I previously had the mirena (for years) with awful side effects so decided to change to the copper coil. Yes I knew my periods were likely to get heavier, longer and more painful, but I'm on the second day of period 3 now and feel utterly horrendous. The pain is indescribable, it's so heavy I feel like I'm literally bleeding to death and it's bound to last for at least another 8-9 days...
Is it likely to get better over time? I'd forgotten how debilitating heavy periods are and really don't know if I can carry on like this. I have 3 kids and work 32 hours a week - no chance of having time off from either. I've no idea what to do about contraception now though, seem to have exhausted every option
