Women who have had the non hormonal coil fitted, how have your periods changed since?

1. At first they were a lot heavier for a few months and more painful. Over time they stabilized to a healthy level.

2. For me they were incredibly painful, like hyperventilating trying to find painkillers. Flow went from 5 days to 12+ days average. Also cramps during ovulation or during gymtime. I probably had a foreign body reaction. After removal all the symptoms disappeared. Endured it for 2 years because there is no other non hormonal contraceptive (besides condoms). Got a sterilization.
   For every person it differs though, had friends that had somewhat worse periods, but are overall very happy with it.

3. What’s a coil? Like an iud?
