Mirena Coil
8 Answers
I had it fitted last Nov and every month I get period pains that last for about 10 days before I start and I feel so bloated & tired - seriously thinking of having it taken out but the fact it was so painful when it was put in I'm trying to put up with it as long as I can in case it hurts just as much! Does anyone else have side effects?

is this the non hormonal coil? if it is then it shouldnt give u side effects, when i had mine (non hormonal) my periods were so light, i had no side effects, except i felt i gained weight which in theory shouldnt happen as there are no hormones. Coils come in different sizes, maybe yours is a bit too big, and u need a shorter one fitted. coils list side effects as having heavier more painful periods butb i found the opposite, so see your family planning clinic, not your GP as the clinic will have a full range to suit you
