[|Human|] Hi, I am currently have the copper coil fitted. I am 23 with no kids although want them when I am older. I have had the coil fitted for over 6 months now and my periods have been normal (albeit a lot heavier and painful!!) for the past 2 months or so, I have missed my period and have a tender abdominal and constant cramping. What could be wrong? I should also point out that I had a pregnancy test when I first missed my period and it was negative. I am engaged, only have 1 sexual partner for over 5 years and have no STD s (have been tested).
[|AI|]  Hi, The copper coil is a very effective (more than 99%) contraceptive method. Moreover, your pregnancy test is negative. So it is extremely unlikely that you are pregnant. If you have had home pregnancy test then get blood pregnancy test done as it is more accurate as there is a very small chance of the contraceptive method failure Can you feel the threads of the coil. Do you have vaginal discharge? Do you have urinary complaints? If the pregnancy test is negative then see gynecologist to make sure that the coil is in place and to evaluate for vaginal and urinary infection. If no infection and the coil is in place take progesterone to start periods. Some women do get cramps just before periods, and it is normal. The symptoms subside with the period. I hope I have answered to your satisfaction.
