After IUD removal

Question- I had my IUD removed and bled for 4 days after. I stopped for a couple days now I am spotting again. Is this normal? I had the MIrena for two and a half years.
My husband and I had sex two days prior to the removal should i be concerned or is this normal as a result of the removal. Thanks

I had the same iud and i had to have it removed after 3 years because it was causing me to hemmorage more and more with every period. My Doctor told me if I keep it I would most likly bleed to death. Scary huh. well since the iud removal, my periods are very irregular. I have gone nearly 3 yrs and have only had 5 periods. Ive had all the test done and they can't find anything wrong and thats great. now I'm having a hard time conceiving. I didn't suffer any damage from the iud but i don't the iud to anyone.

If you are still spotting, I would say that the chances are you are not pregnant, especially if you don't have any other symptoms.


Did you mention to your doctor when you last had sex, prior to your IUD removal?
