Hi there,
I had the copper coil fitted in April. I had this done as I really didn't want an hormonal contraceptive. They really lower my libido and after the birth of my second DC I had really bad anxiety and just didn't want to risk any further anxiety.
For a while I was not pregnant, breastfeeding or using contraception and for the first time in ages I felt like 'me'.
Then I had the copper coil fitted.
Every month about a week before my period is due I get really bad stomach pains. These are not period pains. I get bloated and constapated and generally feel unwell. It can get so bad I really can not walk properly. This has never happened prior to the coil being fitted.
I am more concerned however about my mood.
I get really bad mood swings and get so angry.
I am also getting quite bad anxiety again.
I just don't feel like me and feel it is since the coil was fitted - but as I have the copper coil I don't know if it can be done to that.
I am going to go to the family planning place and discuss it. If they told me I had actually had the mirena coil I wouldn't be surprised.
Thanks
