Yes . With my sister specifically she had way heavier periods and she doesn ' t eat meat so she has been taking supplements . She said they do become lighter but she still doesn ' t have light periods and she ' s had it for two years . She has the paraguard I think . My other friend also has a copper IUD but she has the smaller one which is the least effective of all the IUDs . still effective though . She has the same thing where her iron was really low and she supplemented with additional iron pills . Whereas I haven ' t had a full period since I got mine in August . Just spotting . <| sep |> Unfuckingbelievable , whoever is just standing by filming this needs to do a MUCH better job at taking care of their pet alligator or else he ' s going to starve .
