Hey Traveller, how are you going? Any answers? (That you'd be happy to share with us of course ). I think so many of us can relate to feeling tired and exhausted, but what you described seemed to take it to a whole new level (not the every day level that most of us are on).

Hi, sorry I forgot to update

I have started taking multi-vitamins and am starting to feel human again. Of course I forgot to get my blood test results but I will be going to pick them up hopefully tomorrow so if I am iron deficient I should find out then.

how long have you had your coil in for?
it could be related to that and if it has effected your cycles..

Glad you are feeling more human I also find multivitamins help perk me up a bit.

I have also been feeling absolutely exhausted since I had my boy and, after a sleep study, I found out that I have mild sleep apnoea - just bad enough to disturb my sleep and leave me constantly fatigued. So I spend my most of my days tired and can sleep forever if given the opportunity

So if your bloods are inconclusive, the possibility of sleep disturbance may be something to explore as a cause for your tiredness.

I hope you get to the bottom of it and get some answers.

I have had the coil for almost a year, the doc suggested it because of painful, heavy periods as it tends to stop bleeding altogether. TBH if it is causing the tiredness I would probably just have to learn to live with being exhausted, as it is better than being in crippling agony 3 days out of every months, and bleeding for a further 12.
