“The Copper IUD Connection
For some women, the copper IUD experience is without any significant symptoms, at least initially. However, for the countless women who do exhibit symptoms, especially psychologically, the default position of most OB/GYN's is to insist there could be no possible connection to the IUD, or that a copper IUD isn't going to increase the body's copper level. The copper IUD is promoted as a safe option because it's "non-hormonal". However, the full extent of copper IUD risks are not being disclosed to patients, and the product is certainly not as innocuous as those promoting it make it sound. “
“Copper builds up slowly in the body. For many women, symptoms often first begin appearing 2 or 6 months after insertion. For others, the time period may be much longer, years to decades, before they notice anything, or connect the dots. Side effects of the copper IUD as copper accumulates usually begin with increasing brain fog and fatigue, often paired with a racing mind. Eventually, once the liver is overloaded, copper will then start accumulating more in the brain, and severe shifts in personality can occur as a result of increasing bio-unavailable copper and calcium and changes in neurotransmitter production. The period 2 to 5 months post-insertion is a common time for many women when metabolism begins slowing and energy, behaviour, and reactions begin changing, especially with a tendency towards increasing depression and irritability. For some people, the simple decision to use a copper IUD can change their entire life trajectory, destroying important relationships, and beginning a cascade of health issues that can take many years to rectify. “
