A member asked:
I recently got the paragaurd iud. it's been about 2weeks&i am still getting cramps.. would copper interfere with my nickel allergy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, it shouldn't : If you remember the periodic table from your HS chemistry class they are different chemical elements and your having a problem with nickel does not portend a problem with copper.
