A member asked:

Does mirena (levonorgestrel) coil cause bad headaches ? only had it fitted 3 days ago and had an awful headache since yesterday

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Should not occur: Would wonder about a coincidental event, but would strongly advise contacting your doctor and discussing in detail, as the timing seems too close.
