"i&#039;ve had 2 cooper iud&#039;s. the first one for 6 years and in the end i got it removed because i developed thyroid disease and read the copper iud may be related to that. i really never knew for sure but i noticed a drastic change after i got it removed, i eased up on panic attacks i was having, and just felt so much better. this second experience though was frightening, i got it placed an two weeks after i got pains that were exactly like birth pains. i got it removed today and literary felt better immediately. oh my god!!! no question about it. the copper iud does not agree with my system and i urge every woman to read other peoples experience. the copper iud is poison."
