I want my coil out tomorrow (got it in today)

[whyisiikethis]

Hi all,

MNHQ please feel free to move thread if this isn't the right place.

I had my Minera coil in today to help with my periods but I had no idea a) how much it would hurt both at the time and after, I hobbled out of the room and cried most of the evening, felt very ill afterwards etc. B), I had no idea how invasive it would feel in terms of mental health- I've been assaulted before and I've found this very triggering. I know the physical pain/bleeding will die down but I cannot stand the way it's triggering my mental health, I very nearly went in after and asked for them to remove it but they were so nice and I thought it might just be my immediate reaction; it wasn't, I've had panic attacks all evening and I can't fall asleep. Aibu to ask for it to be removed asap, even if that's next week? I've never felt this way before (this intensely) but I know that I won't come around and that it's severely affecting my mental health. I'm so tempted to try and remove it myself but I can't bring myself to do it. TIA.

Tilted uterus and extremely painful to get in, ended up going to the hospital for it to be inserted and discomfort for a few days but life changing period-wise. They were debilitating and now I don’t have them.

My gynae says that, in her experience, women with adenomyosis are more likely to have extreme pain (annoyingly as the mirena can be used as a treatment for adenomyosis). That's just her experience from her own work though, not a proper study.

Agree that more needs to be done on this- there's a tendency to dismiss women's pain that doesn't fit what doctors are told is normal as being all in the mind.
