Yes that sounds like the insertion or fitting wasn't correct. Have you ever been told that you have a tilted uterus? In most women the uterus tilts slightly forward, but in some women it sits more upright or even tilted slightly backwards. These are variations on normal, which can cause the cervix to project at slightly different angles.


My friend had a lot of trouble being fitted for a diaphragm because her uterus was very tilted. I think she ended up with a specially fitted cervical cap instead. I can imagine this might affect some women using NuvaRing as well. And vice versa: Anyone having trouble with diaphragms might find NuvaRing tricky too.


I could only have my NuvaRing out for about 20min a couple times a months. Otherwise, I got breakthrough bleeding (but I'm prone to breakthrough bleeding on hormones anyway.)

Thanks for all the coil stories. Just goes to show there is not one type that suits all. I'm kind of put off the copper coil given the comments about bleeding and advice from doc, I may give the mirena a go. Someone mentioned the diaphragm too, I hadnt thought of that. Something to ponder on over Christmas, fun fun!

Thanks again :-)

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
