I've experienced the same thing that everyone is talking about here. I developed an odor right after I had a copper IUD put in. The only way I can describe the smell is my vagina smelled like bunker during and after sex. I went on a mission to find a solution for this problem as it was very embarrassing. After doing a lot of research I found a dietary supplement called Femanol. It's a lactobacillus acidophilus supplement with vitamin B1 B2 B6 Zinc and Biotin. Took 2 the first day and the next day the smell was completely gone. I bought it on amazon for $60 but well worth it. I am still going to strongly considering removing it though because the mood swings and crying outbursts are beyond me. I'm a very even keeled person so this emotional roller coaster is not something I can live with. I haven't even gotten to my first period on this. Can't wait to see how that goes. I might not even make it to that point if this crying nonsense over nothing continues. Hope this helps.

I've been looking into this problem for months. Ive had paraguard for a year and the smell would at first come and go. I also had a lot more discharge then normal. I had ask my doc about it and she has said discharge and smell was normal. BUT the cramping and pain wasnt. She put me on an antibiotic which did nothing for the discharge or smell.
I also noticed that they both would be really bad after my period until i ovulated and then they would tamper down until i got my period again.
Now even tho my doc said it was normal, i feel like its not. And my boyfriend says that it may be that the smell is because of the copper with the blood. But if people with the hormonal iud are having the same problem, maybe it's something different.
Has anyone figured it out!?

I've had the Copper IUD since April of 2014. I went from having 1-3 day periods with little to no cramps to 3-6 day period with writhing on the floor in pain cramps. The cramps are more "bearable" these days. I was really rooting for this thing: 10-12 year contraceptive, covered by insurance, no hormones. However the smell is embarrassing and fishy/coppery.
Thank you women for sharing all of your stories and tricks. I am bummed to have to remove it, but it is FOUL.

I have copper IUD and recurrent BV also. My doctor recomended using boric acid. This helped a lot. It comes in a powder form. I mix it with lube and water to make a solid and use a vaginal insert from a yeast infection kit to make a suppository. Weekly at night time. Hope this helps

Hello ladies I have had the same problems and I've had my Mirena now for over a year! I found something THAT WORKS to stop the smell after trying so many remedies! I have been eating a lot of fruit, Banana (breakfast) with a fruit juice, snack on fresh pineapple through the day, I'll eat a normal lunch with a fruit juice ( prefer Dole banana, orang, pineapple cans) I also drink lots of water! No sodas! I am now smell free and back to normal! Hope this works for all of U! My BF says I'm even sweeter than before it happened in 2weeks!!

I'm disgusted with myself.

Hi, well this foul smell happened to me too. I have taken the KID now for about a month and the smell is not as strong but it comes back from time to time. It is embarrassing I also too all the STD tests and regular bacteria test 2 times before deciding to take it out. I had a year of this ... I hope it goes away soon the smell, I can't have any sex because of this.

Same thing is happening to me currently! I have never had a problem with feminine odor. I got the Mirena IUD in September 2015 so I've had it for over a year. The smell started after a couple weeks and it still is terrible. It's like a weird, foul, ammonia smell but I can always smell it on myself and it's embarrassing. I carry summers eve wipes everywhere I go and I have to change my panties right when I get home. I hate it so much. One thing that helps me alleviate the smell is wearing regular tampons on a daily basis which is annoying but it works to get rid of the smell. I also have a summers eve cleanser at home but it doesn't seem to help much once I'm working out, going to work, or just doing normal day to day things. I had a pap and a pelvic exam and it came back normal. I talked to my OB about it and she said its normal and it's probably something I'll have to deal with if I want to continue with the IUD. Before sex I wash myself and make sure I'm fresh because it is embarrassing and I don't want my husband smelling it. He says I always smell fresh and clean and I told him because I always make a huge effort lol. I seriously wish it would go away!!!
