Copper IUD was a life saver! You might have heavier periods BEWARE but aside from that and more cramping it is great. I took the pill for 4 years and I experienced excruciating migraines and some mild weight gain. (Like 10 lbs) I’ll take cramps and heavier bleeding than the pill any day. It was worth it and no reminders of taking a pill everyday. 10/10 recommend.
Here’s my Insertion note: take ibuprofen beforehand. Stay still and don’t freak out when they put it in. The biggest piece of advice is stay calm. It will feel uncomfortable and possibly some pain for a millisecond. Don’t let it turn you away, it is worth it! Let it settle. Your first period is going to feel weird but after that it will get better.
Weird in what sense? :(
Thank you for ur feedback. Are you having any problems yet?

Hi, any update about the IUD? Was there a time when you felt you got pregnant?
I have been having heavy periods with the copper coil and bad cramps for 2 years now, besides I get pain during sex. This can work for some but definitely not for all. I've only left it in because I am not keen on the idea to have extra hormones in my body. Especially because I was on the pill for many years before. The doctor however suggested that I should consider the IUS instead.
I got my IUD today. I got the Kyleena since I haven't given birth! I took 800 mg of ibuprofen before hand and ate a light meal as well. It's definitely not a pleasant experience, however I didn't find it to be as bad as many other people experience. I jumped when the IUD was placed! It felt like a sudden period cramp. She needed to measure me twice because of that jump. I had bad cramps for about an hour after but now I'm doing great. I hope this can help.
This helped so much!! So many comments makes it seem like someone is gonna jam a knife up there. Getting mine soon 🤞
Sarah Swood just relax and take deep breaths. You’ll be ok. You’re a strong woman!
Kira Tuba I tried to get the iud in with two separate appointments. The doctor was having a very difficult time trying to insert it, even after i took cervix dilators. The doctor said I probably have an abnormally shaped uterus and that’s why it wouldn’t go in. So bummed out bc I really wanted the iud 😫
Sarah Swood I’m sorry to hear that :( My doctor told me if she wasn’t able to get it in that she would refer me to somebody else. I really hope you can find something that works for you!
Kira Tuba I got the iud! Long story short, my cervix is just super tight and rock hard, nothing wrong with my uterus. Took a double dose of cervix dilators, and boom it’s in! The pain only lasted 30 seconds and it felt like an extremely intense period cramp. But afterward it felt just like regular period cramps. It’s so worth it for 5 years of protection!
Im here today because my gf is having this done

The no pain comment is bullshit
Im here today because a mate said his arsehole was stretched and I’m intrigued what is more painful
I love my copper IUD now but doctors massively downplay the pain that comes with insertion. It’s inhumane honestly.
Just wanted to put out a more positive review for those curious about IUD's, before getting my copper IUD, I would terrify myself so much reading all the horrific reviews online, so I think it is's important to also give opposing examples.
My experience with the insertion was completely fine, no pain whatsoever, and I didn't have any anaesthetic, it was just a slightly odd feeling. It really helped me to have someone there with me to talk to, and I also took naproxen 30 minutes before hand which I think really numbed a lot of it. It also of course can depend on your gyno, my doctor was brilliant and calm and talked me through it. Another tip is to make sure you relax your muscles, this will only make the process easier, quicker and less painful. And Breath!!!!
I'd say the worst part was afterwards, as obviously you are going to experience discomfort and cramping, after all you are having a foreign object inserted into you. But make sure you stock up on painkillers, I'd suggest naproxen as it really numbs it all. Give it a chance to settle, be easy on yourself, and it 'should' go away after a week or two. I had mine put in just over a month ago, so it hasn't settled long enough for me to say anything about it long-term, but whilst I still experience mild cramping every so often, I haven't had any other issues, have had a period which was fairly heavy and painful, but that's to be expected. And I haven't got pregnant, and I hope it stays that way! The positives definitely outweigh the negatives for me, and I would do it 100 times over!
You have any updates on the copper iud please?
@@charlie-rosefortin3998 hi! It’s so funny reading this back knowing that I completely disagree with what I wrote a year or so ago hahaha… I had it removed unfortunately and now am on yasmin combined pill.
The pain I had from horrendous cramps constantly made it way too painful for me to put up with any longer and I had to get it removed:( but I’m sure it’s different for everyone. Good luck!
Also using naproxen was my biggest regret also as it’s such a strong painkiller that it caused me a lot of stomach issues and thinned my stomach lining, gave me gastrointestinal problems and as a result had to take even more medication and have a diet change to heal my stomach

