Yes. Not everyone gets on with the coil. It worked hormonally but at the same time as I put it in I started to get daily pelvic pain. They do need 2 or 3 months to settle but after5 months I decided persistent daily pain was worse than severe menstrual pain once a month and took it out. My pelvic pain vanished within a week.
Yes, I had the most awful time with mine. From the first week the back pain and cramping and being able to feel it scratching and sticking in was terrible. I called the GP and kept being told to let it settle in. On some occasions, the pain was so intense I couldn't sit at all. I eventually went to have it removed after 9 months and it had migrated all the way to the opening of my cervix. Keep an eye on what you are feeling and go with your feelings - you know your body better than anyone,
I know I keep being told to let it settle, but this is SO annoying. And yes! Sitting down I feel like its worse. Just frustrating as this was my last port of call, medication wise before I go on injections (which I really am scared to do). Thank you for responding. Hope you are well
Yesss!!!! I did I bloody hated it. It was soo uncomfortable! In the end I got it removed.
Every time I have tried the mirena I end up being stabbed by it well that's what it feels like had to have the last one removed and the pains disappeared straight away
