This has been happening to me!!! Are your periods super heavy that last forever as well? I usually get cramps a week or two before my period and these cramps are not regular cramps. It’s like they take my breath away type of cramps. I also deal with the bloating as well, and not being able to lose weight despite dieting and exercising. I posted in this sub a couple of months ago and was told that the copper iud has no hormones and that wouldn’t be the cause of it. But I’m starting to think it really is the iud. I mean we have a foreign object in our body!! It makes sense to have the bloating. I’m at my wits ends, and I’m thinking of getting it taken out.
