Has anyone ever had any experience of the copper coil going wrong?
I had mine fitted end of July.
Periods got heavier and lasted longer, fine, was aware this was likely to happen.
When I had it fitted the Dr wanted me to have a transvaginal ultrasound to make sure the coil had not perforated my womb as I am at an elevated risk of this as I am still breastfeeding.
The sonographer said that one of the coil arms is twisted and that there is a large pool of liquid sat in my womb which may be blood. She said she couldn’t say more as it would have to wait for a doctor. I have been bleeding very heavily mid cycle for about a week now and having different, more intense pain than period pain.
I have an appointment at the family planning clinic tomorrow.
I assume as the coil is damaged it will have to come out? And that the fact that there is a pool of potentially blood in womb would mean than the coil did perforate my womb?
Any experiences or advice greatly received.
Thank you xx
