Early miscarriage with the copper coil..

Just had a lighter period than usual followed by a 5 day gap and then a heavy period. Symptoms of tender breasts, nausea and sensitivity to smell. I've had the copper coil for 3 years and never had this before.

Anyone experienced similar? Pregnancy test turned out negative and the doctor was fairly unhelpful - apparently the coil was doing its job. Not keen to go through this again but hormonal contraception doesn't seem to agree with me. Hmm

It's doing its job in that it can prevent implantation of a fertilised egg, so perhaps you're experiencing a chemical pregnancy which won't progress due to implantation failure.
