Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
The Copper T IUD is a method of contraception that lasts up to ten years after insertion. It is 99% effective in preventing pregnancy and it does not contain hormones.
Women who use the Copper T may experience some side effects. One of the side effect of abdominal pain is what you are experiencing. You can take analgesics like Tablet.Ibuprofen 400mg after food to get relieved from pain.
Kindly check weather the threads are in place.
In case the pain doesn't subside, kindly seek medical help immediately.
Visit your doctor to check for signs of infection between 3-4 weeks after the contraceptive coil has been inserted.
Hope the information provided is clear.
Wish you good health.
