I have a copper coil because the hormonal ones affect my mental health really badly, I’ve had it for almost 3 years.
I’ve noticed occasionally over the past months that a week before my period I’m getting sore breasts/feeling sick and then my period is extremely heavy (leaks through a super plus tampon or night time pad per hour) and there are lots of clots. It last for quite a while. I also become extremely hormonal/depressed/angry (imagine the worst pms ever) and spot in between periods/bleed after sex.
In between those kinds of periods I can have “normal” ones that last for a couple of days and don’t really effect me.
I’m really worried that basically I’m getting pregnant (I think maybe 4 times it’s happened now) or implanting and then my coil is causing chemical pregnancy/very early miscarriage.
Emotionally I’m finding it traumatic as I have 2 children but have lost 3 children in the first trimester.
Is this something that happens? I don’t know if I’m paranoid
I have a colposcopy appointment to check it isn’t anything more sinister
