I won't lie, it's not the nicest having it in, but once it's in it's there for 5 years (other types 10 years!).

Please dont be put off evn though things are erratic and its only been 3 weeks its far better that what I was going through. as i had a hysteroscopy and biopsies done at the same time i cant tell what it was like having it fitted as the biopsies were awful.
Looking forward

Totally agree with mids, she tops it nicely.....................twas a pain to have it installed but had it in now 2yrs & i have no intention ov lookin back...............well untill i have to have it re-newed
I had one in for 4 years and after the intitial discomfort of having it put in, and a couple of days of aches it was fabulous.
I hardly had a period during that time . Then it suddenly dislodged itself - no idea why - so I had it removed, and didn't fancy another - lost my confidence in it a little.
It didn't hurt at all having it removed.
