Irregular periods, copper coil?

3 replies

Hi,
I’m just looking for any advice or similarities really.
I’ve had the copper coil for about a year and a half, and other than my periods being heavier I haven’t had any issues.
But the last 2 months however I’ve had some problems with my period, it will finish and then a few days later I’ll have another one. Then the next one was 12 days late and the next 12 days early. It’s getting me down quite a bit. I have already booked a doctors appointment but just wondering if any else has had this issue?

The last time I had my bloods taken I had Elevated anti-TPO (thyroid peroxidase) antibodies, the doctor didn’t seem concerned but I really feel like this could be causing an issue and that my hormones are imbalanced because of it as I’ve also noticed oily skin and fatigue.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thankyou!

Hi,

How old are you if you don't mind me asking? Are you in the perimenopause stage of life? In which case this could all be hormonal linked. It's great you have booked a doctor's appointment.

Hi thanks for replying
Im 38, I know it’s not unheard of to be perimenopausal at my age but I still feel like it’s too early. Unless I’m one of the unlucky ones

Hi OP? Any pain or other symptoms? Sounds like it hormonally linked if not. Hopefully you get to see your doctor soon to confirm.
