I've had it in for almost a year now and my periods have definitely gotten waaayyy heavier and cramps hurt 10x more. But my PMS is practically gone and I have no weight gain or other side effects. My sex life with my boyfriend has also improved a lot. So overall I'm really happy with it.
However, I've noticed that today (day 2 of bleeding; changing my tampon every hour) I have been incredibly tired and foggy. I slept for 12 hours and had weird dreams. Have any of you had issues with the exponentially increased levels of blood loss that come along with the Paragard and/or experienced anemia after having it for awhile? Or maybe it's a zinc-copper inbalance (which I am probably prone to from eating so many plant foods)?
