I've been trying to decide what to use, really didn't like the pill and stopped taking it about 4 years before getting my BFP. The doctor gave me info about the coil but I more or less dismissed it as I was being a wuss! Might think about it now, thanks!

Awww hun I know what u mean... I was almost shaking when I walked in to the room But it was absolutely fine, only as uncomfortable as a smear IMO! That could be down to the ibuprofen though I'd definitely recommend it to anyone, it has so many benefits!! I'm just happy now that I'm completely covered and don't have to remember to take or do anything, there's no extra hormones in my body (because I have more than enough!!) and my fertility will go straight back to normal once it's removed!! x

[aob1013]

[xemmax]

sorry all other attributes are overshadowed by the size of your uterus

you shouldn't have been so honest in your ad, most people leave those kind of details until the second date xx

 

[ttc_lolly]

LOL honesty is the best policy i say!!! share & share alike!! x

Honestly you'll be fine. I had the copper coil fitted at 19, I had never given birth or been pregnant. They let me have it because at the time it was recommended I didn't have anything with hormones (long story).

Just went to family planning clinic and they did it. I had taken no painkillers beforehand because I didn't think they'd actually do it that night. The doc was lovely and it didn't take long. It didnt hurt me any more than usual period pains do.

I took two paracetamol afterwards and then went straight to work to do a night shift (so it obviously wasnt that bad!) Had a bit of spotting afterwards but thats it.

Unfortunatley I had to have mine taken out after 6 months as I started bleeding constantly, it turned out my body was trying to reject the coil as it is a foreign object. If this hadnt happened I would have had it in right up until I decided to conceive!

Go for it, it doesn't hurt that much, there are loads of pro's to having one! x

Awww to be honest, it was the speculum/clamp that was the only uncomfortable part of it for me! You'll be fine! x
