I have been having a similar problem.I had the paragaard put in on the 20th of september and its now mid october.I have been bleeding on and off very lightly and when I thought I stopped would bleed through my panties because I would start again.Well now 4 weeks later I dont know if I have started my period or what the deal is because last night I stood up and literally felt like a focet was on down there.I ran to the bathroom bleed right through my pad and pants then when I sat down blood kept flowing scared the daylights outta me.I looked in the toilet and have never seen that much blood or clots.I called the nurse and she said it was my period,that is not normal to me.Now today everytime I get up blood comes puring out and the blood looks like red jello.Its so gross and scary.I also have backpain and cramps.Im getting this thing removed as soon as I get into a doctor.
my name is christina, and i just got the paraguard in on friday june 25, and after i got it in, i have been bleeding so much with big blood clots and that isnt good, i been going through like 3 or 4 pads a day, and this isnt good. so im going to call up my doctor and see if i can get in soon as possible, i heard having blood clots and expeally big blood clots arnt good. you need to call your doctor, she told me some people are good with it and some people arnt. and i guess i am one of them that doesnt do well on it. :( and thats a shame. im bleeding to much every day, with white stuff, and small and big clots. so i recommand before u get it read more about it, like i did, anda ll before u get it, because their is alot of stuff that can happen. i thought this would of been great for me, but my body i guess isnt taking it so good. i also had a baby girl she will be 3years old in aug. she was born 2007. so its better when u had a child already. but for me i guess its not taken it well, i need to go get checked my doctor said alot of bleeding , and going through alot of pads, and clots, or even big clots arnt good at all, it could of moved or something could be wrong, or my body or who ever body not taken it. so please check with your doctor if u have these problems.
i experianced the same sort of thing when i had my paragard in i was bleeding so heavy it even leaved through the sanitary towel my knicker and my trousers i had to cahnge all 3 four times in less than an hour wen i passed the huge clot i thought the coil had come out i went 2 the emergency room they just told me i had 2 go see my gp as they could do nothing they just gave me meds to contol the bleeding two days later i went 2 my gp she told me it the iud was still there it had just moved a little so she took it out ive been with out it for two months and feel so much better i say have it taken out all these contraceptives are no good to our short and especially long term health i say use natural family planning that way theres no harm to you and if you accidently get pregnant theres no harm to the developing baby either
Oh, and not to mention, I conceived while on the Implanon and had been on this bc for a year at the time of conception (its supposed to last 3 years). Implanon and Norplant according to all the drs I have talked to is not a bc route anyone should take, so people beware. Not to mention when they removed it from my arm, they made a tiny incision but the scarring is terrible. I do not recommend this form of bc to ANYBODY!
I am in my 8th month of pregnancy and have passed 2 golfball sized clots in the last two weeks. Today I went to the hospital for monitoring and testing because I passed a clot the size of a tennis ball. Extremely horrific let me tell ya. I have placenta previa and this is my third child, I am 27 years old. The dr didnt seem too worried about it and ended up sending me home on total bed rest. The baby they said seemed absolutely fine and my blood count was normal. Would like to know though what may be causing these clots and why I am still having them, especially sooooo big. Not to be gross or anything but this clot literally looked like a kidney and felt like a raw piece of chicken in my hands. I just don't understand.
This is not normal!
if you are bleeding through a hospital pad in an hour you need to go the emerg strainght away, same goes if you have even one golf ball sized clot!
it means you are hemoraging ot miscarrying.
did you get that checked? what did they say?
also i found that evening primrose is fantastic for cramping (and i'm a very heavy cramper, especially after i got my iud) and and my doc recommends tha one should be on iron supplements if you bleed longer than four days (heavily). you may find that your periord may even get shorter
