I've had my coil just over a year. I had depression before, but since I've had the coil I seem to have gone rapidly downhill (whole days where I can do nothing except lie under my duvet playing candy crush).
Also I'm so tired all the time. I can rarely get through a day without having a nap at some point. I'm an otherwise healthy 35 year old, surely that's not right?
And my periods are a pain in the arse. I was looking forward to them stopping when I got the coil, but no such luck. Now, instead of 3 days, they last for 8 days. Which is a long time when you only have a 24 day cycle. My periods are very light now, but they just seem to go on forever.
I'm tempted to have it removed and get sterilised, as I don't really want any stronger hormonal contraception, and condoms are a pain. Seems maybe a bit extreme though! Has anyone else had tiredness and depression after getting a coil?
