I have been going nuts the past few weeks- I have Paragard (copper IUD) yet felt I really was pregnant. I've been bloated, EXHAUSTED, moody, irritable, super hungry, dizzy at times... did I mention EXHAUSTED? Lazy, even. Part of it is probably the weather- super muggy lately- and not drinking coffee anymore. But, still.
I am wondering if this could be a copper toxicity issue? After reading some pretty convincing stuff online, I am considering having the IUD taken out ..
I have also been eating like CRAP. Am the heaviest I have ever been (about 150 right now, I think) I have NEVER weighed this much, except when I was 7m pregnant!! Normally I am about 135. I am 5"6. I have been eating all the time, and super junky/fattening/yucky food.
I'm also under a good amount of stress- living conditions not good- money is not good- trying to figure out wth we're going to do.
Do you think I could chalk up all of the awfulness I've been feeling to this stuff?
And if so, how do I fix it?!?! I am still nursing, so detox is not really an option. I have been up and down the ladder with the food thing- I was actually a super obsessive healthy-food person after DD was born, shopped the FM weekly, was very good about what I consumed, cooked, loved it all. Lately I have not felt comfy in the kitchen we share with family we're staying with, and we have been broke- no $$ for FM. But that doesn't excuse the piggish, self-destructive way I have been eating. Yuck.
Help, please?!
