Community PostI am so sorry to read that so many of you have been suffering due to having the coil fitted. I had the mirena coil fitted last Thursday, which I understand was only four days ago, but since then, I've felt like my ovaries are being constantly twisted, with contractions in the mix and terrible backache. I also haven't stopped going to the loo, it's every half an hour and even the smallest amount of food that I eat goes straight through me. I foolishly thought it would be literally a five minute procedure and I'd be fine, silly me! Like some posts I have read, I too have tattoos and piercings and a very high pain threshold, but this stopped me in my tracks, it makes me wonder how I carried on working afterwards. I literally drove straight to work ten minutes after having it done. Driving back from the doctors surgery, I thought I was going to faint, the pain made me wonder if it had been inserted properly and should I call an ambulance, it hurt that much. I'm thinking do I persevere with this pain, or simply just call the doctors in the morning and get it taken out? Hot water bottles only do so much! I am under the impression that this will help with heavy periods and breakthrough bleeding and I imagine it is good for my age, being 45 and pre-menopausal, but surely suffering in silence like this is no good. Any advice would be very welcomed! Thank you 🙂
