Coil and bleeding

[Lucask]

Hi I had the coil fitted about 2 months ago and this is my 1st period with the coil , I've never been in so much pain , and Ibr been bleeding for 2 weeks now with no sign of stopping, so fed up but only 1 person at my docs that can remove the coil

Hi, When you say the coil, do you mean the Mirena?

[Lucask in reply to Fabbird]

Yeah

[Fabbird in reply to Lucask]

Sounds like you should get it checked. Have you tried to feel for the threads? It is possible that it is out of position.

I hope you feel better soon.

I can feel them will di

Good to hear that you can feel them. Still sounds like you need to discuss with a doctor. Take care.

Hi! ok so ive had the coil in in April to stop my bleeding cuz I always bleed evryday. but it made it worse. Ive been bleeding really heavily since april & havent stopped. They did an xray and it showed tht the coil is in place. I think sometimes the body rejects it. Wait and see for atleast 2 more weeks cuz doctors always say to wait 3 months atleast. If it doesnt settle down then go back. Ive had 1 in before when I had my 2nd laparascopy and ended up in ane 2 weeks later to have it out. Good luck x

Hey,

I have been told it can take up to six months for the mirena to settle down. I have mine inserted almost 10 weeks now and also had terrible period last week. Apparently the first "few" can be painful. Google "caster oil pack" - it is the only thing that helps with my pain....
