I had the copper coil inserted 19 days ago. I spotted / lightly bled for a couple of days post insertion, with some cramps. That went up until around 8 days ago when I started getting sharp twinges. I have been bleeding ever since with on/off cramps. It’s heavy for a bit, then becomes much lighter until it virtually stops for a few hours. Then it starts again in the same pattern. My period is due tomorrow, so I don’t know what’s period or not now. I am also feeling extremely hormonal and emotional despite it being the copper coil.
Is this normal? The constant bleeding is getting me down a bit. I know I was to expect heavier and more painful periods which I am fine with tolerating, but I didn’t expect constant bleeding. It’s getting me down and making me irritable. It also means having sex is a bit more tricky as I don’t know if it’s going to be a blood bath afterwards!!
