Answer 1

I had a coil fitted, got pregnant and it was very painful all through.

It got trapped against the uterus wall and the afterbirth formed round it.

It was inside the placenta at the birth, the nurse broke it open to reveal it. She said it could have been inside the baby. No one had believed me when I said it had gone up inside me, even twenty-four hours in hospital in much pain, did not convince them.

I haemorrhageda few hours after birth and needed surgery to stop the bleeding where it had ripped away from the wall of the uterus at birth.

They'd said that I'd passed the coil whilst urinating without noticing. And all through the pregnancy, no one listened to me about the pain I was enduring. I couldn't even stand or sit properly because kept getting stuck halfway with pain on movement, and had to scream to a canvasser at my door to call emergency services at eight months.

She was my fifth child, I was no novice, nor coward. Was I glad when that pregnancy was over!

I told the nurse to sterilise the coil, so I could give it to my daughter when she grew up. She was given the coil when she left home, still has it, she is now thirty-seven and a mother herself.

I got pregant on the pill as well in 1965. Also, when using suppositories and durex. Nothing worked for me, the good Lord meant my children to be born.

A ring they fitted, to try and 'straighen up' a tilted womb, put me into labour pains whilst not even pregnant, and needed emergency treatment to remove it, with the doctor warning me never to have one fitted again.

They said at size eight, just five foot tall, weighing seven stone two pounds, with a tilted womb, I might have difficulty conceiving (ha ha ha, six children later) and giving birth might mean surgery..

Well I did it all myself the normal way, though I had seriously long labours, all ranging from between 37-66hours, but both sons did the job themselves according to the book, and my four girls had to be induced. All my children were born healthy and weighed in between 7lb 2oz and 8lb 8oz... not bad for a runt like me!

Never mind the experts. They don't know anything themselves for sure, not then, not now, not ever. You are the expert of your body! If it hurts, or makes you bleed, take it out. If it works then I'm glad for you:-)

Answer 2

As far as I know, you can still ovulate when you have the coil. It just makes the lining of the womb less able for the fertilised egg to implant. Therefore you can still get pregnant.

Answer 3

The coil does not stop your egg from being fertilized. What it does is stop the egg attaching to the wall of your womb. And as it never implants, it comes out with your normal period. So, in actual fact, you are still fertilizing eggs, you're just not carrying them.

Answer 4

You should talk to you doctor about this. People on here tend to give wrong answers frequently, either because they don't know or because they are mean. The only way to be safe is to talk to your doctor.

Answer 5

No contraceptive is 100% sucessful, you can get pregnant no matter what type you are using, so if you are worried, see your doctor

Answer 6

Yup, you have a 5% chance of getting pregnant.

Answer 7

i would go see my doctor if i were you, this seems like a question that should be answered by a proffessional. otherwise you're going to get a bunch of random answers that are all half baked, you know?
