Coil

Hi, I'm new to this forum. I'm 49 and having terrible peri menopausal symptoms. My GP has prescribed me the mini pill and a patch but has told me it will cause monthly (if not more!) bleeding. I really don't want that so am considering the coil. But I am terrified!! Nothing on Google reassured me about the process at all. Any positive experiences out there? Xx

I love mine @Polly1974 . It's been brilliant. I also have Estrodot patches. No more periods. Peri symptoms are broadly under control. Life changing.

I only know about Kyleena from a Gp friend - we both had c sections for all our children. She went for that because of that reason.

I had the coil but my first one took 10 months before I stopped bleeding on and off. X
