Coil removal and severe blood loss help :(

I had my Mirena coil out after having it put in during my lap in February so I’ve not had it too long.

I had it removed on Friday just gone. Yesterday and today my bleeding has been SO bad.

Today I put a max night pad on and it was soaked through within 45 min, I was utterly shocked so called dr.

I’m just picking up a prescription which I’m guessing is mefenamic acid as she said it will reduce bleeding.

I feel so dizzy and faint. Is this normal?? Does anyone know how long this mefenamic acid takes to work and if it doesn’t stop then when is it time to go to a&e?

Thank you for reading xxx

could be anaemic if you’re flooding that much, that might explain the dizziness xx
