Copper Iud New User Posted: 09-07-06 02:51am
I had my iud fitted last night, i`ve had a
sleepless night with the cramping pains
but they seem to be subsiding,and theres
been no bleeding.
The only problem is I can find no trace of
my threads and this really worries me as
the doctor told me she left them quite
long, and when I go back in 6 weeks time
she will shorten them if needed.
I was also told that if it was going to
expel it could happen within the first 12
hours, could it have come out while I was
on the loo and I did not notice!!?.
I am really worried as I cannot even begin
to think of having another one fitted, it
was more painful than I thought it would
be.

If you cannot feel the strings you are
supposed to go back immeiately to have
them see if they slid into your uterus or
if (more likely) the iud did indeed fall
out. I wouldn't wait 6 weeks, i'd go
asap.

I had a horrible time with the copper iud.
Lots of heavy bleeding and period pains.
I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Mine
came out in the first few days and I also
experienced the cramps like you. I had to
have another one put it so I got the
mirena which wad fantastic and gave me no
problems.

I had my paraguard fitted 16 days ago and
so far not too bad. I had to reach
pretty far up and search around to find
the strings. I was told that the greatest
risk of expulsion is in the first three
months. I agree with eiri. If you can't
find the strings get it checked by your dr
right away. I hope everything turns out
ok.
