Copper coil (IUD)

I chose the IUD as I get aura from migraines so can’t take the combined pill. The progresterone only pill made me have a 5 week long period and I liked the fact this had no hormones in. A bit painful getting it put in (nothing major though – short sharp pain and then a dull pain for a few hours after) I had heavier periods but no other side effects. HOWEVER then after 2 years I started to get excruciating cramps to the point where I couldn’t stand up. I went to get it removed and they couldn’t locate it. The little bugger had lodged itself to the lining and I almost had to have surgery to get it removed (the 5th doctor I saw finally found it after an ultrasound and prodding around for over an hour) the worst experience of my life. I have 2 other friends this happened to as well (sudden onset severe cramps after a while of having it with no issues) Definitely not worth the pain this caused me. It was absolutely awful!!!
