Questions about my Copper IUD
So I'm wondering if anyone out there has done a succesful 10 years with a copper IUD? I have had mine for eight months and am still in a tremendous amount of pain from my periods. They have never been this painful or heavy in my life! Is there any medications my doctor might give me for the pain? Also, is it normal to feel it move occasionaly or shift? Do the periods ever stop? A friend of mine with Mirena said she hasn't had a period in three years but I'm not into hormones. I do not want to have it removed because as I said before I can't handle the hormones. I'm just wondering if anyone has success storys or answers for how to get through this without so much pain.
I've never thought of it like that and now I'm totaly freaking out! I had sex the other night and it got so painful I had to stop. I felt this horrible pain on the right hand side of my stomache where I think it shifted to. I hadn't thought of that fact that it wouldn't be keeping me from getting pregnant though. I'm definitly calling the doc tomorow!
wow. i have the mirena and am getting it removed to have the copper one instead. based off of my aunts' accounts of 10 yr usage of the copper one is the whole reason i decided to get it. im not familiar with heavy cycles lasting longer than the first couple of cycles and no- you are absolutely not supposed to know it's there. you shouldn't feel any shifting or any movement. it's possible that yours hasn't been inserted properly or failed to stay implanted. you should discuss your symptoms w/ your doc. your birth control may be at stake!
