Apologies is this is a bit TMI and long winded! As a bit of history I have anaemia and have a history of very heavy painful periods which include migraines, sickness and at times time off work each month.
My GP advised I have the coil to reduce my bleeding and symptoms along with iron tablets… I knew that the coil can take time to reduce the bleeding.
I had it fitted in June and despite a bit of a traumatic experience having it fitted and a day or two of pain it’s been fine.
My periods have started to become lighter and less painful. Normally for a couple of days I can manage with just a panty liner and then I have a few day of more normal bleeding where I still need period pants and a heavy pad.
Yesterday on day 6 of my period I was walking my dogs and could feel something sharp… when I got home I checked and my threads had dropped down and were poking into me 🙁 Today I can no longer feel them so low… I have had a look online and on 111 and it states to get advice from GP (so non emergency).
I am obviously concerned that my coil has moved… though my partner hasn’t noticed feeling the threads at all.
I wonder if anyone has experienced it moving during bleeding? I’m hoping that it just moved during my period ( which can happen) as I really don’t want to go through it being removed and another fitted!
Also just for information my partner has had a vasectomy so there is no risk of pregnancy
