YES! It's an ammonia smell when it's at its worst. Otherwise just spicy B.O. I've had two swabs taken. No bacteria, no yeast, no STD. Must be the IUD.

Omg yes! I got the copper IUD about eight months ago and at first I didn't experience any funny odor or discomfort. Three months later my only complaint was the heavy period, till recently I noticed a funny odor it does smell like ammonia so of course I freaked out! Also there's like this discharge but I doesn't happen everyday nor does the smell it's like 5 times a month? Anyway so I made an appointment with my OBGYN, and she told me this is a normal symptoms for women who have never had children and have the COPPER T! Ugh I really do love my IUD because the pills just don't work for me ... Anyway good thing I'm not the only one! I try to use the EVE deodorant powder and shower with the EVE Ph Balance wash to reduce any chances of odor!

So glad I found this!!
I got the Mirena (allergic to copper). Now I have cramps all the time! Sex is painful almost 2yrs in. Orgasms hurt....like being stabbed with each spasm. I sweat like a beast and have "that" odd odor. Told my husband he is going under the knife because I am over this!

It really is unfair, we're trying to do something positive and be safe and pro-active, and yet we have all these crazy complications to deal with. I've had the Mirena for about 6 months and had that foul odor since o had it put in! My "periods" are just spotty light day tampon kind of periods, but yes, I won't let my bf come near my goodies because no matter how much I shower and freshen up its still so "stinky" and I feel gross. I have also experienced SERIOUS weight gain. Like, 20 lbs since I've been on it in 6 months :(
I am allergic to the pills- I'm almost to the point of just getting my tubes tied :/
Thoughts?

After reading all of these posts, yes I totally agree it comes from the IUD. I had a copper seven and I hated the discharge and the smell. I hate going to the doctor so I researched to see if I could take the iud out myself. Guess what, it wasn't that hard to pull out. The smell is totally gone and I have a very small discharge, which is probably normal. One thing about the copper seven, when the prior one was removed the doctor discovered that the copper had started to break down. He had never once seen that happen before. The one I pulled out myself was also breaking down. I tend to be acidic and wonder if that is what causes the copper to break down.

After reading this I am scheduling an appointment with my obgyn to have my IUD removed, I've been having this foul runny discharge for months now, i have done consecutive pap scans and all came out with nothing, i thought for a minute that maybe my partner might have passed some nasty sti to me but nothing. i have been feeling less and less confident with my partner i dont even allow him to go down on me because I'm just scared he will feint from that horrid smell. I've had my IUD for almost 2 years now and since last year May the smell keeps getting stronger and stronger, I've tried all soughts of vaginal cleaning, I've even douched even when I was advised not to but still, no luck, I've tried PH balancing, anti soap anti fragrant vaginal creams with no success, it would work for the 1st 3 days or a week before my periods but as soon as i finish my periods it is as if nothing ever happened still smells like a rotting fish tank. so today I'm having this removed so i could be able to be myself again, maybe when the bad smell has disappeared I'll re-insert it again, I wont lie it is the best contraception I've ever had fail safe, but just that nasty rotting whale smell.

Yes that damn Merina, I got it inserted about a month ago and I can't stop smelling that disgusting order not to mention I've also gotten BO! My armpits rarely smell and now I can't stop smelling myself even if I shower everyday. I also haven't completely ended my period since getting it, made my appointment to remove it tomorrow and I can't wait because I'm literally smelling it over my jeans and shirt! I was never a smelly girl.

So, I had my IUD inserted may last year. Few weeks ago,I realized I have a metallic smell that gets worse with menses and intercourse.
Today I went for checkup, the midwife said he had never heard anyone complain of the metal smell. I told him I wanted it removed,and the IUD was half black in colour because it was halfway out. He thanked me for going in,and said he learnt something new today.
I feel so relieved right now.So anyone experiencing this metalic smell,you might consider having a check up.
