Copper IUD Hell??

Hi everyone,
I have never posted to a forum before but feel compelled to as i am currently needing advice.
Two weeks ago I had the Copper IUD inserted. Insertion itself was fine, however afterwards and for the rest of the day and evening i had awful cramping, so much so i had to go to bed for the rest of the day, as lying down seemed to ease the pain. This cramping got slightly better as the week went on and by day 3 i felt fine.

However I have just gotten my first period and it has been horrible. I am on day four and am still having awful period pains which have resulted in myself being up to my eyeballs with ibuprofen/ paracetamol and bed bound. Tried most period pain relief tablets with no success. So have been in bed for most of this period. I was warned this may happen but did not expect it to be THIS painful.

I am wondering if anyone else has experienced this and whether there is light at the end of the tunnel, i.e does this get better the more periods i have?

I am seriously considering taking this out although i know that hormonal contraceptives also don't agree with me (have taken both combined and mini pill and suffered with constant nausea throughout both) yet nausea seems more desirable than being bed bound each month.

Any advice would be much appreciated !!!!
Thanks
