Sorry didn't want to read and run I've never heard of this afraid so not much help. It sounds horrible though so sorry to hear you are going through it....

Ok so a quick Google search has surprised me and revealed that paragard is the copper coil which is what I have bizarrely just posted about because I want one fitted!!! I have heard so many horror stories about non stop heavy periods but have heard that they are usually worse in the beginning? I am currently ebf So am hoping that because I'm not bleeding now I won't have to go through this

How long have you had it fitted? If it's post a few months I would go back to whoever fitted it and ask if it's normal and how tmlong they class the early days post fitting! I couldn't cope with lots of bleeding for longer than a few months. It might be worth swapping for the progesterone coil but I personally want the copper for its lack of extra hormones. I have enough of those already!!
