Does copper coil (IUD) cause headaches?

I really want to give the copper coil 5* but due to heavier periods that are difficult and sometimes inconvenient to manage, I can't rate the IUD as a perfect form of contraception for me, yet. However, I am hoping that my periods will get lighter as the months go by. In the 4 months of having the coil fitted, I have had two heavy periods and two almost unmanageable periods where super tampons, heavy flow pads and super absorbency period pants have been changed after a couple of hours max. On such days, I wear all three at the same time for protection! However, I am very happy with the copper coil with regards to side effects. It is great feeling like a natural woman without being influenced by artificial hormones. I have a normal sex drive, I have not put on contraception weight, I don't have any issues with spots and I am not bleeding in between periods. I am happy to stick with the copper coil, as the advantages outweigh the inconvenience of the heavy bleeding. With regards to the fitting of the coil, I was 2 months postpartum, so insertion was straight forward without any pain relief. My cervix had already been traumatised just weeks before, so the insertion wasn't anything to shout about. I also had if fitted on a period, which was easier for the doctor, as my cervix was lower and easier to 'find'. Whether you are having it fitted postpartum or not, if possible, I advise that you have it fitted on a period to help insertion be that little bit easier. I hope to come back here to change this form of contraception to 5 stars within the year.

After being told the waiting list was nearly 3 months to get a copper coil fitted I decided to go private. The overall cost to have it fitted was just over £400. The insertion process was fine, I had the numbing injection so that helped with the pain it was still sore but no where near as bad as I thought. Unfortunately after only 24 hours my body expelled the IUD and it was half way out and I could feel it. The strings felt as though they were stabbing me from the inside and I couldn’t sleep. It took several days to be seen by my GP and had to have it taken out. They did warn me that there is a risk of expulsion and sadly I’m part of the 10%. I was going to try again but the feeling of the strings inside was very uncomfortable so I don’t think I would have been happy with it anyway.
