I have made an appointment to have a copper coil fitted as hormonal contraceptives really don't suit me. I'm just a bit concerned about the effect it is going to have on my periods. Does anyone have a copper coil and not have nightmare periods?? Any reassurance would be appreciated!
Thanks.

X Posts - Timetosmile I did know that about the coil stopping the embryo bring implanted, I think I am comfortable with it...
Hadn't considered the pregnancy risks though

I have one, my periods are heavier (but not unmanageable) and still last about a week. I have a fibroid and I do get some spotting about a week before my eriod but I think that is not to do with the coil.
It is the right choice for me, I really really just can't do hormones any more.
You can have it taken out easy enough if you don't get on with it.

to hear first hand about carrie's experience. Getting pg would not be the end of the world for me, but after a few years if we decide that we are going for 'finality' I'd like DH to have the snip.
