Since having my Mirena coil fitted about 7 months ago I have been suffering from severe lower back pain. I am also getting migraines at around the time of my period each month and I seem to constantly hungry - do you think these thing could be related to my coil.

Hi @mumyes. just to check back in.
I am now almost 3 months post mirena insertion (and suffered with lower back pain constantly initially). The back pain went completely I would say about 2/3 weeks after my first post and now am getting on fine. I was told by a nurse practitioner (who fits them and had one herself) that the back pain is a settling in symptom for some some people, and to give it 4 months before deciding whether to stick with it or not. She said you really don’t know until then. People seem to fob off that back pain is associated, but I never had it before. Hopefully yours settles too.
