Advice about discharge and coil.

Hi all,

I’ve been having some troubles over the past month involving losing a brown discharge and orange spotting, a slight pain once I’ve passed urine and some cramping. I’ve had swabs taken by doctors including sti checks but everything has come back normal but I feel as though something isn’t right and my urine has come back all clear. I’ve asked to be referred to a gynaecologist to see if I can get any further help. I’ve had the Mirena coil fired now for nearly 2 years so I’m wondering if it’s to do with my coil as I have never had anything like this before. I was just wondering if anyone with the coil has experienced anything like this or similar. Or anyone that doesn’t have the coil experienced similar. I’m just worrying and feeling quite low about what’s going on as the doctors can’t figure it out and I know something isn’t right. Thank you for reading and any advice would be really appreciated x

Yes I had this with the Mirena coil. Constant brown discharge and bleeding. Never had a baby but the pains I was having the GP said it was my insides contracting as they didn’t like the foreign body there. I had it removed as it was causing more trouble x

Remove that foreign object and go on the Pill named Diane.

I just had mine removed last night. I've had lots of brown discharge and cramping since it went in. When I say cramp what I mean is whimpering with pain and virtually collapsing. Mine never settled at all and after 9.5 weeks I couldn't take anymore. Plus my periods as such increased to 16 days with spotting in between. I had swabs and urine tests the other week. Nothing showed. I think when your body decides it doesn't like something, you don't have much choice but to remove it. Sorry...

Thank you all for your replies, this has been very helpful. I’m a bit worried to go back onto the pill as it messed a lot with my hormones before x
