Hello to all;
I have had the copper IUD for 6 months now and the heavy periods have been non-stop. I use 2 overnight pads and to avoid the embarassment of "leakage" I have to use tampons too. I have told my doctor this but they say its normal. I have anemia now. My periods last 7-8 days. I have to change my pads at least every hour. How long does it take for my period to normalize?
My period went away 2 weeks ago and I have not been able to feel the string. I asked my partner to help me and he said that he can not feel it either. I have been starting to get sharp pains almost as if something was cutting me inside and the pain shoots down my right leg. I was told I have a fibroid the size of a golf ball. Could it be the IUD causing this or the fibroid?

Hi annettedlc3 and welcome to the board.
With a copper IUD it isn't uncommon for it to take about 6 months for your body to regulate.
