Hi,

I had the merina coil removed approx 4-5 weeks ago as the side effects i was getting were so horrible, bad stomach cramps, mood swings, feeling sick, extra tired all the time. I never once had a period whilst i had the coil in, but now that it's removed im hoping that my body will slowly return back to normal and i get a period.

The reason as to why im posting this is because since ive had the coil removed, ive still felt bad stomach cramps, feeling sick in the evening times, mood swings, tiredness. Is this just my body trying to get back to normal do you think? 5 days before i had the coil removed me and my partner did have unprotected sex, i have read in my small hand out book when i got the merina inserted that their is a slight risk of becoming pregnant within a week before having the merina coil removed, if you dont wear extra protection.

Now i am just worried because the nurse didnt question this to me when i had my coil removed, she just tried to tell me all the positive reasons as to why to keep the coil in, when i told her the bad side effects i was having.

Any advice would be good to hear, shall i just wait it out till i get my period? I've no idea when i am due on, i really dont want to go back to the doctors.

 

Thanks.
