Hi all, I havent posted here for some time as my ha has been under control, feel so much better, my only nagging doubt is I had a copper IUD fitted 16 months ago and since having it I have had a lot of spotting, I have more days spotting than not, now I know deep down it is the IUD causing it but I am to scared to go to the drs in case its something serious, I have read that the copper IUD causes inflammation in the uterus which causes the spotting and heavy periods, I have tried a few herbal remedies but they don't seem to work maybe I don't give them long enough, I fimnd ibuprofen seems to lessen it but I don't want to keep taking pain killers, so if anyone has any advice it would be appreciated. Thanx Herbie xxx
