Coil - Please help

[fairydust]

Ihad the coil put in at the end of oct/beginning of nov - sorry this is discusting

i had a sort of persid a couple of days after having it put in.

I then started my period again on 20th december

i had a normalish period up until xmas eve

from then onwards i have bled really really bad - so bad i have had a couple of accidents with clothes and i'm having to change my pad every 45mins.

is this normal or should i be worried.

It has slowed down a little 2-day but not alot

Am wondering if i have made a mistake having this put in

any advice apreciated

the best birth control ever - NO SEX

seriously thank you all for your help advice and concern.

Yeah, but not totally reliable, is it?

Hope you're feeling ok FD, sounds like you've had an awful time. My GP had just about talked me into this, I think not, I'm anaemic enough already!

reliable if you dont do it

Clairabelle: I think that on the hormonal IUD then you often don't get periods at all... it's the non-hormonal IUD I had which led to extended periods for me, too. I am unsure whether FD had the hormonal type (slowly releases progesterone, like being on the mini-pill, but you can't forget to take it!) or non-hormonal. I am toying with idea of hormonal IUD, actually, if I could take the unpleasantness of getting it inserted.

ps: FD, DH is currently bribing me with wine to get me in the mood, ha!

FD, what did the GP say about you taking it out yourself?

he wasn't that mad actually lisa - he said the reason i was able to take it out was because it was already commnig out.

well i havn't bled at all today and i feel sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good and happpppppppppppppppppppppppy
