Does copper coil (IUD) cause dizziness?

I know people’s experience differ greatly from insertion, to side effects and even removal, but I guess I was one of the unlucky ones… the insertion was extremely painful and also a very odd experience. I felt extremely faint, and nearly passed out during it. I couldn’t get off the bed for an hour afterwards as I felt like my legs were going to give in. After leaving the room, I had to sit in reception for another 30mins to ensure I won’t pass out on public transport. Also I have never heard of cervical shock/vasovagal syncope, nobody has ever told me about this. I think it should be explained before the procedure. I had very bad cramps for 3 days. On the first night I had another episode of feeling like passing out and shaking violently as if in shock. It was terrifying but I was determined to give it a good go. I had some mild cramping on and off for the rest of the time I had it in and a dull ache at the times I wasn’t cramping. I could also definitely feel it was in there… especially during workouts. My period wasn’t heavier but it lasted 7 days straight and kept spotting until it was taken out (my periods usually last 3 days). 3 weeks after insertion I had another episode of ‘shock’ accompanied by extreme pain, so I had to lie on the floor for an hour and then go to A&E to see if it could have got dislodged as the pain was very severe. They couldn’t do a scan even after a 9hr wait as the registrar wasn’t available so hoping for the best I decided to wait until 3 days later when the clinic had availability for removal. The removal hurt just as much as insertion but for a shorter period of time, and only felt slightly faint for a bit afterwards. There were some cramps for the next 48hrs but more bearable (like a light period) and some spotting. I knew I was feeling unwell while it was in, but only once it was taken out did I realise just how much pain I was in constantly. I wish it worked, and it’s great it does for some people but it was not for me. :(

Getting the coil in was fine, obviously wasn’t the most comfortable thing but my nurse was amazing and I didn’t feel much pain. The next day I had period like cramps then they went away with some ibuprofen. Sex drive was so increased and boobs have grown bigger, only down fall is the periods are quite painful but that was outlined to me in my consultation and it was my choice to receive it. Everything else has been perfect.
