"i&#039;ve just had the copper coil fitted an hour ago. i thought i&#039;d share my experience as i read so many stories about the coil and the effects and it made me so nervous to go. 

i&#039;m 20 years old and haven&#039;t had any children (doctors mention it&#039;s less uncomfortable if you have had kids)  

firstly, she clamped me open and measured me up (look up the process if you don&#039;t know what i&#039;m going on about) this was slightly uncomfortable, but very bearable. she then pinched on my cervix which wasn&#039;t painful at all. then the coil was placed. the whole process took 6-7 minutes. it wasn&#039;t painful just slightly uncomfortable. but i&#039;m very satisfied and just suffering with a bit of cramping. but the paracetamol has sorted me out. overall 10/10 experience!"
