Experience

It helped a lot with my periods as they were previously unbelievably heavy, however, the hormones really affected my mental health. My emotions were like a rollercoaster – either super happy or super low, so I got it taken out and I now know I can’t do hormones at all. I think its a perfect method for people who don’t react to hormones.

Experience after taking

My periods are now very normal and light, it was a huge help in sorting out my periods. I was much happier and now am thinking of having the copper coil fitted because I don’t know what else to do as i know I can’t do hormones.
