Flu like symptoms when on period?

[selfishmummy]

This is the second month running now that on day 2 of my period I've started with nausea, body aches, sore throat, fever and just awful flu symptoms. Has anyone ever had this or is it just coincidence? I have the copper coil and my youngest child is just over a year. I feel awful! I can't have days off work every month

I get stomach problems and a fever, feel very shakey. I always think I must be coming down with something and then I feel better a day in to my period. I also have a copper coil.

Yes. Used to get flu like symptoms regularly. Not every month. And I swear more likely in winter, so for years I assumed it must be coincidence and I was just catching illnesses. But it was too exact, too many times over the years to be coincidence. I’ve never had a copper coil, if that helps.
