Best Answer

With any irregularity of periods while using an IUD, you should always rule out pregnancy first. However, spotting is considered normal with an IUD, and the dark brown color indicates that it is "old blood" meaning that the bleeding occurred many hours or a day ago, as opposed to bright red blood, which would indicate a new bleed. All that said, rule out pregnancy before looking further into it, no Birth Control is 100%.
