Marina Coil

Hi all,

I am having the Marina Coil fitted this Friday. Hopefully this will help ease the pains? I have been told it hurt when inserting it and also you put on loads of weight? Can anyone give me advice on this.

Insertion can be uncomfortable but only for a few minutes. Take some painkillers an hour before and relax as much as possible during insertion. You may experience cramping for a few hours afterwards. I never put on weight and I've had 3 x

I agree, it was uncomfortable getting it put in but not too bad and it only took a few minutes. I had a mirena in for four years and didn't put on any weight but everyone is different. x
