IUD removal question

[Proud_Mommy]

if you've had an IUD removed, how long did you bleed for after the removal and how heavy was it? Did you have a period right away?

I got mine out Friday. I don't think I'm having a period but I'm still spotting and I didn't think I would spot for this long for some reason. I know it's only been a few days though.

I wouldn't be concerned about some spotting just a few days after, but I've never had experience with an IUD. Perhaps someone shared this in the sticky at the top of our board. Give your doc a call if you are concerned.

I had my IUD (Mirena) removed in August and I started my period 2 days later. It was VERY heavy, lasted about 6-7 days and then 2 weeks later had a normal period flow. Hope this helps a little

I just had my Mirena taken out on Wednesday and I didn't have any spotting or bleeding...

Until today (Friday)! I seem to be having a heavy period like the poster above me described.

KUP! I'll update too if it continues for longer than my normal period length.

I had my IUD removed on November 29th. I started my period three days later. I'm not sure mine was all that heavy as I'd had the IUD for just shy of two years. Have had some interesting mood swings since then, and some other symptoms you would think would translate to a pregnancy, but no positive result. I wish you the best of luck! I will be interested to see how you make out since we are in a very similar situation. Baby Dust!
