Copper coil

Hi just wondering if anyone has had problems with the copper coil. I have had it fitted for over a year at first seemed to be going well periods fine but last few minths(after a year of being fitted) my periods started coming a week early then would be 10 days late but we're all normal length. The last couple I have come on when I'm due on but then I don't stop I would be bleeding for about 3 weeks then docs would give me a pill to stop the bleeding which works but then I stop the pill come back on had a normal period fine... I had a scan to see if in place they said all come back fine and had blood test as they said I have a couple little cysts on my ovaries but blood test show that was fine so again I've come on and it's been over 3 weeks and still bleeding have been given these pills again but a few differnt docs have said it shouldn't be the coil as was fitted over a year ago and when I look on Google says the same so has anyone else had this and its turned out to be the coil or something else TIA xx

I’ve never experienced this but it seems unlikely it would be the coil. Seems more likely to be a hormonal problem. Any other symptoms? Weight gain? Hair loss? Mood changes? Etc.

Hi no idea I did have a blood test to check hormones and come back fine x
