Some pain and cramps is totally normal xx

Absolutely normal! I have worn one for 3 years, taking one out and putting it back in, and it is always uncomfortable for a few days after you put it in. It is also like that when you take it out.. it should go away within a week, but they say see a doctor if it continues to hurt.

I'm thinking of getting one of these. I have the mirena coil at the moment but I'm pretty sure it's making me very moody and miserable and my skin is awful ever since it's been in (5 months now). What are the risks and benefits of the copper coil? Could really do without hormones!

Yea I am. Sore today but nothing compared to how I was yesterday. It apparently happens to 1in a1000...of course I am that 1!

awww bless ya hun, glad ya feeling ok iv been to docs i have an infection and on antibiotics and got to go back if it dosnt clear up iv taken 2 and im already feeling a lil better,

the pros are that there no hormones in the copper coil so no spots,moodyness,weight gain, ect

the cons are that when u come on ur period ur periods tend to be alot more heavier mine are really heavy but i still opted for this method so i now get put on tablets every month to calm the bleeding down,, xx

Yeah your cycles will be a little heavier.. that's about it, unless you are one of the few that have a perforation.

Six days after having the copper IUD inserted I went to the doctor's because of experiencing pain, slight bleeding and discharge. I was told I had a slight infection and put on antibiotics. Now I'm on day 2 of the course and am feeling slightly better, but I'm worried this is gonna turn into pelvic inflammatory disease and make me infertile. The doctor didn't seem too bothered but didn't give too much info either. I regret not asking more questions but she basically said it won't cause my fallopian tubes to be blocked because it's not a chlamydia infection?!?!

Does anyone else have any experience of this? Do they check for damage afterwards?

Thanks in advance!
