Has any women used the Marina coil?
I had a copper coil for 4 years and the whole time had nothing but problems. Unlike the Marina, the copper coil does not have hormones however, my periods were very heavy (bleeding for 10 days heavy) and the rest of the month was just constant stomach aches and pains. Interestingly, I also started to suffer from IBS after it was fitted and never even knew this existed before having the coil! (you know sometimes before your period you get a bit of an upset tummy – it was like that all month). Anyway, I had it removed three weeks ago, IBS stopped instantly – I am contemplating the mini pill but want to see what a “normal” (i.e. without the coil) period is like before deciding. They are for some people but not for everyone.
