Paragard and Anemia

sf

Beginning to suspect I might be possibly anemic since getting my paragard back in June.

I already had heavy periods beforehand and my gyno told me to keep an eye out for any changes. So...

The past 2.5 months now, symptoms started creeping up. I kept brushing it off as not enough sleep, possible flu virus, etc. But now im suspicious..

I have been exhausted despite the amount of sleep I get, my hands and feet are so cold, my hair is thinning fairly noticably and im shedding, I am struggling to concentrate and get too fatigued for my daily workout. My headaches are more frequent too.

I have had my thyroid checked not too long ago and everything came back normal (pre iud). I am planning on making an appointment for bloodwork to stay on the safe side.

Im curious if anyone else has become anemic from the copper iud? Or have similar symptoms? What was the outcome? Remove iud?
