SPOTTING -Anyone on Copper IUD(one year?
| Fri, 02-16-2007 - 11:48am |
Hi-I have been on the copper IUD for almost a year now. I know it is common to have irregularities within the first few cycles. But I am well beyond that. My last period was 8 days late, it came-was pretty much normal- and it went. Since then I have had a few instances of spotting. Not enough to use a tampon or a pad, but when I wipe I notice it. It's not bright red-but it is red. The other thing, which I am hoping is completely un-related is a few weeks ago I had my anuual and I have a abnormal pap smear- it shows mild dysplasia- which of course is considered "mild" I do have a colposcopy scheduled for March. I had this same ordeal happen 5 years ago while pregnant with my son and it was due to HPV they did a colposcopy- not much there- monitored me and it went away. Now with this pap I tested negative for the strains of HPV they tested for. I guess I am just scared that it is related to the pap results and that there is something wrong. I know from what I have researched that spotting doesnt usually happen until dysplasa is advanced. For what its worth I did not have sex the day before either. Please help. Thank You
