Yes that could be, I think mine started from a copper "7" IUD that I had in my twenties. I got PID and had to have it removed and then later had my uterus removed for precancerous cells...I think they should have taken my ovaries too...they left them to prevent me from going thru early menopause. They were probably diseased then too...and that was more than 20 years ago. The copper from the IUD probably reacted with the mercury in my body even then.
