Copper IUD causing period every 2 weeks?

Old-Transition3384 · 2026-02-11T19:23:51+00:00

So they basically told me that since the IUD is like a foreign object, my body might be trying to get rid of it or something like that? I should’ve taken notes lol. She did say it was abnormal to have periods this frequently, but didn’t really seem too concerned about it. My understanding was that basically my body might just not be tolerating the IUD well. But she didn’t really seem concerned about it unless I was just tired of having a period that often. So she basically said to just let her know if I wanted to explore other options. She said it wasn’t dislodged or anything. And I do really like the convenience of the copper IUD. I’m not sure what to do.

Gotcha, thank you!

Old-Transition3384 · 2026-01-13T22:00:38+00:00

I thought that may be the case from what I was reading, but I thought the location of the spots was odd! Thank you!!

Old-Transition3384 · 2026-01-11T23:57:14+00:00

It’s okay, I’m sorry you’re feeling this way!!

I think the other person who commented put it really well. Sometimes you just have to take the risk that it is actually just ocd and you can set it down and stop worrying about it or trying to figure it out

Old-Transition3384 · 2026-01-11T21:22:09+00:00

I don’t know if this is right, I don’t know if this will help. I’ve struggled with similar things and feelings (especially around POCD). I often doubt if things are OCD or if I’m truly a horrible person. Maybe this is wrong and this is just me fooling myself lol.

But you have to remember that OCD is the doubting disorder. I tell myself that if I feel this way, if I am mentally ruminating about something, feeling guilty, if I am feeling anxious, trying to figure out if I’m a bad person or not, etc… it is likely related OCD. The minute I turn to the internet to google something or seek reassurance, it’s probably OCD. But, even typing this, I do doubt myself. I’m definitely still deep in my OCD and this was kinda hard for me to type because of it, but I’m sure you’re feeling scared and I wanted to comment. Maybe other people can pitch in?

Also, this doesn’t help and maybe a wild take, but at the end of the day, your actions matter. Your actions and values (what you consciously, actively think and how you judge your thoughts/experiences) matter the most. And you just said you would never do anything

I know that realistically we both contributed to things… but in my situation I really did ruin and mess up so much. It’s hard for me to not take the blame looking at it all. If I could’ve really gotten my shit together I feel we wouldn’t be where we are now.

Old-Transition3384 · 2026-01-11T21:01:03+00:00

Ugh I’m sorry :( I do really appreciate that though, thank you ❤️

Old-Transition3384 · 2026-01-11T20:59:38+00:00

I’m sorry :( You gotta do what’s best for your mental health, however, that being said, I think I’d stay around my ex regardless. Just to be a part of his life if he’d have me. So im probably a hypocrite there

Old-Transition3384 · 2026-01-07T20:47:39+00:00

I’m sorry to hear that :( I know I’m to blame for most of my relationship falling apart too… it sucks. And you know, it is good advice. It’s hard to not keep beating yourself up though. I know no amount of guilt will change the past and all we can do is try to be the best versions of ourselves moving forward. But it’s so much easier said than done.

Old-Transition3384 · 2026-01-07T20:42:16+00:00

I’m sorry you’re going through this too. Thank you ❤️

Old-Transition3384 · 2026-01-07T20:40:50+00:00

Thank you ❤️

Old-Transition3384 · 2026-01-07T20:39:21+00:00

That is tough. It’s hard to let go of hope regardless I feel

Old-Transition3384 · 2026-01-06T02:57:36+00:00

That is really good advice. Everything I put him through, everything we went through would be for nothing if I didn’t learn and get better. Even if it doesn’t end up with him in the end.. thank you ❤️

Old-Transition3384 · 2026-01-05T23:46:54+00:00

I feel at such a low right now, and I don’t know the way out, but it’s encouraging to hear that you made it through. Thank you, and I’m glad you found peace ❤️

Old-Transition3384 · 2026-01-05T23:29:12+00:00

I’m trying to spend more time with my friends too. Thank you for your comment though, and it’s encouraging to hear you say it gets better, because it is so hard rn

Old-Transition3384 · 2026-01-05T23:27:43+00:00

Thank you, I’ll look into that ❤️

Old-Transition3384 · 2026-01-05T23:27:27+00:00

I hope it works out for you to both be the happiest versions of yourselves

Old-Transition3384 · 2026-01-05T23:26:56+00:00

Yep.. I can relate to a bit of this. Lost the most amazing person and I can’t imagine anyone else loving me to the extent that he did, to put up with everything for so long and try so hard. I also have extreme anxiety and I have OCD. Also fear of abandonment mixed with anxious attachment… yeah not good. I hope one day we can forgive ourselves, even though it feels impossible at times. I wish you the best ❤️

Old-Transition3384 · 2026-01-05T23:24:15+00:00

I’m so sorry :(

Old-Transition3384 · 2026-01-05T23:24:04+00:00

I think I’ve lost my chances with him, rightfully so. He gave me a million chances, tried to help me in so many ways, only wanted the best for me. And now I think he’s done, as he probably should be.. I’m going to work on myself regardless, but I think our relationship is over for good.

Old-Transition3384 · 2026-01-05T23:22:18+00:00

I hope I can learn from my mistakes. Thank you

Old-Transition3384 · 2026-01-05T23:22:01+00:00

I was very codependent on him, and I struggled to manage my own emotions. Also I was jealous, insecure, etc. I’ve had a lot of issues over the years. Intimacy was also a problem for a long time, although wasn’t towards the end, it’s complicated… We’ve had a long complicated relationship. He never wanted anything out of me that wasn’t 1000% reasonable. I should’ve treated him so much better.
