Is it possible to combine a copper IUD (i.e., without hormones) with a birth control pill?

Since my IUD was installed, I have had painful periods, in addition to uncontrollable hormonal acne (I have always had skin problems, but it was controllable with the birth control pill). Removing the IUD is not an option for me, for several reasons. So I would like to combine the two, in the best of all possible worlds, to reduce the effects.

Hello!😀
Why is using the copper IUD the only possible birth control method for you?
Thank you!

I experienced a surprise pregnancy while on the pill and it is not something I want to go through again. That's why, in an ideal world, combining the copper IUD with the pill (for all its benefits) would be the best option for me (if feasible of course).

No we don't see this combination in practice!
Have you considered the hormonal IUD?
Thank you!
