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
