I had the IUD put in 2 weeks ago and have been bleeding since, well the last 2 days I have been bleeding ALOT. I have mild cramping but nothing tylenol cant take away. My ? is, is this normal? I'm really scared because I just had a csection 6 weeks ago and I'm afraid maybe I tore a stich on the inside or something. But wouldn't that hurt? If anyone has any knowledge on IUD i would appreciate your help. I wish I would have called my doctor yesterday but now its saturday and I don't want to have to call his answering service for something that is normal. Please help if you can. Thanks :confused:

Bleeding and spotting are normal after an IUD is inserted, however, if you're alarmed, contact your doctor. Don't worry about the answering service-- they are there to field calls, and have the doctor contact you if they feel it's necessary. Many times, answering services are manned by nurses, so s/he might be able to calm your concerns, too.
