    Default COPPER IUD - Need help asap


    Hi ladies,

    Not had much response with last post so thought id try again I need some guidance.

    I had a copper iud fitted on the 14th June, i had unprotected sex last time on the 24th June I have done 2 preg tests both negative but i know its to early to tell... I plan on doing one this coming sunday which will be 2 weeks exact. I called the docs they said all they will do is a urine test as well so there is no point me booking an app yet.

    I was due for my period from the 29th June, but so far have only had LIGHT bleeding here and there, nothing to what I was expecting, people said you will bleed loads so much pain etc etc but looking on here, other people have copper iud fitted and have delayed or light periods. 1%

    To much info but at the moment I think I have a kind of urine infection, pain in my abdomen, pain when passing urine too, but I have bought some stuff from the chemist and some cranberry Juice so I dont think thats much to do with anything.

    I saw online about an eptopic pregnancy and people said you will have cramping and light bleeding so now im thinking do I have that!??! then I also heard if your around a week pregnant you will get light bleeding also .....

    Im so confused here, Its so annoying having to wait another week to test ... I heard this is 99% effective but what if i am that 1%

    I recently had the copper IUD inserted as well. I haven't had my first period since but I was actually on my period (the third day) when I had it placed. To my surprise my flow did not get heavier, it got lighter. By the end of the first day it was considerably lighter, almost not even blood anymore. This light "discharge" continued until the last day of my period. Also, cramps have been virtually nonexistent. Like you, I expected the usual side effects and was a little concerned as to why they weren't as bad as commonly described. I can't offer any insight as to why you have a possible urinary infection but as far as the light bleeding just know that [apparently] it happens but it doesn't necessarily mean you are pregnant. Good luck!
