IUD / IUS, which one?!

0 Replies

Got diagnosed with PCOS in 2021 but have had symptoms for 10+ years.

I’ve had nothing but trouble with oral contraceptive pills so am on no hormonal treatment and have had zero support from GPs and gynaecologists.

The only option now being given to me is to have an intrauterine device/system fitted. It feels like it’s being forced on me as no one will take me seriously without getting one fitted.

Other than the pure anxiety about having one fitted, I can’t find any consistent guidance on which is better, a hormonal coil or a copper coil?

Is one better than the other? I feel sick about getting one fitted, I don’t want to end up with the wrong one.
