Sorry for TMI. I'd call my drs but given current state of affairs, it's closed!

I had a mc at 8 weeks on Valentine's Day. I bled heavily during mc and stopped after around a week. My first period since that started Saturday, started really really heavy and has now evened out and is relatively light BUT i've noticed a really really strong metal-like smell? Blood is bright red and no clots but I've never ever had this before.

Not unpleasant or foul smelling, just like I'm sniffing pennies! 🤷🏻‍♀️

Has anybody experienced this? Should I be doing something that I'm not? Should I be taking a vitamin that I'm not? (I take multi vitamin and folic A every morning)

Thanks and sorry again for waaaaay TMI x

It's just the iron in your blood.

Nothing to worry about xxx
