Posting here for traffic!

I'm getting a coil put in by my GP tomorrow and have terrified myself by reading all the horror stories so can we please have a thread of positive stories?
I'd love to hear from people who've had it inserted without any problems. Entirely uneventful accounts would be nice 😊

I’ve had one (well several!) since 1999!

I had it removed to try for a baby and got pregnant immediately, then had another inserted at 6 week post birth check.

Now using it as part of HRT, along with patches.

Ive never had breakthrough bleeding

Hi ladies,

Another positive insertion story from me, barely any discomfort (and I was tense and nervous) and just a bit crampy for a few days after.
I had it put in just over a month ago though and I'm still getting annoying spotting. TMI but like brown mucousy stuff, occasional bits of bright red bleeding. Just requiring a pantyliner but very annoying When will this stop?

Also, been having a few horrible headaches-almost migraine last week or so following first period and now horrible vertigo. That's not likely to be the Mirena, is it?
