Mirena

The fitting was horrendous. Took 2 appointments, many different sizes of speculum because the (experienced) fitter couldn’t find my cervix, and when it was finally fitted I passed out from the pain. Otherwise mostly a positive experience and I’ve had it in place for 4.5years, and prefer it in general to the combined pill that I took for 8 years beforehand. I have started to notice PMS symptoms including bad moods, and increased migraines. I have also developed dizziness although this may not be related to the mirena coil and is being investigated. I’m dreading having it replaced, but can’t cope with the increasingly worse PMS.
