Anyone Had This with Copper Coil?

[Autumn94x]

I’ve had the copper coil in for over a year now, and my periods have been more or less regular, with a 33-day cycle. I thought my period started about 5 days ago—right on schedule—but it hasn’t properly started since. I’ve only had some brown spotting on and off. Has anyone else experienced this? Any idea what it could mean?

For whoever may reading this and might be in the same position just did a test and got a bfp which was surely very shocking considering I have the coil in... just shows no contraception is 100% reliable

Well there goes my hope for using a copper coil after this pregnancy 😅

Yep I got pregnant while I had a copper coil. I'd had it in for 3 years. The nurse told me it had moved after a particularly heavy period.
She also told me she had delivered 2 babies that had the mirena coil in the placenta!

Congratulations op

Thank you although I don't think this is a pregnancy I will continue with unfortunately.
Was your pregnancy normal after they found out about the coil? I've been booked in at the EPU tomorrow for a scan to check the position of the coil and see what’s going on. Just feeling so overwhelmed at the moment.

Ah sorry to hear that 💜
I had a termination with that pregnancy.
I had a scan at 8 weeks and the pregnancy was progressing normally. I had the termination at 10 weeks
