experience with this form of contraception please.

Weight gain? Acne? Sex drive? Periods? Mood swings?

Got one

Weight gain - but probably due to eating too much and exercising too little rather than the coil

No other symptoms
No periods

I have one.

No periods but I did have to wait about six months or more for the irregular bleeding to stop.

No weight gain, although I am sure I felt hungrier for a few months after it was inserted

Have one due for renewal. (I keep putting it off because I reckon it's still working and am a wuss). First six months had irregular but light bleeding, since then no periods and maybe 3 days of PMT. In six years. I love it.

I had one. No periods, no weight gain or other symptoms.

However.... had it removed 5 months ago to ttc and my cycles are all over the place! When they say your fertility comes back straight away, it's not true for everyone!
