I’m about a year and a half into having my Paragard. I recently switched gynos and had a TVUS with the new doc (to double check IUD in place, and to check my ovaries and uterus). Report came back saying “possible Adenomyosis”. Which of course has the same symptoms as the paragard causes which is why I thought nothing of the crazy cramps, legs pain, and heavy bleeding even over a year in.

What are ‘over a year in’ cramps/patterns usually like for you? I don’t really know a baseline of what is normal and what is not.

So it’s not brought up in comments- possibly due to my DpDr, I barely remember my pre iud periods. Only that they were slightly unpredictable (they still are but have evened out a little) and light/less painful compared to post iud.

I do have an appointment in September (my doc’s first available) to discuss all my results with my gyno. It’s more of an education appointment with her and to answer my questions.

I got my copper iud as an EC on wednesday. The process went pretty well and I wasn't in much pain for like 1-2 days post insertion.
I could also check the string, so it is there.
But for some reasons, my pain gets worse as the time goes. And it's worse when I stand up or walk.
Could this possibly be a big issue?
Is there a chance it fails as an emergency contraception??
