Copper coil (IUD)

It wasn’t very pleasant having the coil put in (though not terrible and I rejected the anaesthetic) and I had cramps for a couple of days. My first period after it was fitted was extremely heavy and I was worried I wouldn’t carry on if it stayed like that, however now my periods are totally back to normal. I did have a brown tint to my discharge for a few months too. However I can’t recommend the coil enough as now it’s settled down I don’t know it’s there, my sex drive is up (it was definitely down on the pill) and I don’t need to worry about contraception for the next decade! And a further plus is my husband doesn’t notice it either. Really excellent result!
