Copper coil fitted & cramping :(

[c0vb1rd]

Hi

I had the copper coil fitted on Friday night, I was told by my GP that I should be ok after about an hour, but ever since the fitting I've had light period like cramping - to the point were its hard to ignore. Is this normal and should it settle down?

Thanks in advance :)

I have experienced this with all the coils I've had and it does settle down eventually. If it is persists or gets worse though I would go and visit your GP again. Have you felt the strings to check if it's in the right place?

Also, when you have a period it might be heavier than normal and this is completely normal too - that being said, excessively heavy periods, v.painful cramping and pain during sex might indicate it's in the wrong place (v.unlikely, but handy to be aware of).

Hope you feel better soon.
