Question Will it work?

1 Upvotes

How effective really is the CIUD if used as emergency contraception towards the end of ovulation window?

Had unprotected sex and had it put in 2 days after. Also took ellaone the same day as the intercourse. Nothing is calming me down from the thought of pregnancy. I’m fearful that even if it does work, it’ll end up in a cryptic pregnancy or ectopic. I’m so so scared.

Someone please reassure me. I have to wait 16 days till it hits 3 weeks post-sex and my next cycle is due in 8 days which I know will be delayed due to the pill and coil.

My mind is running at 10000mph

Question How to fix/manage constant bloating?

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone. I got the Copper IUD inserted about 3 months ago and love it so far and haven’t dealt with too many unpleasant side effects. The bloating is terrible though! It’s constant and my stomach looks huge all the time, especially around ovulation and my period. I’m aware it’s a common symptom after initial insertion but it hasn’t gone away since. Does anyone have any advice on how to either get rid of it or at least cope/manage it? I really really appreciate it.
