Paragard spotting after 3 months?
| Sun, 11-05-2006 - 7:55pm |
I've had my Paragard for 3 months, and the last couple weeks I've had random cramping almost every day, not very painful though, and strange discharge (the red/brown goopy kind). This didn't happen to me in the first 2.5 months or so...and I thought that's when it was supposed to happen. Does this change mean anything bad (like it's expelling itself or has moved) or is it just my body getting used to it kinda late? Thanks! The spotting started as an extension of my last period and I haven't had a day without it for a couple weeks.
On a good note, my third IUD period was a bit lighter flow and a little less crampy--something I could deal with every month. (unlike the first 2!) And, still on time. I'm very surprised!


When I got mine inserted my doc told me that if I could make it past the first 3 months that I would have the hard part behind me. 1.5 months later mine is going good. Does your discharge have an odor? It may just be some break-through spotting. Have you called your doc and asked them. Especially with the cramping that's new in the last couple of weeks. If it were me I'd call them and tell them what's going on.
Hope all is well!