@@rhiannonrose1148 damn, I have terrible anxiety about having this done. I just had mine put in yesterday :(
I had the copper IUD inserted 3 months ago. It was the most painful 1 minute of my life. Experienced cramping, light headedness for a few days, and spotting for a few weeks. I'm extremely fortunate that my periods last only about 4 days with no cramping, I was terrified that this would all change as heavy periods and intense cramping is the most common side effect. However, my periods have been quite normal, slightly heavier and lasting 1-2 days longer but no cramping. The gyno told me this just means that my body adjusted to the IUD quickly.
After remove IUD how many month get pregnant? Please tell me.
@@glorytalang3301 within that month of removal

Im considering copper IUD bcs the injections messed me up in a big way. I always had excruciating headaches, depression, yeast infection, my vagina is dry and painful sexual experiences. I stopped taking the injection and everything went back to normal but im still dry 😭😭😭 and it seems to be irreversible. The good thing it hasn't affected my fertility and my periods are back to normal. Hopefully the copper IUD will help. But why do we have to suffer this much? Contraceptives sucks
@@glorytalang3301 but I got pregnant after one year .
Hey girlys i got my iud 1 week ago i was soo scare to get it done because of all the bad stories but I actually had a good experience yeah it hurt but not ass bad as people say 😊if your scare don’t be 👍gooo gettt ittt💓
Thankyou for say that love xxx
I got my IUD today, The pain is tolerable once relaxed but i was nervous so it was a bit painful for me. I already have 2 girls (3 and 1 yo) i don't want anymore children and the pill was not working out for me anymore. I'm constantly forgetting to take it. I hope my next period is not as painful. Overall I'm very glad I did it. Let's hope it works for me. 🙏🏻🤞🏻🤘🏻
Hello, I’m just about to have Mirena coil fitted next week, I have two childrens but my period is getting heavier and heavier so that’s my reason for getting one but I’m very nervous for the whole procedure, just wondering how do you check the strings? (Does it really hang outside and your partner can feel it? And also how would you know if you get pregnant? Do I check with a pregnancy test after each time I have intercourse.
Many thanks. Xx
As a 22 year old woman, I just had my first gynecologist appointment last month on the 7th of October and it really went well. Before, I was so nervous about this appointment that it caused me stress and my period was 5 days late because of it. But everything went perfectly well and the female doctor I had was so sweet and nice and she was very gentle of checking my area. It literally was like 10 minutes I was in the room for the exam and I didn’t think it be that quick. I was so nervous for nothing. After my exam, the doctor showed me many different types of birth controls and she mostly suggested me the IUDs. I had to think about it and now I’ve decided to take an IUD. My fiancé and I do want to be parents someday, but I wanna have the IUD in me for at least a couple years until we’re ready for a baby. Growing up, I’ve always said that I want to have my first child at 23 years old cuz that’s the same age my mom was when she had my older brother. But my dad considered that I’d wait a few years for that to happen. So that’s what I’m gonna do. I just asked my stepmom if she can call the same doctor to put an IUD in me the next time I see her and she said she’ll give her a call and let me know. 😊
I'm in the U.S., but I'm glad for the video. It calmed me greatly.
Hi
how painful was it
@@gingernutpreacher I barely felt a thing. Just a tough, a hint of pressure, then she said it was done. It's not painful.
@@thediabeticpup i know some one said she swore repeatedly with the pain
@@gingernutpreacher each person's tollereance is different. But if you breath, and don't panic, you'll be okay. Pain is life, you just need to ignore it.
What the fuck am I doing here?
I’m neither a woman nor in a relationship.
ARE U KIDDING ME IM GETTING THIS DONE SOON and THE SIDE EFFECTS LILE WEIGHT GAIN AND ACNE AND OVARIAN CYSTS I ALREADY HAVE ACNE AND I DONT WANNA GAIN WEIGHT😭 I’m so off put
Weight gain true
The copper iud has no hormones I liked it. No weight gain, no acne, no mood swings. My periods got longer or sometimes no period at all. I definitely recommend the copper iud over hormonal.
How was ur experience
I’m trying to decide between copper and mirena. I’ve never heard of the Kyleena. I’m going to look it up!
Kyleena is smaller and less hormones. Newer too (2017 it was available to the market)
When I had my IUD put in, it was the most uncomfortable thing I have went through. The nurses said to me "it'll be light cramping"- it really wasn't !!!!!! Please take some strong painkillers before getting it fitted!!!
Yes, it was the most painful thing I have ever experienced in my life when it was placed and for hours later. I almost could not stand from the pain
They always lie about the pain, most girls pass out

I only took 500mg paracetamol 10 minutes before, big regret x)
Copper IUD was exactly what I wanted. (NO HORMONES, very effective, long lasting, no reminders)
I finally got it today! I was extremely nervous. During the insertion; It felt a little uncomfortable & the actual insertion to the uterus, felt like a period cramp. I would much rather take that over pregnancy ANY day.
I didn’t take painkillers before my appointment nor after but I heard it helps…
It gave me copper toxicity
@@Shiro92224 right that’s what I was thinking?
Hey girl I was wondering if it some how triggered ur smell down there and threw off ur imbalances idk any think at all about the copper iud but somehow I’m worried it will have me smelling like copper smh😫🤣. I’m the type to take care of myself. Let me know and thank u!

