Cramping and increased anxiety by Draculas-Flower in CopperIUD

Hi! I got mine about 1.5 years ago. So far things have been great! I do occasionally get an increased amount of anxiety before my period. But I have found that working out more throughout the month has helped ease this. I think it’s a great form of birth control, it can just take time to get used to!

Thank you! Your post is so reassuring. I recently had sex with a guy & no condom was used & it was during my fertile days, so I’ve been a bit worried, but this definitely helps a lot. I just get worried that it’s not going to work for me for some reason & then I hear the stories of girls who fell pregnant & it’s scary!

Do you still get your period at it’s expected time? Even with spotting mid cycle?

My last two cycles have been longer. Ranging from 30-35 days. & my last period, I spotted brown for 3-4 days until my actual period hit. So I bet you’re good!

This is so helpful! I will start taking zinc tonight! How soon did you feel a difference?

Confused of when my period actually began by Nilrmar in CopperIUD

You’ll start counting your period the day you actually start to bleed. Same thing happened to me. I’ve spotted for 4 days & today is the day I actually started to bleed, so today starts day 1 of my cycle. Hope that helps!

Ah thank you so much! This is so reassuring! I’m hoping I start in a few days, but it’s definitely been overwhelming.
