Want this question answered?
you have had the IUD for 6yrs hardly ever bleed but now you have been bleeding for 2 weeks?
It takes time for your body to adjust to the hormones in the IUD, the bleeding should decrease over time.
Bleeding with Mirena has no special meaning. However, if you're only bleeding after sex with an IUD, it may mean that the IUD is partially expelled or in the wrong place. Contact your health care provider for advice, and consider using an alternate method of birth control until you have determined that it is not expelling.
Yes, it can be perfectly normal. You mention an IUD, if this is a hormonal IUD that you've just had inserted this may be the reason for the longer bleed as it can take your body time to adjust to the hormones in the new IUD. It's also possible that the IUD has shifted so check your strings and feel for the bottom of the IUD through the cervical opening to make sure it's not moved. If concerned or if the bleeding continues go see your doctor or go to a sexual health clinic for more help.
I got my IUD on July 8 2010 I had my first day of my normal period upon insertion. Bleed for 5 days. Then had continuous spoting until July 21 were I got my period again. I was told that irregular bleeding is normal. However, I will be calling my dr in the am to make sure that this its right
The IUD is not likely to change the odds of UTI. Talk with your health care provider about possible causes.
A Multiload IUD is a copper IUD.
Because it is securely attached to the IUD, an IUD string is unlikely to fall out. If you find your string is missing, contact your health care provider and use a backup method of birth control until you confirm that the IUD is still in place. A missing string can mean the IUD fell out without you knowing, but typically the string just moved up into the cervix.
If you can see your IUD, it is not protecting you from pregnancy. Use a backup method and see your health care provider to discuss effective options for pregnancy prevention.
The ParaGard IUD is T shaped and it contains copper.
It means 'to bleed profusely'.
There is no special significance to getting your period early on the IUD, any more than if you got your period early without the IUD. If bleeding continues, or occurs only after sex, contact your health care provider.
