high copper levels also make sense in the heavier menstrual cycles being reported, and could absolutely affect fertility. They don’t make copper IUDs for no reason.
Copper ions are associated with an inflammatory response in the uterus, meaning sperm cannot reach the egg to fertilize it and create an embryo. Researchers also postulate that copper ions act on the cervical mucus at the opening of the uterus to create a spermicidal, or sperm killing, effect.
