Spotting, Stomach Pain, Tender Breasts, Unprotected Sex. Paraguard Inserted. Normal Symptoms?
I had a paragaurd inserted 16 days ago or so. It was done during my last period. It is now 2 weeks after the last day of that period and I have been spotting the last couple of days and have had what I can only describe as a stomach ache for the last couple of days too. My breasts are very tender. My stomach cramping and aching feels different than the cramping I felt after insertion. Is this to be expected? I had unprotected sex on the 6th day after insertion.

Hi,
Welcome to HCM,
ParaGardd is a intrauterine copper contraceptive device.
In a regular menstrual cycle of 28 days, ovulation generally occurs on 14th day.
As it is your ovulation time, some of your symptoms can occur due to ovulation.
Although, in women using IUD, pelvic inflammatory disease is uncommon, but it associated with relatively increased risk.
Pain and bleeding can occur due to embedment or perforation also.
The highest incidence of PID occurs within 20 days.
You should visit your health care provider to check that whether the IUD is in place or not?
Your doctor will check about possibility of PID also, and treat you according to findings.
Thanks for trusting Healthcaremagic and posting your query.
Hope you found my response to your query informative and helpful.
With good wishes,
Dr.Chandra Shekhar Sharma
