New paragard- spotting?!


Question: New paragard- spotting!?
I had my paragard inserted 12 days ago!. I bled for 2 days after insertion, then I had a period, which lasted for 8 days and now I am spotting bright red blood!. I know this is different from my regular period because of the color and consistency!. So, basically I've been bleeding for almost 2 weeks!.

I was just wondering how long this can be expected to last!? I got it because I wanted to have worry-free sex, but now I just keep bleeding!. My boyfriend and I are both getting frustrated!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

After getting the Paragard IUD, you may have irregular periods!. This is normal!.!. you just had something inserted into your cervix, and this may be your body trying to get rid of the foriegn object!.!.!.!. give it time!.!.!. It will get betterWww@Answer-Health@Com

Ahhhh!.!.!.the joys of copper-only IUDs!. EVERYONE in the medical community knows that copper forces the body to react VERY badly to its presence in this situation!.!.!.and your doctor should have told you as much!.

You can expect to have this type of spotting/irregular bleeding for several months!. Some women experience it for up to 18 months! It is also the #1 reason most users who opt to have it removed, do!.

You basically will have three choices!.!.!.!.wait it out and hope it gets better eventually, change to a non-IUD contraceptive (barrier or hormonal) or switch to the hormone embedded IUD (Mirena)!.!.!.!.unless you have been contraindicated for the use of hormones!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
