Fatigue after IUD placement?

Avery

Hi everyone!

It’s been a little over a week since I had my IUD placed. I’ve barely noticed any symptoms. I mean, there’s been a few pimples to pop up but that’s been it.

However, I’m extremely tired all the time. At first I blamed it on my kids being home from school due to the Virus. I went from just having my one year old at home to all three kids and homeschooling.

But this morning I could barely get out of bed. And when I finally made it down to the kitchen to make a cup of coffee, the thought popped into my head that this fatigue might not be caused by the sudden change at home with the kids. But because of the IUD.

So I googled. Relentlessly. Fatigue is definitely a symptom, but I couldn’t find any suggestions on how to combat it? Now is not the time to be taking unexpected naps on the couch. Coffee helps. Redbull doesn’t anymore. Someone help!
