I'm 23 years old, I had my IUD inserted after the birth of my son last year. Since I had it inserted took 6 months to start my cycle because I was breasting feeding. And all was well for awhile, until recently when every so often I would skip periods, every other month I'd get my period. Occassionally feel nausea, headaches, and tired. When I was pregnant I didn't have cravings, nausea, or anything. Been wondering if my problems are normal side effects of IUD. Don't want to have it removed, because we are pretty fertile in my family and not ready for a second child just yet.LOL

okay i have went to a few different sites now and have read the same things over and over. Now im really not wanting this iud in anymore. I have had a copper iud in for almost 2 years and lately i have been feeling pregnant(nausea, food cravings, belly feels tight, moody, back ache). i have gained over 10 pounds in a month and i can hardly fit any of my clothes anymore. I have taken 2 pregnancy test and the first came out invalid and the second was negative. Last night BEFORE i read anything i could swear i was feeling movement in my stomach. Im currently visiting my mom and have no insurance here to go to the doctors. I really want to be able to find out what is going on before it gets to worse Anybody have any ideas to be able to help me out?
this is my 2nd IUD, i had it inserted 4 months ago and i have a baby 8 months now. i have missed my periods for over 1 and half months!!! i feel nausea and i don't have the energy. i feel soo pregnant and am in biiiggg denial , kipping in mind that my little one is just 8 months, am sick to my stomach because i got no idea how i can cope. i haven't done any preg' test as yet! could i be pregnant???
i had my iud removed because of the same symptoms ..now i havent had a period in a month and had a pregnancy test and it was negative..and i feel worse then i did before
healthygina and others are talking about the cooper IUD, not Meraina. The cooper IUD, have some nasty side effects, like heavier, longer periods, some women become anemic, also, lower back pain, painful periods, and /or severe cramps.
Only the IUD that have some hormones help reduce the period.

I have the mirana IUD and it is known to cause pregnancy symtoms and I get them all the time, just took a prego test myself, I dont get periods. You need tomake sre the IUD is in place because if it's not then that can cause serious problems. Potassium would not really caue nausea, that effects ur heart more than anything. and stress is a factor. I wouldn't settle on menapuse yet.
Hello I have the 5 year marina IUD i think its the copper one. This is my last year on it and my symptoms are horrible, I spot for 10 days during my period and cramp the first two day which i never experiences before. I also am nauseous daily now after eating, I am thinking about removing it before MArch when its supposed to come out. Ive been feeling terrible and I think its the IUD. Prior to this last year my period would only last 3-6 days spotting no cramps nausea just a little bloat the week before. I need to get vthis thing out of me its making me ill.
Buy a pregnancy test, and find out
I'm in the same boat. I've had an IUD for 6 years and having misted periods, breast tenderness, cramping, gaining weight, headacks and very tired. This has been going on 2 weeks now. I took a pregnancy test today and came back negitive. Please keep me posted on your outcome.
