Copper coil (IUD) and decreased sex drive

Seriously heavy periods (wearing nightime pads and a tampon and still bleeding through my clothes in like an hour) and sometimes extruciating cramping. A lot of spotting between periods also which I've never experienced before. Nurse has told me that the coil should not affect my bleeding and I've gone straight from the mini pill to this so it may have been that the pill was improving my regular symptoms more than I realised.

More research is needed! I had no issues with my first coil, following my second baby I had one re fitted and first few years were fine, for the 7 years I had it I have bled constantly for 4 years my fallopian tubes are full of fluid and the pain was horrific. A private consultant took the coil out 4 weeks ago and literally stopped bleeding the day after, I have had my first recognisable period in 4 years and it lasted for 4 days. Don’t wait to have it removed if you are having issues.

1 year + of heaviest periods and cramps covering 6 days. Most of my time complaining about the pain which led to moodiness. Had it removed after 2.5 years and now on a combined pill. Feeling much better. Good if you forget to take pills though
