bleeding after iud

hey there,

I've never had one but I googled "bleeding after IUD insertion," and it seems like a few days of light bleeding is common. If it continues for more than a few days or gets heavy, you should see your doctor.

here's a link on after-IUD-bleeding from Web MD-

hope you're feeling better!
:D

bleeding after iud

I had an IUD before and I bled EVERY SINGLE day for 6 MONTHS!!! I was also having a lot of pain from it. It didn't agree with my body. They did tell me that my periods would be irregular at first but after a year I probably wouldn't get them until I got it taken out. 4 years without periods sounded good to me.
