"hi i am 20 and just had the copper coil fitted a week ago. when it was inserted as i have had no children it was slightly uncomfortable however i was unaware you should take pain killers before the procedure so now i know! but it was not major had a couple of twinges for about 4 days and brownish discharge but after that everything went back to normal.  i still feel slight period cramps here and there especially when i&#039;m in need of a bowel movement! (tmi) overall so far i think its going well"
