Copper Coil

[Chellybelly1982]

Hi,

I'm not sure if I'm doing this right but I need some advice please!!?

I've read previous comments about the copper coil and I do have some of the side effects, loss of sex drive, bloated, heavy periods, even thrush on a regular basis.

I've had the coil for well over a year now but have noticed recently a discharge and even a copper odour... Is this normal?

Any advice would be welcomed as I'm considering having it removed, as I just don't feel happy happy and constantly emotional plus all other side effects ??,but not sure what to turn to next as I've tried the pill, combined pill, jabs??

Thank you

I don't know what the answer is. I had a copper coil put in three months ago, and alough I don't get loads of side effects, the ones I do get - super-heavy periods and lots of discharge - really bother me. I've never got on with hormonal contraception and I've got additional health concerns to consider too. I can't see anything other than abstinence, condoms or DH having the snip, which he doesn't want to do.

Thanks Beccajoh, went to the dr and she was in agreement with me that it's time to have the coil removed, so having it done in the 29th and I can't wait!!

Hi mumsnetters,

I wonder if any of you could help?
I've been on Cerazette for nearly 2 years. Everything's been great on it; light periods, easy weight management, normal moods, no breast pain etc. However, in the last 5 months everything's changed my boobs have grown and are in agony each month, I'm bleeding every 2 weeks for a week at a time, and I'm feeling elation and extreme happiness followed up extreme anxiety and feelings of lethargy/miserable and lack of confidence. It's shit!
Has anyone else ever experienced such a dramatic change in side affects after a few years on this pill? I'm shocked as it seemed like the perfect pill for the first year or so!
Thanks for your help xx
