Hi, I had my coil removed on Tuesday. I was bleeding after exercise and after sex (although I haven't really felt like sex very often since having it fitted). I went to my GP who checked the coil - said it was fine and suggested a scan. I then had my scan and was told the coil was in the wrong place and I needed to have it removed. I have had it removed and am now on day 4 and passing dry clots and flooding alternately. I have to say in the 10 months I have had the coil I have gained 2 stone. I had a baby in November 07 and was only 2 stone over my start weight - i had put on 4 during the pregnancy and since having the coil I had gained that back and more!!!! I look like I am still pregnant and initially after having the baby i didn't look like that. I am so moody and forgetful that I had put it down to post natal depression and am now on anti depressants. My skin hasn't been a problem which had been my main worry as I got terrible acne with the mini pill which is progesterone based. My hair is incredibly thick and I put hair loss down to post baby hormones. My bleeds were light and the spotting wasn't heavy but just a nasty surprise when it happened. I am so pleased now that it was in the wrong place and that i have had it taken out. I just hope I return to normal now. Birth control is my major worry as I can't take the pill so maybe condoms it is but at the moment I have to await the reawakening of my sec drive anyway. Hope that helps - I would seriously not recommend it.
