This is interesting for me as had my second copper coil fitted a month ago. I am paranoid about getting pregnant on it.

My first one came out after a couple of months! After loads of pain having it fitted (i am a wuss!) it just came out while i was on the loo! :eek:

My first period after the fitting, which i am on now, is ridiculously heavy! The only thing I have known as heavy as this was after I had my kids. Its been a full week and am still experiencing flooding (sorry if tmi!).
I can't even use my mooncup as I think this is what caused my first coil to come out. So i'm stuck with pads which i hate!
If it works though then great as I hate taking hormones but I do worry about getting pregnant with it!
Take a pregnancy test hun and let us know how you get on. You are probably just having a heavy period and your body getting back to normal though. Looks like we will both have to get used to full on periods though!

I'm sorry to say this but I had a Mirena coil fitted about 12yrs ago and fell pregnant within 2 months but sadly I miscarried. It was taken out the same time as the D&C as obviously it didnt work for me.

Sorry, don't mean to be nosey but I'm just a bit puzzled as to why you would have a D&C following an ectopic pregnancy

To the OP - it does sound very much like your periods are returning to normal but best to do a pregnancy check to be on the safe side. They do say your periods can become much heavier with a coil fitted, although I found the reverse to be true and mine actually became lighter! Didn't improve my PMT much though :rotfl:

ive been on the mirena for 3 years now and still get months where i will get bleeding, normally once a year or so, it was quite a while after i got it in that the bleeding settled down, so it could just be that

have you had your follow up appointment to check all is ok?
