Copper Coil - Pro's&Con's / Thoughts / Experiences

56 replies

So I went to the GP for more anti depressants and we got chatting about contraception.
I'm on Cerelle at the moment and although I'm 'doing all the right things' in terms of helping my depression/anxiety such as going to the gym, back on meds (after self harming quite bad) and whatever else but I still feel terrible, down and shitty.
The only other thing we haven't looked at is my contraception.
My GP recommended the copper coil but a few of my friends have had some really bad experiences such as one piercing her womb, the other ended up with lots of complications whether to do with the coil or whether it all happened at the same time.

I just feel really uncomfortable at the thought of it being there and I'm not a squeamish person but it does make me cringe a little bit.

Please help me and tell me loads of stories about it being like in a land of unicorns and clouds when having it fitted and all that shite jazz.

I really want to know if people have noticed there are positive outcomes in terms of depression/anxiety and any help would be much appreciated.

Well I'm nearly 42 weeks pregnant now Grin it was in 2015 I had it I think. My hair has never grown back but everything else got better pretty much as soon as I got it out.

I have had coil for 3 years now. Best thing ever. I was on cerazette before, that made me in to a all eating raging lunatic spotting all month long with no breaks. Have never had any issues with coil.

@Midnight0 I'm in cerrelle at the moment and I have noticed I get more spots that before. They're manageable though but I've never really had problems with my skin but I'd say it's the worst it's been since been on the pill

The night after I got it removed I slept so well, Dont know if it was a coincidence. My hair still falls out at a rediculous rate, I really don't know how I don't have bald patches. But in general I was much better after a few days.

@ifoundthebread oh that's good then! Maybe it just wasn't for you? Which I imagine it isn't right for quite a few people whether it's psychological or physical