I'm on my third mirena. It is FANTASTIC. It does suuuuuck having it inserted, but worth the peace of mind.
Have you had 3 because you use them until they run out?
Same here had my 3rd one fitted today bit uncomfortable but brilliant 👏
@@Keebzoo they are good for 5 years, so they have to be switched out. Worth it though, I have far fewer side effects with it than I did with the pill
Any weight gain???
No wait gain at all but I'm already dieting! past Yr 3 stone lost. Had all mine run out and new one fitted straight away x
getting an iud inserted was the single worst medical experience of my life but its definitely no one's fault-- i hadn't eaten that day save for some coffee and one (1) candy and i have a very weird relationship with that area in my body, and the stress, pain, and poor caloric intake i ended up vomiting and having the worst reaction my doctors had ever seen. im still recovering from it days later but from everything ive heard itll be so worth it for the peace of mind if nothing else.

I had the copper iud placed in 2011. I only had it for 8 months. I had to take it out because my periods got worse. I got my period at age 12 and never had cramps, but that iud changed that. Smh it also gave me rectal spasms.

How long does it take to be effective I heard 3 to 7 days or is it instant. We wouldn't want to slip on black ice now would we?
had mine fitted today took some ibuprofen and paracetamol before and had some food and honestly i didn’t feel a thing, the speculum was probably the most uncomfortable part, had a few cramps afterwards but nothing that required pain relief and only a little spotting, i got myself worked up beforehand as i heard so many horror stories but for me it was absolutely fine, had my smear before the iud was fitted aswell and honestly that was more uncomfortable
Did you spot in the first month?
@@kadeidrablack4880 no i didn’t spot but iv only had a two week break between periods but my doctor said that’s normal for the first 6 months as i had the copper coil

I am using an IUD for de past 5 years with no problem. i noticed sometime ago that the tread holding de device is removed leaving de device inside. pls can it be removed witout the tread??
I got mine yesterday it was terrible...but I'm feeling the threat is that normal?
I just got my first ever IUD inserted on Nov 18, 2022.
My appointment was at 1pm. I left at 4:30/4:45pm.
Think of it as the worst cramp you’ve ever had x10.
I got the non-hormonal one that lasts 10 years.
The doctor had me stay after because I went pale and was getting dizzy.
After 45 mins-and using the bathroom and getting crackers and iced water in my system. I was back to normal.
Since the 18th, I’ve been having heavy spotting, granted my period is supposed to start on the 23rd-so tomorrow. I’ll update.
updates?
thank you for sharing
Updates?
I wonder if a copper iud could effect your body causing auto immune problems. I think you can keep them up to ten years in?
The mirena coil is the best thing ever invented! Iv had my 3rd one fitted today bit uncomfortable getting it done sharp cramp when inserted. The speculum hurt worse and and opening me up lol. Afterwards few cramps on and off but ok with painkillers and bit of bleeding, then my periods stop 😁 totally brilliant device for me but everyone is different it's worth giving it a go and can also be removed if you don't like it.. pheww felt like I was advertising the mirena 🤣🤣 good luck 👍 xx
@@shakira-a I have the odd spotting occasionally but that's about it
@@shakira-a a few to begin with. The first few days after fitting heavy bleeding few cramps but it's worth it because then I don't have periods. It's brilliant 👏
Hey, thank you for your review. I just had the copper inserted yesterday. And I'm feeling quite anxious about it all, it looks like you wrote your post to roughly 7 months ago, how are you doing today with it? If you don't mind me asking

Do these coils get slimey like slimer?
Can anyone here with experience or anyone that knows about the IUD say that the IUD is really safe and effective and i should not get nervious my partner have the IUD. But im still nervious. 😔
I've had mine for 6 years and have been fine. Not going to lie, it hurts getting it inserted and every few cycles I have almost labour pain cramps, but it's still the best option for me.
Am missing my uid for 3 days, I do not feel the thread, what to do? Please help
Go to the doctors
The strings most likely just tucked up inside the cervix.. I'm sure it's fine.
Can I get it removed earlier if I want to or do I have to wait the full 3/5 years?
yes,you can remove it at anytime.

