well i was the same as you... endless pains with the coil and i had to get it taken out after 6 months.... i am popping pills now and that the only choice or you can go on Depo-Provera injection instead of popping pills but it is entirely up to you... sorry to hear that you are in pain with it and bleeding all the time... so ask about the mini pills or depo-provera injection which one is the best one... x

Hi Learidd

I was also the same as you and had a horrendous reaction to the coil. It also had to come out after I ended up in hospital as an emergency for 2 days. I didnt have any trouble in getting it removed but then comes the problem of what to do next.

Have you tried or been offered zoladex/prostap or decapeptyl which are given by injection? The aim is to put you in a temporary menopause but keep the pain and growth of endo at bay. I didnt like the sound of this when it was first mentioned and put it off until I had no other options left. And I'm happy to say it did work for me and I wished I'd tried it sooner.

Before having any endo treatment I was on the mini-pill and found Femodene the best one for me.

Good luck

Hi! I've just seen your post, I've been in agony since having the coil fitted but due to it stopping the bleeding kept it in and tried to deal. It got worst and went to the doctors and found out that I had an infection in my womb. Had countless antibiotics and still feel awful! This is the only thing that has stopped the bleeding but onviously can't go on like this! What did you do next?!
