That's great! I've same experience I had the mirena coil fitted in 2010 it took a while to settle but has been brilliant for me, I'm on second one now. Wish it worked for everyone

This is an interesting question. I m considering the mirena coil as I just had a baby but I m still breastfeeding so I decided to wait a bit longer as my endo pain hasn't come back as yet.
I m following this. Hope you ll get it sorted!hugs
