So this is my first time posting, I'm sorry if this is long winded.

So I had the coil fitted late last year and I suffered with alot of bleeding and had just general concerns, everytime I contacted my GP who just told me everytime that it was all normal and my body adjusting to the Copper IUD.
Months passed and I had waves of feeling like this was the best decison ever an waves of regretting it completely.
Until 4 weeks ago now, I had a small bleed thought nothing of it and was fine again within a few days. The following week my partner and I done the deed , again no problems. The week after i started to feel unwell my thighs felt numb, i was dizzy and felt sick. I called the GP who told me to take a pregnancy test regardless of how many times I insisted that it would be too early.. this was on the friday. On the saturday I then had the most strange sensation and when i went for a wee my coil has been expelled completely. I went through the 111 service but due to the pandemic we are in I couldnt get to the hospital they asked me to go to as it was too far, Instead 4 calls from the drs later I was prescribed 2 courses of antibiotics as they suspected a womb infection and told that I need to have blood tests to determine wether or not I am pregant and If so where it is located, the dr explained that my body has been rejecting the coil since day one and would have more than likely partially expelled it at the time of intercourse and that a pregnancy is in actual fact possible. So as advised i contacted my own GP on the monday and they told me that there is nothing they can do until I have a positive pregnancy test as the blood results will be back at the same time as i would be able to test at home which I understand. Ive started to develop pregnancy symptoms which i dont know if this is all in my head but they feel so real, Ive had mild cramping, ive gone off my favourite soft drink, things smell so much stronger, im always exhausted. Moving on from this my partner and I have spoke endlessly about this and the possibility of a 3rd child which although he is not keen on the idea, but given the situation surrounding it he would be fine. My partner has always told me that he doesnt want any more children, as we have 2 beautiful boys already. I on the other hand do not mind if i am pregant in fact I am actually looking forward to the idea of another.. so what im saying is that Im so nevrous to take the test tomorrow as I dont want to feel dissapointed.

Sounds like you’ve been through the mill with that coil. I had a copper coil for two years I couldn’t really get on with it, my periods were so heavy and long on it.

If you are pregnant, it will be your choice how to proceed, don’t forget that. Good luck with everything, I hope it works out the way you want Smile

If you are pregnant they may want to check to see if it is an ectopic which is sadly fairly common in IUD pregnancies. Bear this in mind and if your symptoms worsen then go to a hospital immediately. Wishing you luck for the outcome you want.

Fingers crossed it turns out right for you.

Shouldn't you have antibiotics anyway if they suspect a womb infection?

Fingers crossed!!! For you obviously Wink

Yeah, I hate the coil. It's been crap for me too.

Sperm can live up to 7 days so is entirely possible. How have you felt though since its came out? As I've been reading about copper toxicity and your symptoms sound a bit like that!
