Hi ladies!

Just wanting some advice (trying to stay away from google!)

I had the coil fitted yesterday morning, and the doctor said pains are normal for a while but shouldnt get any worst.

Just wondering if any ladies have had it an still having bad pains 24+ hours after?

Im taking painkillers and got a hotwater bottles etc. Im just rubbish being in pain!

I had a copper one fitted and had mild cramps for a couple of days.

I wouldn't worry unless the pain is really severe or it lasts more than a few days

I bled for 12 weeks solid when I had one so had it removed

They don't suit everyone

Yes definitely can be like mild period pain for a few days (I get really painful cramping usually) but definitely worth it once that’s over!!

I think it varies from woman to woman.. and your pain threshold.

Out of 10 where is your pain at?

Oo err Devon

This is my third after having a break and it's taken longer to settle this time... I was a little uncomfortable for a day or two after as I had a period almost straight away.. But been great since. But always worth calling your surgery in the mor I g to speak with a nurse if poss.

My 22 yr old daughter had one fitted whilst in surgery for endometriosis treatment. 4 weeks later she’s still bleeding and has mild cramps. Surgeon did tell her is can take a couple of months to be completely settled

I've had coils, both copper and mirena,dound the food old fashioned copper coil the best,again like the other women have said mild period pains for a few days and then nothing....it worked great...they did take a few months to settle into my body tho and for them to do what they should of.... I.e less painful periods,lighter flow,didnt last weeks on end and of course protection from in wanted pregnancy was instant...good luck, just please rem_mber to check your threads after your period...and if your sexual partner gets pricked in the head the threads are either to short or they need trimming.

I've got one. When I had mine fitted I had a little spotting and mild pain I think.

I havent had a full period since it was fitted 3 years ago though.

With my first one was a copper one and I had horrendous cramping for the first two days. Worse than periods. Then it just suddenly stopped and I was fine. I had it swapped for a mirena one after a couple of years and I was dreading the pain but it wasn't anywhere near as bad. I just felt a bit delicate for a few days. I found the mirena great other than it randomly coming out on its own 2 years in. Apparently that's not very common though.

I felt like I pulled a muscle in my hip that twinged for a few days but no cramping at all. After it was in I felt nothing.

A friend of mine was in agony for about a week after she had hers fitted. She had really bad cramping. I’d give it a few more days and if you’re not sure, maybe go back in and speak to someone. We’re all different so it’s not a ‘one size fits all’ answer which isn’t very helpful x

I had period type pain for a couple of days. I hope it gets better soon And if it doesn't go see the practice nurse they tend to know far more than GPs about coils.

Hugs for crappy pain

Can you find me….

I had a merina coil fitted in hospital, I have spotting for a few days and period pain cramping. Had spotting on and off for 6 months but nothing major, then nothing.

I’m happy with my coil..... though I know friends who have tried and didn’t like! Just down to your body I guess.

All the best x

Mine took 6 months to settle down completely, though I do have some funky side effects though, my hair growth has accelerated lots with it

Eeek rem_mber those days well. I have the copper IUD. Thinking about it, it will need replacing soon as I’ll have had it 5 years soon. Not looking forward to that day. Glad you are feeling a bit better today

Obviously check your specific brand but most copper coils last 10 years

Can take several days to settle but in my opinion worth it for 5 years period and period pain free xxx

Ive had the mirena coil fitted every 5 years since i was in my 20's (now 46) every time it takes a good 2-3 days to settle down. Bear with it it will be worth it x

Pretty much as others have said, everyone is different, I've heard some horror stories. I bled for 16 weeks with awful cramps for a week but nearly 2 years later the periods are so much more bearable. The slight bleed after rough sex isn't pleasant but only lasts a couple days. Hope your cramps fade soon x

Every woman is different,myself I bleed for 6weeks solid had awful cramps and back pains, headaches,mood swings but after that settled back down....although my coil now is low down and tilted....either from my body trying to expel it or it wasn't put in right in the first place....good luck.xxx
