    This is exactly how feel same symptoms and everything, anxiety, absolutely no sex drive what so ever, bloating and the feeling of never been off my period?? Cramps breast pains etc etc.  I’ve had mine in 2 and half years now and it’s the 3rd time I’ve had, however, this is the first time I’ve had these symptoms.  I’m 32 so it seems odd and coincidental that we are ‘suffering’ the same.  Please update how things go when you have it removed J I really think this should be made more public as the docs don’t seem to take any ownership for these side effects always telling me ‘it can’t be the copper coil as no hormones’???? You have made me feel a bit more at ease anyway good luck huni x
