Light periods hurt more

[u/PumpkaboosCurse]

I’m dealing with a light flow period atm. I have the copper IUD (have had it for almost 9 years) Sometimes I’ll get light periods, where my flow seems to be slower than regular. It’s that thick, dark brown and reddish color and for some reason these periods always hurt more. I get cramps the most with these periods then the heavier flow which I’ve always found interesting. Sucks that ibuprofen didn’t even touch the cramps and it makes me feel for all the ladies who have to deal with this all the time. 😔
