IUD, no AF and strange symptoms
| Wed, 11-03-2004 - 6:59am |
I have had my iud for 2 years, never had a problem and have always been on time w/ af. This month about a week ago I woke up a few nights in a row with sharp pain in my lower left pelvic area, it was like that all during the night, but as soon as I got up, it stopped. I have felt like af was on her way for about 4 days, but I have had nothing but blood tinged cm. Any advice, should I just wait it out or call the doc, I hate to call when it is probably nothing, but at the same time, I hate sitting around and worrying if there is something wrong with me. TIA

Can you feel your strings? If you can and AF is due and the pain is gone I might just wait it out, otherwise I'd call my doctor. But really, it never hurts to let your doctor know what's going on that's what s/he's there for. Let us know how you're doing, ok?
Good luck,
Jill
This is only my 2nd month and 2nd period since I got my copper IUD... My 1st period was on time and normal (but quite a bit heavy for me) and then this month my period was 5 days late! Plus, so far my period has been very very light, basically spotting. But I have gotten a tiny bit crampy.
I was just curious if a copper IUD can affect my period like a mirena IUD or other hormonal BCs can?
I was off of hormones for about 5 months before getting the IUD and my period were normal (came when they were supposed and lasted the 'normal' length) all during that time..
I guess it could be my body still getting used to the copper and foreign object inside of it. No worries on my behalf though. I love my IUD!
