Salster! Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 After many different pills and 9 day heavy periods (with extreme pain) I now have Implanon and its been like a miracle. I have a little breakthrough bleeding at times but other than that, I personally would recommend it. It means that if you are with a long term partner you don't have to think about messing with anything or remembering to take your pill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NatalieSheff Posted October 30, 2006 Author Share Posted October 30, 2006 True. Nothing except complete abstinence, hystrectomy or oophrectomy are! Both are a bit radical though! Currently the choices are: Combined pill ..........................

NatalieSheff Posted October 30, 2006 Author Share Posted October 30, 2006 Doesn't mean that you would have the same problem though. Like lots of women, I don't have any grief with mine. Perhaps her's isn't fitted properly??? It feels so much better than sticking unnatural levels of hormones in my body and means I don't have to worry about contraception for 8 years at a time! If your friend's experience is all you are ruling it out on then it is definitely worth thinking about a bit more. i think its prob just the thought of something foreign tHERE-but i c what u mean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzy Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 I have a Mirena coil, it is not all i was told it would be but it works fine for me and no hassle. The not expected i have is i still get periods (though not like they used to be) but i am fine with that id rather have them than not really, at least i know for sure it is still working. The PMT is better too. I sometimes think i can feel mine but i am sure it is just my imagination as i have had it checked and it is fine. If your friend can feel hers she needs to get it checked or replaced asap as they can embed themselves if not in the right place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NatalieSheff Posted November 1, 2006 Author Share Posted November 1, 2006 she ended up with infection and had it taken out, she went back few weeks later for new one and found out she was preg-some people are just too fertile! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henrietta Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Natalie, if you want to stay away from hormones have you considered Gynefix --> http://www.drorlandella.it/gynefix_file/image005.jpg Its a really small - and flexible - IUD. I'd recommend it as its extremely unobtrusive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nik Nak Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 I had a non-hormone coil fitted about 6 weeks ago, since then I've noticed my periods seem to have regulated themselves (I have never had them exactly 4 weeks apart until now and was diagnosed with polycystic ovaries syndrome last year which probably explains it). However my periods are now lasting much longer than they used to - roughly 2 weeks... Is this normal? Has anyone else experienced similar???

cosywolf Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 I think you need to give them time to settle. I've had mine in for about 4 months now and my periods have taken this long to regulate, stay for a sensible five days and not make me bleed like that scene from The Shining, LOL. If you're concerned, see your GP again. 6 weeks is about the time you're supposed to get it checked anyway I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
