period after iud

Hi,
I'm new onto this forum but it looks like a great place to ask questions and get great feedback. So I had my iud removed after having it in for 3 years, I had normal periods with it in, they were light but they were consistent in timing but after I had it removed I got my period in only 2 Weeks and it lasted for barely 3 days, that was strange and not normal for me, so my question is has anybody else had a strange period after removing an iud??
Thanks

Hello,
If your periods were irregular before the IUD there are chances that they will be even after it is removed. Generally, with the copper IUD, regular cycles resume upon removal since there are no hormones in it. While after Mirena removal it may take some time for the body to adjust to the changing hormone levels and there may be menstrual irregularities. If your periods do not normalize within next few months then you should seek the opinion of a gynecologist. I hope it helps.
Best of luck and regards!
