I have an IUD for 2 years I am now bleeding 1 1/2 weeks after my last period, what's wrong?

Bleeding during the first 6 months with an IUD in place is not unusual. However, you are past that point so, I would recommend a visit to your ob/gyn.  You might have to have it totally removed or replaced with a new one.

I had an iud inserted about 4 months ago. I had lots of problems with it. Prolonged bleeding cramping, and just yesterday it fell out!!! The doctors told me that I may have an infection called cervicitis and it may have caused my cervix to open slightly an for the iud to fall out (which I looked up and found out that it can be caused by having an iud) now I am bleeding and I have to wait for it to stop before I can get any cultures taken to find out if I actually do have this infection!!! Now I'm not telling you that the iud isn't a good idea because everyone is different, and for some the iud is a great form of birth control! You should know that they usually will not put one in unless you already have at least one child and are in a mutually monogamous relationship

Hi!! You are going to have to stick your finger inside and check for the string.  I had an IUD for two years and sometimes I would have a hard time finding the string.  If in doubt go to the doctor for a pelvic exam.  Good luck!!!

I am not sure but I have a friend in the same boat so I am posting a response so I can keep tabs on other answers..It could be birth control related, are you on the shot or were taken off the shot w/in the past year? Break through bleeding like that can happen when going off birth control...well I hope we both find an answer, its not looking too hopeful is it:(

it will take a year before you might see a pattern. Depending on which IUD you have.\n\nPara Guard(non hormonal and 10 yrs) you might see an increase in flow and cramps and you might spot inbetween or skip a period\n\nMirena (hormones and 5 yrs) will decrease your flow and cramps and you might have an absence in period after a year!!! but also normal to skip periods with this one

You need to go to the Dr. You may have endometriosis.That's when the lining of the uterus grows too much.It can cause irregular bleeding.

If your in your late thirties could be the beguining of change.If your wearing a IUD,then that could cause it.The best thing to do is go to your Doctor and get a check up.

Heavy periods.  You should see your doctor for a diagnosis and treatment.

Heavy bleeding during your peroid could be caused by several things (endometriosis, fibroids, etc...).  Bleeding with intercourse is NOT normal and you should definately see a doctor for this.\nAbnormal bleeding between periods could be a sign of cervical dysplasia (a precancerous condition), a hormonal imbalance, or an infection.  The only way to find out is to see a doctor and have a pap smear.

how long has it been going on, like how many days?\n\nsounds normal to me, everyone has this type of discharge after your period every once in a while, especially if you are not regular or this menstrual period was lighter or heavier than normal. this should last for a week, maybe a week and a half, even 2 weeks sometimes after a period.\n\nif it has been going on longer and you are having pains, it could be something you have to see your gynocologist about

Yes, this is normal.  It's old blood left over from your last period that comes out right before the next period starts.  This shouldn't be anything to worry about.

I dont know what it could be but you should ask to see a different gyno- get on a medical plan because 5 months does seem a little too long too be bleeding like that. be careful you dont become anemic. Is there someone else that works there that would be more helpful?

After having children the mucus discharge does thicken. The irregular bloody spotting with it probably means your system is a bit out of whack after having children and being off Depo. Talk to your OB/GYN and see if getting back on some kind of birth control will help regulate your periods again. If they continue to get worse though, they might consider a D&C or ablation. Stop using Depro though...it's now being related to bone disorders. Ask your dr. about the NuvaRing....it's easy to use and works very well. Regulated my periods immediately!

Yes, you should see a doctor.  Vaginal bleeding after menopause might be a sign of something serious that needs treatment.

Get yourself to a doctor or gyno, especially if you think you might be pregnant.  You may be trying to miscarry, or something else might be wrong.  Irregular bleeding could have many causes and only your doctor can determine what it is.  If it were me, I'd be sitting in that doctor's waiting room right now, instead of asking   Yahoo Answers.  Good luck!

That is not normal.\nYou should make an appointment with your GYN.
