"I've had one before. It hurt a little bit getting it fitted, but I went straight back to work afterwards with just a bit of light cramping - and supposedly it was worse for me because I've never had children. It took a few months for the bleeding (never more than light spotting) to settle down and stop altogether and then there wasn't any more at all. I think it affected my skin, but I'm very susceptible to breakouts from hormonal contraceptives of any kind anyway and it did settle down too. Unfortunately, my husband, who is quite big, said he could feel the strings poking the end of his knob, and really didn't like it. That's apparently rare though. So there's positives and negatives - but overall I'd recommend giving one a try. " ive never had children either so they had to dilate my cervix to put it in place. ive not had a proper period since april when i had the implant removed. fingers crossed they dont flare up again x | |||

"I had one for 3.5 years and tbh I couldn't get on with it at all, I was constantly paranoid that any partner would be able to feel it as it sat quite low and was always quite uncomfortable. My doctor never cut the cords short enough either and when I asked for it to be removed the cords were tangled and embedded in my womb wall " not nice. im hoping my husband doesnt feel it either. i feel like a virgin all over again waiting to try sex for the first time lol. x | |||

I also got very depressed on it so had it removed after 3 months. My experience isn't typical, but the HCP's would have you believe that the hormones only affect your reproductive organs without entering the blood stream. As my depression disappeared immediately after having the coil removed, and my fuzziness returned to normal, I would say their claims are not accurate. | |||

"I had a mirena fitted at the beginning of march. I bled on the day it was fitted and had some cramps but it was less painful than a period. I waited 48 hours before having sex and neither of us could feel it or had any discomfort. All was great until i got my period about 10 days later. I had a very, very heavy period and awful cramps. I bled heavily for 2 weeks and then spotting for the other 2 weeks. Next period just the same It settled down after about 4 months but i do still get very occasional spotting. I'm very happy with it now. I used to be anaemic because my periods were so heavy but now they only last 4 days and are much lighter. I used to use the biggest tampons i could find and now i have the smallest " fingers crossed for you they may just stop altogether soon xx | |||

"can anyone tell me their experiences with the mirena coil. how soon after having it fitted did you have sex? did it hurt? could your partner feel it? did you bleed afterwards? ive just had it fitted today and wondered how soon is too soon to carry on with sex. obviously not tonight lol. any advice is more than welcome. " Simple Abstinence for Me Now though I was on the Pill for a Year then the Contraceptive Depo for Four Year's ! | |||

"I'm on my second one, cramps stopped on the day it was fitted both times. As did the bleeding. Nobody has ever felt the tails but the tails did go up into my cervix and I had to get the first one removed and replaced at the hospital by the gynaecologist. Best thing I ever did but my doctor has said this is my last one as he thinks I dont need it any more." brilliant, hope its the same for me. i got a bad cramp when she was inserting it. bit of a bleed but all seems well now and its only 12 hours since i had it fitted. alls looking good so far x | |||

"I would highly recommend it. I'd been sterilised years before but due to heavy periods got a Mirena fitted. Took 3 or 4 months - but then all was good. May be an age thing as I was older when I got mine. And might depend on why you want it fitted Mine should have come out after 5 years - I got round to getting it out after 10. Saw me right through the menopause to with not a problem apart from the odd hot flush Never had a partner in all those years that could feel the strings" i will be nearly 52 when its due to come out but can have it replaced for another 5 years if im not on the menopause by then x | |||

How was it for you? X" I was sterilized last October and it was fine. I had the old-school tube cut and clamp as I'm allergic to the nickel in the esure one. I was a little tender for about 10 days but that was it. Sooooo much less bother than the mirena! | |||

"There are always for & againsts so read between the lines to get an overall picture. For me the for was - contraception for 5 years & it's apparently good for women in their 40's, hormone wise & virtually no periods either. The against ~ the pain was awful, my body went into a false labour trying to get rid of the coil, lasted for approx 12 hours, not particularly common but can happen. Took about 6 months to settle down bleeding wise. I put a lot of bleeding issues I had later on after sex down to the coil as I think it became dislodged. I had it removed this year & couldn't bear to have another one fitted so am now on Cerazette which suits me better. If you have multiple partners I was advised by the clinic to keep the strings short as it can make you prone to infection. How true that is I'm am unsure." ouch, that was a bad experience | |||

You always tend to hear the bad stories over the good and they stick in your head. Mine was a little painful when put it (sharp pain) and I did have cramping for a few weeks but absolutely no problems since then | |||

I had a really bad reaction to Cerazette though, (a progesterone pill), which has made me even more nervous. I know I can have it taken out again but it will be a hassle. If I have another reaction like on Cerazette... It doesn't bear thinking about. | |||

"After 3 Copper Ts - I've got my third Mirena - and very happy with it. The first Mirena - bleeding was lighter than a normal period for about three months - and then NOOOOOOOO periods ever since! Easy removal and fitting of second and third in the last ten years. And never had anyone mention feeling the strings! Doc says he won't recommend a Fourth due to my age - but I may have to twist his arm as I like being period-free!" | |||

Hi chick, sorry hadn't realised you asked, yeah it's been brilliant, I have 3 little ones, and I had previously had the mirena before my last duckling, after she was born we knew that we were complete as a family, so it seemed a great option, I was in as a day patient and it's done within an hour, had a little cramping after but strong painkillers worked for that and within a few days I was all back to normal, it's all keyhole so you barely notice you've had it done, the worst bit was that they fill you full of air and the pain in my shoulders whilst waiting for it to disperse was dreadful, but lots of peppermint tea and walking up and down stairs helped, I'd recommend it to anyone, i usually forget I've even had it done hope this helps but never worry about sending a pm if you want to chat about it, Mrs blue eyes | |||

"I had it and it fell out last year, bled Luke a fucker for months but they made me wait 6m. Bled on and off constantly and my Ex could feel it even though they cut the strings really short and he wasn't huge. Couldn't ever be fisted either which I love. Made my bleeding very very clotty too and I was so miserable because I never knew when I was gonna bleed" | |||

"I've had mine nearly 4 years, spotted a lot to start with but then stopped. Now though I have really light periods again but they think it's because it's nearing the end of its life span. I'll have another one put in, as I never got on with oral contraceptives. They really effected my skin but the coil has been ok. Never had anyone say can feel the strings. I was very cautious to start with and had some side pain too but it all settled fairly quickly. It's been good for me. Sarah " | |||
