I've had a coil for 5 months now and my periods are starting to get lighter and more regular. I'm not sure how much the irregularity has been to do with the coil or coming off the pill.
I have been getting a lot of pain during my periods though. During the first two days (not necessarily the heaviest days) every few hours I get really bad pain in the right side which makes me want to rip my uterus out, then after about 15 seconds I get a hot sensation in the same place which then fades. A few minutes later I get pain then heat again. This goes on for about 20-30 minutes at a time then the pain will go for a few hours and we start again. Does anyone else get this and if so did it settle down as your body got used to having a coil?
