Answers:
in parenting we learned and the discharge builds around clots and after a iud is implanted, scarred skin can become loose during your cycle and shed!. Nothing should be worried unless there is a lot!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

The endometrium (lining of the uterus that is shed each month) consists of blood as well as mucous!.!.!. chances are, the 'fleshy' coloured part of what you passed was just mucous!.

If it is a copper IUD, it could mean that you have an infection which is common with copper IUD's, however given that you've had it for 3 years, with I'm assuming, no problems at all!.!.!. chances are low that you're rejecting the IUD or have an infection!.

Keep a watch for fever/chills, abdominal pain (worse than normal menstrual cramping) foul odour, discoloured discharge (greenish-yellowish)

When in doubt, ask your doctor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

That happened to my friend, she thought she was having a miscarrige (we were about 15 at the time) Its funny now but the poor girls was rather freaked out at the time!. Its quite normal, especially if you have had a period for some time (i assume thats what a IUD is, birth control) I'm an Aussie :)Www@Answer-Health@Com
