period every 2 1/2 weeks

first i want to say i'm only 29  and i have 2 kids and i've had an iud in for the past 9 years with no problems at all. went to the dr in oct for annual check up everything is great. here's my situation i got a normal period on nov 26th lasting 5-7 days or so. then on dec 15th again, normal period. then on dec 29th thought i was spotting but later in day there was blood like a period. wasnt like a normal period cause it only last 3 days and was very light, by light i mean not too much on pad and only blood when i would wipe-sorry for being graphic. then it was over and now it;s the 17th and last night i went to the bathroom and again there was blood. put on a pad today and very little blood as if it was the beginning of my period (i always got a little at first then by the second day it would be heavy). has this ever happened to anyone before? its not menopause i have no cramping just concerned on what it could be? any help would be great.
Thanks

The same thing has been happening to me people say its the birth control and to change up your birth control.  But the only way to tell is if you go to the doctor.

i spoke to my hubbys aunt, who is also a nurse, and she said that it does happen every so often and as long as there is no pains in abdomen and no fever its okay. i am on the copper T IUD and i even though they say its ok to leave it in for 12 years  total i think i might have them replace it at they end of this year, by then i'll have it in for 10 years.
