"i was so worried about getting it fitted that the first time, when the nurse had only just starting going into my cervix and i could start feeling uncomfortable i chickened out. however i tried again, took a few more pain killers and went to a different place where the doctor was very experienced fitting coils on childless women like me and the nurse was lovely and held my hand and chatted throughout. it wasn&#039;t comfortable but it wasn&#039;t horrible either. i have some period type cramping and spotting for a few days and everything was fine, i even went for a run on day 3 after the fitting. my periods are slightly heavier than when i was on the pill but they are the same as when i wasn&#039;t on any contraceptive. i love it and highly recommend."
