Replaced Mirena IUD With Paragard, Having Heavy Lasting Periods Since, Fatigue. Can I Get Pregnant While On IUD ?
I had mirena iud in for exacty 5 years and never had a period. The night before it was removed I had sex. The next dayit was taken out and I had paragard inserted within minutes. I had bleeding for a couple hours then 2 weeks later my period stared. I have since had 3 periods which were heavy lasting 3 days. I've had loss of apetite, fetigue, sore low
er back. I know some women can get pregnant while having an iud and I've read some women do beed what seems to be like a regular period though pregnancy. I don't have insuarence and I don't know if I could be pregnant or peranoid.

Hi, welcome to Health care magic forum.
Previously you had mirena, which is a progesteron containing I.U.D, so you did not have the periods.
Paragard is an I.U.D, which contains only copper coil, and no harmone. So it can only prevent conception, but cant stop the periods.
In early days there may be heavy periods, but the body may become accostomed for it latter.
If the over bleeding and the and the back ache is continued ,you have to consult a gynecologist for excluding the infection, and to remove it.
By no way it is pregnancy, still if you want to exclude you can have H.P.T.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
