PCOS and a Copper T IUD
I think I am loosing my freakin' mind!!! I have been months and months without a period. I would get it every 45 days or so and it was manageable. Then i lost 75lbs (healthily) in 7 months and lost it my period around month 4. It stayed gone for many months. Then one period, then many months. Well I know this is not healthy. I have issues with blood clots so I cannot take any hormonal type drugs to induce (BC pill, proverra, regular IUDs etc) so I had one option - Copper IUD. The idea was that it would irritate the lining and cause more regular periods...
I had it inserted in early Dec and have been spotting every since. PLUS two HUGE periods (10 days each, massive bleeding, wicked pain). I am sooooo very drained! I think my iron (and my energy level) is at an all time low... and to make it worse, I am a binge eater too so... I am struggling something fierce.
I am wondering if anyone else out there has tried a Copper T IUD and if they could share with me how long this bleeding lasted for them!?!? I am giving this thing 6 months, TOPS, before it is coming out!!!
Thanks (my rant is over now!!!)
