Copper IUD bleeding

Heidi

Okay, so they say the copper IUD will make periods heavier, but I’m wondering how much is too much? I’m on my first period since insertion, and I’m fully soaking through regular sized tampons every 2 hours. That seems like A LOT. But I’m used to very light periods generally, so maybe I’m just being over dramatic. 😆 thoughts? Personal experiences?
