Hi,
I was hoping any of you lovely ladies have some advice for me. I'm 32F.
Before having the Copper IUD, my periods were like a German Train. Lasting 5 days and 25 days between cycles.
I had a copper coil fitted in February 2022 and my periods, again, were 5 days on a 25 day cycle but did fluctuate slightly between 24 - 26 days. Since having it inserted, my periods were a lot heavier. Which was expected when discussing it with my doctor.
I had the copper coil removed in August 2024 and my periods haven't been the same since. My flow is much, much lighter than before I had the coil in. It's so irregular, it can come anywhere between 21 - 29 days and lasts between 2-3 days max. (Its cheaper on the pocket) but it's been two years now and it hasn't gone back to normal. I'm not THAT old, so surely it can't be premenipause? I had my thyroid tested a year or two ago, so it can't be that. I'm not sure if this is common after removal? Should I see a doctor about it or? I don't want to bother them if there is a way I can fix it myself.
I want to try for a baby with my husband. For anyone who is currently experiencing this since having theirs removed, has it effected your chances of conceiving?
Am I no longer able to ovulate regularly, considering how short and light my periods are currently?
Did yours ever return to how they were pre-insertion of the copper IUD or is this just how it goes now?
I haven't paid much mind to it, as I thought it would return eventually. However, now we want to TTC, I'm not sure if I should be a little worried about it?
Any advice would be great! Thank you, much love! ❤️
