Recommendations for Copper IUD Aftercare

[br****]

Okay so this is kind of unrelated to kink; however I figured many women in the kink community would be able to relate to this experience. I got my copper IUD placed today, and it didn’t go well. It ended up being a much more intensive and complicated procedure this time, despite all the prep from the failed placement last month. Does anyone have recommendations on aftercare or *** management? I typically have a decently high *** tolerance and all I feel currently is like I’m going to vomit and pass out.

Ibuprofen (take 600-800mg), heating pads, and rest! Sorry you had such a rough experience.

[br****]

Ooo im sorry you’re having a rough experience. That sounds traumatic.
I do not do birth control well myself
I don’t really want more babies.
Iwas leaning towards the shot.
Do you mind me asking what where your reasoning for the copper IUD and if any others have any experience with options I would appreciate the advice. If of course that is ok I piggyback on your post

[Ni****]

Also an interesting note - according to AI, half of the providers use a preparation that has been proven through research to not help and actually make the procedure more difficult and ***ful.

[Ni****]

And sorry you're going through this - the ibuprofen comment is correct - it reduces the inflammation which reduces the *** receptors getting pressed.

The first time I had my placed I was in *** for about 24 hours. I did heat and *** meds. If it lasts longer than 24 hours I would call the doctors office or go to an urgent care. Sorry you’re going through this.

They’re supposed to warn you if you don’t have kids and get one placed. They suck to get used to. Keep an eye on it. Your periods will be MUCH heavier. If you feel tenderness or swelling for more than a week, you may need to have it removed. My first IUD was about when I was your age and I wound up having to take it out after a month. 🥴

The kids thing is also a myth, disproven by a major research study.

Copper does have a heavier bleeding side effect. Mirena is horomonal and can actually reduce period bleeds.

You are not a woman and I’m going to assume you don’t have a uterus. Why are you here

[Ni****]

The topic appeared in my feed. I know a lot about women's health from years of experience. Why does my presentation of factual evidence and firsthand experience upset you so greatly?

[Ni****]

I also didn't say anything against your comment or experience, except the part that wasn't fact-based and has been proven untrue.

[Ni****]

Key evidence note: While some older data raised questions about possible links to infertility in nulliparous users, well-conducted studies show no increased risk of infertility. IUDs do not cause pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) in women without active STIs at insertion.

Don't argue with me, argue with them. I am sorry you had a traumatic experience when you were young. Lashing out at me over factual presentation based on current medical evidence isn't the solution to your trauma.

I know you didn’t ask me, but…I went copper because it’s the most “natural” iud out of all the options. You still have to beware of copper poisoning. But the non-hormonal aspect seemed appealing to me.

“Don’t argue with factual presentation” while you argue with lived experiences is just plain stupid.

I got pregnant on that iud…

[br****]

@brutallybeautifull Thank you! I wanted a non-hormonal option, once placed it is also good for up to ten years. It also has the highest success rate at pregnancy prevention; but I’ve had various issues with hormonal options and I just feel so much better off if hormonal birth control. So I decided to go that route. It’s definitely not for everyone, it can make cramping and bleeding worse especially the first six months, many of my friends have had the procedure and have mixed reviews regarding it. But if you don’t want to be on hormones and want more protection than just a condom offers its kind of the only option

@NiceAndFirm If you’re going to keep stating things came from a study you need to actually cite the study. And not just read the abstract, but heavily analyze each section, especially their figures and methods. The problem people have with you being here is that the women in these comments are trying to be supportive of one another, your voice isn’t welcome not bc of your sex, but due to your hostility to women who have had anecdotal experience with this topic. Why people are upset is bc you are trying to invalidate their lived experience with “data”. That you also didn’t cite, and you’re also incorrect the null hypothesis wasn’t rejected, meaning if you haven’t *** the copper IUD is more likely to be more “***ful” which is already something hard to measure. You came in this comment section, to try to start fights, not be supportive of the women in it.

I struggled a lot with the *** from my coil as well I was expecting it because of all the research I did before getting it so for me it was never unexpected. It sucks that it is the best non hormonal option, I struggled a lot on the implant and had massive mood swings 😕 and then had a lot of trouble to get it removed and had to go to a specialist clinic to get it removed in the end as my doctor tried twice and couldn't do it 😅.

Honestly *** killers never really work for me so I didn't have much luck with them helping with the ***. I found that org*sms worked the best for me 🤣 obviously no penitration just cl*toral stimulation. I know that some women experience *** while org*sming after getting the coil due to the fact that it does contract the muscles as well as relax them so it doesn't work well for everyone unfortunately but I do recommend giving it a go 🤣.

I now tend to struggle with *** constantly on an off with my coil now even though my clinic has told me there is nothing wrong with my coil at all I can be in *** for weeks at a time 😅. So I do this regularly and at my worst it hurts sometimes to get there but then when I reach my peak the relief I feel from it relaxing my muscles helps so much.

I hope this helps even just a little because the *** does suck 🤣.

Female here 🙋🏻‍♀️I agree with you, from experience the mirena did reduce my bleeding, while I’ve never used the copper what you say still makes sense regardless of your gender. And I do agree that arguing with factual evidence based off of lived experience that is probably based off of lack of medical research at the time is a bit silly. I appreciate your comments, sir.

To be fair, he did cite the study, however it was an external link ,t allowed on the site, so it was removed.

It was a CDC study "Appendix B: Classifications for Intrauterine Devices"

 

That should be enough to find it with a google search

[Re****]

I had 4 babies naturally. And the *** having the mirena placed was worse than that. I almost passed out. The *** after was incredible also.

It should subside though and if it doesn’t go to the ER and not the one who placed it twice. Tylenol pm. Sleeeeeeeeep

[Mi****]

I had this happen the first time. They gave me Zofram and after 2 weeks everything leveled out. Some people’s bodies just reject IUDs so if it goes on longer than that I would consult your doctor.
