I've been thinking about getting the
mirena coil fitted, as i've heard good
things about it, but i'd like some
advice.. Has anyone had any experience
with them? I think I remember .Becky
saying she had one.. But I don't know if
anyone else has. Does it really reduce
your menstrual flow as much as they say it
does? I have very heavy periods and I got
my first one last week (not fun.. I
wasn't expecting it!) so I love the idea
of my periods being easier to handle.
I'm using condoms at the moment, but
they're such a faff.. So I either want to
get the coil fitted or just get the
pill.
Thank you in advance for any advice! =)

I'd definately say go for it.
There are really good reports with the ius
(marketed as mirena) as it has slow
release hormones in it, unlike the older
iud which doesn't.

I havent' had problem with it so far. I
love it......The flow is the same for me
because I was never heavy.....Well my
first one after my section was kinda heavy
but since I got it...I haven't had a
problem and not having to remember to take
a pill, change a patch, worry about
getting the shot or fidgiting with the
condom has been great........I say go for
it.

Hi darling yes I have one in and it's
fantastic!I have no periods whatsoever and
don't have to worry about it at all. I
wouldn't recommend the one without
hormones though cause that made me bleed
really heavy. I got mine fitted at brook.
They're great.
