im having my coil fitted on Wednesday and am dreading it!! From all the feedback i've had its going to be painful, and make my periods heavier and more painful so im hoping this is wrong!! But on the positive no hormones to contend with (can't take the pill because of migraines) and no baby scares!!
Nicola - Don't worry about it, its not that bad at all. Only painfull for a few hours after and as long as you regularly take painkillers (i've had two fitted now so second time round was wiser!) its not painful at all.
Thanks Cheryl! That has made me feel better! im sure it will be fine, just a little concerned as my first af will be when we are away on holiday next month!!
Not a good time Nicola! But don't worry about it the fitting I expected it to be really bad especially as I've not had kids so was warned it would be worse for me. However its not bad at all the more relaxed you are about it the better.
That's one of the things us regulars love about this site, how a post can expand into many threads, just like a normal conversation! You should have been on here a month back when we did 'pre-walker shoes!'
Nicola, you will be fine, I have had it fitted twice and believe me, if you can give birth then the coil is a doddle! PM me if you need to chat anytime x x
Luckily i've got an appointment first thing, so I can go on my own!!! Thanks Lucy. It will be ok. Im just a bit worried of how it will affect me after the painful periods or whatever. But I won't know if I dont' give it a go! oooh thats a rhyme!!
