Copper IUD Removal.
Long time no talk friends.
Last summer I went through the worse miscarriage of my life. We’ve always done the natural family planning method but that time we weren’t being too careful. After my miscarriage was over with I went in and got the Paraguard IUD. It’s non-hormonal, it basically makes your uterus hell for sperm. Getting it in didn’t hurt at all. There was a lot of cramping afterwards and an achy back.
Let me tell you about my horrible year with it though.... With all my periods, a week before they arrive I have light spotting so that was annoying. When the actual period came it was so heavy and lasted 8-9 days. My back hurts ALL the time. I thought I was gaining weight because of stress even though I was working out like crazy and eating healthy but it turns out I have COPPER TOXICITY. When your body has too much copper it can make it produce more estrogen and what does estrogen do??? It makes you emotional, gives you acne and makes you gain weight. All of what I suffered this last year.
So much for non-hormonal, right?
I’m finally getting it removed this week. Never will I ever put a foreign object in my body again.
Has anyone else suffered with their copper IUD?
