Thank you for sharing your story, Sorna. I wish more doctors were aware of the dangers of the copper IUD and had more compassion and understanding. I suggest directing him/her to this post. My periods were so heavy to the point I had to wear a tampon and a pad just to Makesure I didn’t have any accidents everywhere. Also, I want to go hormone free but Im scared of trying natural methods as I never want to get pregnant, is this normal?

Been suffering from abdominal cramps at night, dry eyes, and vaginal dryness that seems to get worse with the days. My husband is complaining about the dryness and threatening to leave. Tried herbal remedies but nothing too effective. Still like Sahara desert if I don’t take them. I think I have symptoms of low progestogen or progestogen deficiency due to the copper coil. Hair breaking / loss or alopecia is happening.
Can you get Sebaceous Cyst on Labia Majora?
I’ve had depression and anxiety before the IUD, but nothing like the outbursts of complete anger and rage I’ve experienced lately. Now my period is almost continuos and very abundant beginning around the ovulation and continuing until the end of the cycle with unbearable cramps. I feel tired and bloated all the time. “The paraguard wont cause that,” multiple doctors have said to me. But it’s the only thing that’s different in my life. I’m bringing this article and its references with me.

At that point, I insisted on my IUD being removed because I had read that yeast can form a biofilm on the IUD. I began to realize just how run down and fatigued I had become by then–just absolutely exhausted and hopeless. After my IUD removal, I tried another 1 day yeast treatment, followed by a 7 day yeast cream. Running out of hope, and suspecting an underlying reason for my body’s inability to clear up this yeast infection, I went to see a naturopath in October 2017. She has me on a candida detox protocol, but she also suspects anemia as a cause for my fatigue.
What are the Signs and Symptoms of Sebaceous Cysts of labia majora?
Are you saying to make sure he give me meds for thyroid in case lab work come back normal. I do have brain fog and weight gain since my surgery. I haven’t had time to browse all comments, so apologies if this has already been written here.

I am blown away by the number of women who have experienced so many similar side effects of the copper IUD. I’m 32 years old and had mine inserted in February 2017. I was in a new relationship and while it was such a game changer , I went through 9 months of hell. While my period didn’t become crazy heavy, I experienced painful cramping for the first time in my life – and it starts a week before my period. I now spot in between periods – randomly. The worst part is…I knew/could feel my craziness but could not explain it or do anything about it.
Why you get Pimple on Vag after Shaving
It was an extremely lonely time as no one understands what you are going through, and it is hard to not feel as if you are losing your mind. What is really scary and disappointing is that doctors prescribe it to women without knowing the effects of it on our bodies. It’s been a long road but today I feel good again and I can only hope that more women become aware of the dangers of the supposedly ‘safe’ copper IUD. A couple of years later, I was in a relationship with a man who was not sure he wanted children, so I decided to get the Paragard. Can’t go wrong with non-hormonal birth control, right? Pregnancy tests indicated that I was not pregnant and therefore was not experiencing a miscarriage or ruptured tubes, but I did have an ovarian cyst, which I had never had before.

Ask for an ultrasound at least to start with, that would rule out nodules or goiter. I’ve been experiencing this for the last 3 years and no one knows why. For a while, I thought it was just me but everything gets stuck. Just glad I’m not alone with this issue.
Many people have to get treated more than once. It’s hard to get rid of, and communicable by body fluids so you should have your whole household treated. Then for the past 3 weeks have been bleeding and had severe pain, so thought nope its got to go.

Treating pinworms in the digestive tract is pretty easy with worming medicine, taken once and then two weeks later, repeated. Other people you live closely with may need to be treated too. Hi Taylor – these types of symptoms are very common with copper toxicity.
I have been diagnosed with Dysthymic Depression since 18 yo. I was and still am ADD, but symptoms HAVE worsened in the last 4 years. I am overweight and pre-diabetic; so I know that a lot of my fatigue and achiness is r/t to elevated blood sugar levels and inflammation r/t weight. I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and never connected it to the IUD.
In other words, if your itch is caused by something like genital herpes, these remedies may help but they’re not a replacement for the prescription medication you might need. Pubic lice can cause intense itching in the genital area. While pubic lice is mainly spread through sexual contact, it can also be spread through bedding, towels, and clothing.
When overdosed she says you can actually stop losing and maybe even gain. I just stopped losing and dealt with really weird sudden anxiety attacks in my gut that I couldn’t stand. I did manage to start losing again after she lowered my dose and it was summer and I was out mowing three times a week.
But the last 2 times this happened I felt useless and paralyzed. I needed assistance to get out and even then it felt like my lower back was going to break in half. My legs were going numb and it was horrible.
