Mirena coil and more regular periods

I got the coil fitted to control heavy periods with contraception as a bonus. I’m aware I might be still in the settling down phase, this is my experience so far. Fitting was uncomfortable but I’ve had 3 vaginal birth so nothing touches that! Cramps for a few days but settled down. So far I have been bleeding most of the time since having it fitted, not heavy, light, but constant and irregular patterns. Very annoying. Low self esteem and low mood. Weight gain, despite being more physically active and eating healthily. Increase in headaches and migraines. Generally unimpressed at the lack of connection with healthcare professionals and Mirena coil users. So many women reporting poor experience yet doctors aren’t relaying this information. Will be having it removed. I choose control over my body over convenience.

Overall helped to regulate my periods, but also had significant side effects on my food intake/weight and on my energy levels.

Put in because I have endometriosis. 6 days after putting it in, I experienced excruciating pain that I had to be prescribed an even stronger painkiller. I had periods that lasted 30 days or more. I waited it out for 6 months and got it taken out because it was just getting worse and worse. I then had blood clots the size of my palm that I had to go to a&e for. Awful experience.
