I went into my Mirena coil insertion with a head full of horror stories.
This is my story: what happened, how it felt, and what life with an IUD has been like since.

Is it time for you to volunteer with AccessBC to continue advocating for better health, and not JUST for improving the policy problems and lack of support for IUDs?

My doctor cursed me.
The last time I saw him he mentioned that my iud was due for changing. I said that I was happy to keep it until it stopped working because hopefully it would just see me out to menopause as they can last up to 10 years. He said that as long as I understand that it probably isn't going to effectively cover as a contraception for that long he couldn't see an issue with seeing if it would last me.
It's 2 weeks later and I have cramps and spotting, and am in a FOUL mood.
I'm making an appointment to get it changed asap because I have absolutely zero interest in dealing with periods again.
Fuck you, uterus.

Abstract This article analyses whether Denmark may have committed genocide against the indigenous population of Greenland by inserting intra-uterine devices into thousands of Greenlandic women and girls as part of a birth control programme in the 1960s and 1970s – the so-called ‘coil campaign’. This question is important for understanding of how genocide can be committed against indigenous peoples as part of colonial abuses. The article provides an in-depth analysis of genocide, focusing in particular on the prohibited act of imposing measures to prevent births, specific intent, and state responsibility. It then offers a critique of the so-called ‘Holocaust standard’, which perceives genocide as a time-intense mass murders committed by undemocratic, violent regimes and which often excludes indigenous experiences of genocide. Lastly, the article analyses Denmark’s obligations for truth, justice, and reparation. It concludes that, while more investigation is needed, it is possible that the coil campaign in Greenland may constitute genocide.
