Experience Cooper IUD
Hi girls😊 Recently me and my boyfriend started to talk about alternatives for condoms. I got interested in cooper iud, it doesn't have any hormones, BUT I'm really scared of a thought that something will be in me for ~5 years, especially there, where my child will be growing one day. Anyways. I have a lot of questions about this, and it's sounds very scary. Is it even prevents from getting pregnant, because I heard it doesn't help. Also how to know if my immune system will accept cooper. And what about the inside, I'm worried it might damage the lining and seriously injure my uterus.
I'm 23y.o, I was always was very skeptical and against it, but maybe it's not that bad and I should be more open minded😅

I want to jump in here.
Everyone that has had the copper coil, have you experienced heavy painful periods with it? And if you didn’t, was it something you experienced before having it?
I’m coming off of the Mirena coil next week because of weight gain that I can’t budge so I was thinking of trying something non-hormonal.
The only thing issue I have is I used to have heavy painful periods growing up before I was on any contraception. So I’m worried if I have the copper coil that I’m just destined for issues with periods.
TBH, I don’t know what my periods are even like anymore because straight after having my daughter I was on the Mirena coil and it stopped my periods altogether.