I want to look into the copper one what was the pricing you thing?
Depends on your insurance. Some insurances doesn’t cover the cost which runs around $2,300 and most doctors want to have an ultrasound done additionally to make sure the IUD is in the right place. Some hospitals offer grants to help cover the IUD and insertion but do not cover the ultrasound which is around $240
60 euros in Belgium plus 2 or 3 consultation fees
In Italy,I do it for €150 not including the device.
Mannn that shit hurt when I got it done the first time on God I had the hormonal IUD
Please read about the faults with the Mirena IUD before it is forced into you. There are a lot of law suits in the USA against the makers of this device and the company has already paid out $12 million in compensation.
While removing copper T is that painfull
Yes is painful
I know a friend who is also an IUD user. It's been over a month now. She is having weird experiences which are actually scaring me now. For the past few days, she is having swear cramps. Also, brownish discharge from her vagina. She had really bad crams during her last periods. She is 100% sure she is not pregnant as she didn't have sex. What are these signs for?
The brownish discharge is old blood 🩸 and the cramps are pretty normal
I got mine in about 3 weeks ago, i had to take pills and put them in my vagina thing to make it more stretchy cause i havent had a child yet🤪 anyways i got them in and the doctor didnt tell me about the side effects and they were these “you may have cramps, like youre giving birth or having a miscarriage, the period might also start.” And more but i had those for 5 hours before i went to the hospital again to get me checked and more painkillers. The day after i went back to the hospital to get the uid in and it hurt but i had been crying all night so i got used to more pain and all my tears were out so i didnt cry. I had a bad experience with it but its okay now, im happy with it in and yes i get pain in my back but im happy. And its definitely worth it i think.
Is it okay to missed a 1month period ? I used Copper IUD by the way
see medical advice ASAP to check why
It's not normal. Go and ask a doctor.
Yes it fine. They say you might not have periods at all
How many months I have to wait after an copper iud removed
To get pregnant
You should be able to get pregnant at your normal rate immediately after
Immediately
@@fareenaliaqat4642 lies. You are fertile immediately. Copper IUD is non hormonal and does not interfere with fertility.

Is it safe for unmarried girl ( teenager)
Biology student here. Yes it's completely safe to use provided your sexual partner doesn't have STD since these can't prevent them. If you have multiple partners, usage of condom is heavily recommended.
Copper IUD become effective right away that is you can have unprotected coitus the next day however they can cause heavier bleeding during periods which generally lessen over time.
Hormonal IUD on the other hand takes 4 to 7 days to become effective and cause irregular periods at the start and later might even stop periods all together which some women consider as an added benefit. The reason for this is that Hormonal IUD release progesterone hormone which is responsible for holding of the endometrial lining of the uterus.
TLDR; If you're assured that you and your partner doesn't have any type of VD, then IUD is one of the best contraceptive method with a success rate of over 99%.
@@sinister2423 hi, condom shld be used when IUD is inserted and you have a single sexual partner?
@@indianbyheart705 If your partner or you don't have STI, then you can have unprotected sex.
I am unmarried and have copper one.( And no children.) I have heard for women that have not had children it is more painful to insert but I can't say from my experience.
But peace of mind is worth it to me.
It’s great 10/10 recommend. Best birth control on the market, and most effective next to abstinence. I haven’t had kids and insertion was uncomfortable but not unbearable.
I would rather have the pill or patch thats more better
I was thinking about getting the copper one but it's a deal breaker if it kills offspring that are already conceived / just not yet attached. 😫😫😫😫😫
Any other contraceptive you have in mind?
Just dont have sex for a week before and do a pregnancy test, you will be fine

theirs no pregnancy if theirs no implantation so no its not a form of abortion
@@st0ne.0cean95 fertilizatin already occurs its already a living human cell
jay S condoms are abortion too if we’re gonna go by that logic. If you were a woman wouldn’t you want to enjoy sex without having to worry about getting pregnant? Please gtfo with that ignorance. You could say periods are a form of abortion and that’s a natural process in the female body when an egg is not fertilized. Being a woman is pretty complicated and if guys screw up they can just leave, women have to bear the consequences of every action they take, so birth control is very important. An IUD Blocks the sperm from getting in. The copper IUD kills the sperm on the spot so no fertilization occurs. The hormonal IUD thickens the mucus. Both block the sperm from getting in. The added bonus of the hormonal is some women don’t get their periods. You don’t have to put much thought in aside from wrapping it up. Please understand that there’s a lot more of a permanent consequence for women when we want to do these things. Try to understand from a woman’s perspective, the things you do in life you take for granted is a permanent consequence for women.
@@beans9019 condom is not abortion because fertilization hast occurred yet. if you insist the ignorance term . you are rank 1 in it.
