I bled very heavily for 2 months after the Mirena IUD but after that the hormones emitted from the IUD caused my periods to stop all together and prior to the IUD my regular cycle was 10 days, very heavy & cramps were severe. Give your body time to adjust if that IUD also emitts hormones. You may also enjoy lighter periods or none at all! Please take the advise of the MD's. Good luck to you.

Hi,
Problems of irregular or excessive bleeding can occur for a few months after insertion of IUD. This will usually self correct within 2 to 3 months. Also the bleeding is not heavy and the IUD is in place. Hence there is nothing to be worried about. If there is excessive bleeding then haemostatic medicines can be taken. Consult your Doctor. Hope this helps.
