Experiences with

Intrauterine device (IUD)

I’ve gotten sick from the copper iud just wondering if anyone in manhattan’s or New York area to be friends I really need chronic illness friends

I’ve just recently had my health insurance claim approved to go to a consultant, I was diagnosed with Adenomyosis this year, and was given the IUD under general anaesthesia.

Do you think IUD can help to reduce cyclical bowel inflammation and pain?

Hey, so I was recently diagnosed with Endometriosis after many, many years of being told it's just a heavy period, you'll just have to get on with it - thank you male doctors. So now I have a diagnosis and my GP recommended the coil as a first plan of action. After insertion my coil came out after 3

I do not like IUD's as I feel I would end up bleeding a lot like others have and have severe pain and I do not like the fact that the IUD device could easily move inside me and cause more damage due to other health issues I deal with and how doctors constantly downplay to my face about an IUD making

How long does it take for your period to start again after an iud removal? I got mine taken out a month ago. I was on my period when I got it taken out but now Flo is saying I’m 19 days late.

Hi all, Just after some experiences please. I went to my GP to ask for a hysterectomy due to my increased symptoms of endo that I've had since I was 11 (I'm now 36). I have been absolutely blessed with having a child of my own and have now got to the stage in my life where child 2 isn't on the cards

My cycle is irregular and i usually have spotting thoughout my cycle, I’m not on birthcontrol however I was on it for about 3 years until about 5 months ago, I also had the IUD but got it taken out due to complications.

And that I should get the Mirena IUD to help.

At 6 weeks pp I had the copper IUD put in. The procedure went very smoothly, I didn't even bleed afterwards. But, my periods have been havoc since I had the coil fitted/had the baby.

I have the copper IUD which at first I blamed, however I've been told things should usually calm down after 6 months of that being inserted but my periods are getting worse and more irregular.

I am currently on the implant however my doctor suggested I have the Mirena IUD coil and I was wondering if anyone has experience with the Mirena and has any advice on whether this is a good idea!? Please any advice is appreciated thank you

Pain during sex and lack of libido has continued - have been checked and the IUD is still comfortably in place and has not shifted. When I went to the doctor they were very dismissive and just said that my body was adjusting.

I had my IUD switched to mirena and thankfully the bleeding issues I’ve had have stopped. However my pelvic pain / pressure, restless legs, fatigue, cramps and pain in back passage continues.

Recently I got a copper IUD placed and had serious issues and had to get it removed.

I'm here to tell everyone that you do not have to suffer or take oral birth control, have IUD, or a period if you don't want to! In 2020 I was diagnosed with severe anemia due to blood loss from my period. I didn't have other symptoms or think they were that bad.

They fitted the hormonal IUD (coil) saying it would help with my pain and the new endo growth. I’m just under three weeks post surgery and my period has started and it feels like torture. It’s ridiculously painful, I was just starting to be able to walk again and this has floored me.

hey everyone, hope you’re all doing ok. Im nearly 4 weeks post laparoscopy and mirena coil fitment. Im having to take painkillers nearly everyday at work for intense pressure headaches. So far the coil is working and i haven’t had a period (which is great) and would be a shame to have it removed because

After going back to have another image of the IUD to get a better look the veteran ultrasound technician told me there was no way that IUD was coming out without surgery and that she had 30+ years and knows what she was talking about .

It could be low because I’ve recently become vegetarian and I have had a coil IUD fitted causing very heavy periods - but this is a different story. Unfortunately though, the problem child this time is my T4 which is now hypothyroid at 8.9 (range 11-22). I am on 10mcg carbimazole a day.
