I got an IUD 6 weeks after my little man was born almost 7 months ago. I'm nursing and I had some light spotting for a few days last month and although it was light assumed it was a period (first one since he was born) just different due to the IUD. A few days ago I had some light spotting

It sounds to me like your body is just trying to adjust it's self and get back on track with periods and such.

Potential side effects from using an IUD include:



  • Mood changes
  • Acne
  • Headaches
  • Breast tenderness
  • Pelvic pain
  • Cramping (copper IUD)
  • Increased bleeding during menstruation (copper IUD)
  • Nausea

My period actually diminished while I had the IUD.

Thanks ladies!! I didn't realise all the side affects of the IUD. I have the copper one with no hormones so I assumed there wouldn't be any side affects other than the cramping and heavier bleeding. I think to ease my mind I will probably take a test tomorrow because this is the first I'm seeing of any symptoms and I've had the IUD for 6 months now, then again I could have had no symptoms because I had no period before ya know. I feel a little less anxious now though, thanks ladies!
