My period was due about 3 days ago, since I got a copper IUD my periods have been very long and heavy but also very consistently on time. Since 4-5 days ago, I’ve been having intense cramping in my entire lower half much worse than it usually is, basically from the bottom of my ribs to my knees, plus a sharp stabbing pain kind of in my left hip bone that happens every time I move and isn’t going away. The pain’s leaving me doubled over and feeling sick, painkillers and heating pads aren’t doing anything, I have only had a single spot of blood, 2 days ago. Has my IUD potentially moved? Has anyone else experienced this? I can’t find anything online except articles listing period symptoms and explaining IUDs.
