What problems could I have from my IUCD?

• The chances are that you will be happy with an IUCD although, as with anything in life, problems do occasionally arise.
• Your IUCD could result in pelvic pain, irregular vaginal bleeding and heavier periods. The IUCD is one form of birth control that can be associated with heavy periods.
• The device may be expelled by the uterus and, if you are not aware that this has happened, you could inadvertently have unprotected intercourse with the possibility of pregnancy.
• Copper IUCDs are associated with a risk of pelvic infection (Q 20.2).
  
  
• Very rarely, the device may perforate the uterus and end up inside the abdomen (one in a thousand chance).
