Hi everyone
I had sex over a month ago and realised I had missed one of my pills that day (progesterone only pill - mini pill) so I freaked out and 2 1/2 days later I got the morning after pill. The doctor said I was only 70% cover so he said I should get the coil within the 5 day window period. I got it put in the next day (4 days after) and the doctors said I’ll be fine. I had the worst pains after that that I could barley move and a period. Then it was fine. 3 weeks later I took a pregnancy test and it was negative. A week after that (so over a month later from the time of sex) I took another test and it was negative. I also got brown discharge the week after which followed with a period that lasted about 4 days.
So I presumed I wasn’t pregnant. However recently, I started to notice my breasts were sore, then the day after I got the worst bloating, and didn’t want to eat anything. It would be fine one minute, then I would have to lie down. And this happened for a whole day. It has now got better but I still feel shaky and don’t want to eat and a bit sick and tired. I’ve also had moments of fever flushes. This was also meant to be the day of my ovulation. I was petrified that I was pregnant but didn’t get how I was if I had got both the pill and the coil, PLUS I had had a period and had two negative tests. I spoke to my friend who has also had the copper coil put in and she says she gets similar side affects each month before her period/during her ovulation. I researched copper toxicity and now I’m worried it might be that, I have had a few moments of pain in my lower area as well.
Has anyone been on the coil before that has experienced this? Also does anyone have any advice?
I’m feeling better today (day 3 since it started) but I’m very shaky and not very hungry at all. I really hope I’m not pregnant as that would be the worst possible thing ever for me right now, so please tell me I can’t be please
