Emergency copper coil removal

[canderella]

Hey guys had the copper coil inserted in emergency two weeks ago but I hate it cause I keep heavy spotting and don't know what's going. I have two queries- anyone who has had an emergency coil have you ever had it removed before your next period? And b) those who have had one removed does the spotting go away right away?

Hey! It messes your cycle right up so I don’t think it will matter when you get it removed. I don’t think they will class removal as an “emergency” though. They will try to get you to keep it in for at least a year. And no - I had mine removed on the 2nd of October and the bleeding continued solidly until January. It’s still on and off now, more on than off but around the 50% mark. I do think these things are an awful idea as emergency contraception. They really need to be thought about for a long time as they can have a huge impact on your life/future. I hope you manage to get it sorted out though, best of luck
