Heavy periods

[Bowbellsx]

I’ve always had heavy periods but since having the copper foil fitted 4 months ago they have got even heavier, tampons and pads double wear are being saturated I feel like I have no energy sleepy and I look really pale could I need iron?

It would be best to have a chat with the Dr so they can do blood tests and discuss the bleeding & maybe see if they prescribe tranexamic acid or if it needs removing?

Yes, you need your iron checking. Was there any talk of a Mirena to reduce/stop periods ?

Get the coil out. It's a well known side effect of the copper coil for women with heavy periods to start with.

In the mean time. Ibuprofen can help to reduce the flow slightly.
