why are you bleeding
She said it was the coil and that it was so I wouldn't have any brothers or sisters until her and dad wanted them.
This is the only other time I've heard someone mention the coil.
It's usually the pill or injection or rhythm or withdrawal or anal these days, innit.
Pmsl! It does allegedly cause heavier periods and spotting. I haven't noticed a difference.
It's basically a copper coil that creates a toxic environment to sperm and eggs. It's non-hormonal, which is good for me: no way am I going to have my hormones artifically regulated for some dude. The only drawback was that I had to have a jack inserted into my front fundament before being cranked open. Then, the
torturer doctor grasped my cervix with a metal clamp (bit like having your stomach grabbed through your anus), and shoved painfully at my cervix with the largest coil she could find (she was determined to sterilise me for 10 years), before having to go for the smaller 5 year one; but only after she'd given the first a REALLY good go. You don't get to be a doctor without determination. Believe me, I'm tough as nails when it comes to pain but I thought I was going to vomit. Although I suppose not many women get to see what their cervix looks like SPREAD ON THEIR GUSSET.
Still had sex that night though.
