This is my second coil... 1st four years were fine though I had put on about 20lbs.. which could have just been me. I went to have the coil removed at Xmas.. since about February I had put on another 20lbs and have had bacterial infection endlessly. i have tried not treating it with anitbiotics and treating it. Same thing.. it just comes back. When I am examined I am also told I have thrush (which I am not aware of - believe it or not). It is coming out next week.. can't wait!
