I’m basically just asking for contraception advise

[Aaaaliya]

I have a reteroverted uterus has anyone had this and got a coil, I heard it can be trickier? I really like the idea of it bc either no or low hormones? If you’ve had it which one did you get? Also I have a 4 month old, how soon did you wait after giving birth to get one? thanks x

Basically I’m not allowed the combined pill due to migraines and family death from blood clots, and I don’t want the implant bc either way they have to ‘cut’it out. I currently use micro or but it has a 3 hr window as I hate cerazette/zeletta

Having a retroverted uterus is very common and no barrier to having a coil. Its might make insertion slightly trickier but not always, and not for an experienced coil fitter.

If your baby is 4 months old you can get a coil fitted at any time if there's no chance of pregnancy. It can be easier to have it fitted whilst on your period. Most women choose the Mirena which has some progesterone in it as it's good at controlling bleeding, and periods are usually lighter or nonexistent.

(I'm a CASH nurse).

Mine is retroverted, I’m on coil number 3. Never been an issue

Thanks, I read some where it would make it more likely to perforate (sp?) the uterus. Do most people prefer copper/minera I also heard that there’s a new one called skyla which is even lower hormone than minera.

Similar situation womb wise here and I have a coil.
Pros: don't have to think about contraception, no periods (or very scant).
Cons: possibly having side effects but it's possibly not the coil. I can't tell, and doctors are so evangelical about it they're sure it's not that.

Skyla is available in the UK as Jaydess. It has a slightly lower level of hormone and so women are more likely to have 'normal' periods than they are with Mirena. It lasts for 3 years, whereas Mirena is 5 years.

We don't fit Jaydess routinely where I work.

I have Jaydess. My uterus was too small for Mirena. No periods no problems except my skin is slightly spotty at the moment but that could be other things

I have a copper IUD as I'm not keen on hormonal birth control anymore after bad experiences. I like that it's up there and I don't have to think about my birth control in the heat of the moment although I was reliable with the pill (I am a diaphragm-fail baby). The downside is a grotty period but I feel as close to natural cycle wise as possible. We don't do condoms (although DP would if we needed to) and as we are 20s and childless and both want dc together or with others eventually vasectomy- or me being sterilized- is not an option.
