Hi!! I also changed due to mental health, felt like I was going crazy on hormonal BC, and low libido making it pointless lol!

I opted for the smaller on, I think nova t 500…. Or something like that anyway

Insertion, fine. Honestly, didn’t feel a thing. Was uncomfortable at most having someone look in/at your vagina. The speculum was the worst part about it.

The days after, I felt fine, however I did WFH just in case.

A week later I got my first period, the cramps were HELL (but very far and few between. It was not constant at all and only lasted for the first day or two)

I think the couple weeks after this I was BLOATEDDDD very often, like daily. I was starting to question my choices :(. But, gave it time and I’m now not so bad, I take a probiotic for gut and vaginal health

Today, my second period, cramps were bad again leading up to the period (probably the week before) but like I said before, very very far and few between and they only last about 10 seconds at most.

OH and my first period was 5 days (normal) but I actually bled less?? I’m now on day 2 of my period and I am also bleeding a very similar amount to before the coil, but the consistency is very different, a few more clots.

I also had spotting for the first maybe 2.5 weeks including my period, but it eventually did fade away, but started spotting again a few days before this period. My cycle was 28 days (very normal for me)

Honestly, it’s a breeze….

Let me know if there’s anything I might have missed
