Copper coil

[Jamielyn]

Hey!

I had the copper coil fitted around 7 weeks ago. Ever since, I've felt really dizzy and not myself at all. Has anyone experienced any issues with this at all?

Where you on the pill beforehand? I had the copper coil fitted in October and for the first few weeks I had excessive sweating. I think this was down to the years of artificial hormones exiting my system.
I feel fine and normal now and my cycle is falling back into a pattern. Also my appetite has dropped drastically which can't be a bad thing!

No contraception before hand. I had a miscarriage and had the copper coil fitted shortly after. I feel really wavey all the time x

Hi! Yeah, I had this the whole time I had it but I was bleeding pretty heavily the whole time too so I always put it down to that. If it’s really bothering you then definitely go back and say to the person who fitted it :)

Go back to your doctor, you could be having a reaction to the amount of copper now in your body, it can have some heavy side effects.
Google will give you some feedback.

Dr Google says it might be anaemia: here. Try some iron supplements?

Yes! When I first had it inserted I had a few instances where I almost fell over. It only lasted a few weeks

Thanks for all your advice.

I've been taking iron tablets before I got the IUD because I've suffered from anemia before.

I just don't feel right on it. It's been 2 months since I've had it, I get severe headaches at times and feel like I'm going to collapse. I think I better get it removed!
