a question to all women with the marina coil fittied?

Question

i had the coil fitted about 3 weeks ago, i just want to see what u were like when u had it fitted.

i have been on a period for over a week now (which is not normal for me) and i get some really bad stomach pain. i read reports about it b4 i had it fitted, and most women said they wish they never had it fitted, i told them this at the hospital b4 i had it done and they said that this was not true and that all woman are different.

i would like other womans opinion on this coil, and if there are any other side effects relating to it.

thank you so much for giving me ur opinion and advice.

Answer 1

I've always used a coil as I don't like the idea of having hormones of unatural amounts floating through my body and with the marina coil, it's isolated to just the womb.
I bled too at first, and had irregular periods, but it's been nearly a year since I've had this 1 in, (i used the copper 1s before then took it out to have a baby) and I find it the best thing ever as i only get really light periods that hardly even require a pad or I don't get them at all.

Try stick with it, everyone is different, you should let your body try get used to it before you decide.

Good luck x

Answer 2

I had this fitted a few years ago and last year had it chnged as is req every 5 years. I had same prob as you at first, constant bleeding then it just stopped and my periods were normal. At first you can bleed for up to 6 months I was told. Two other women I know had it and were ok. 1 is like me and gets a very light period regular and the other never has any bleeding. Being in my mid 40's I was also told that it would help through the menopause. Lucky for me. If you are that concerned you can have it removed and alternate contraception can be used. I had it fitted cause like my friends suffered with terrible periods. Good luck

Answer 3

I've had the coil in for about 3 years now and it has changed my life. I have some spotting each month, but nothing like the floods from before. I did have quite a bit of bleeding at the start and it settled down after about a month if I remember rightly. I guess every woman will be different on it though. If you're worried after a couple of months, go back and visit your dr and tell him/her of your feelings about it. Good luck.

Answer 4

Although you might have some bleeding for a while, this should die down. I have had my coil in for 3 years and I have never looked back. I no longer have periods, any pmt or cramps. Stick with it - it is well worth it in the end.

Answer 5

ive had the coil for just under a year now and at first i bled for 2 weeks with horrible tummy pains but after that it got better and i even forget its there til it comes time to check it lol

Answer 6

I had the coild fitted and i had nothing but problems with it. I had constant pain, heavy bleeding and side effects worse than i ever did with the pill.

I had it removed because i just couldnt cope with it. Like everyone is different you gota be either mad or have a high pain threshold to have this fitted.

Answer 7

Answer 8

I have Mirena IUD and love it. No more painful heavy periods. I spot every month, but to me it is worth it.

Answer 9

It can cause some women nasty problems, but you need to let it setlle a bit before you judge if its going to be OK for you;
