The coil is taken out when you want it out and in any case after 5 years.Fertility returns to normal within a short time.It is a popular contraceptive in much of the world,mainly but not entirely for women who have children.It is also popular with women who get heavy periods and wish to reduce them to a low level or to avoid a hysterectomy.Possible side effects include acne,breast tenderness and even weight gain but most women seem to be happy with them and have no side effects.
