Iud Removal - Could It Kickstart An Early Period?

[joko]

Had a copper coil for 2 weeks - nightmare so got it removed on the 4th ap

felt better pretty fast and cramps were gone instantly

however there is rather a lot of blood still coming out - MORE than when it went in.

I am not due a period until about the 13th-ish - so has this just brought it on sooner?? or is it due to damage from the removal?

there was a lot of blood getting it in - and it was agony

it hurt to get out and i figured perhaps it had just scraped me and it would stop.

thanks

There are plenty of posts on the web suggesting that bleeeding after removal of a coil isn't uncommon. e.g. see these threads:

and
https://www.netmums.com/coffeehouse/woman-504/sex-contraception-48/466487-help-please-mirena-coil-removal-all.html

However 'better safe than sorry' is always a good maxim, so see your GP (or, at the very least, call 111) to seek reassurance.

Yes...I had one for a while and had to have it taken out because of the cramps it seemed to cause. Getting it out was much worse than it being put in. I had bleeding after although I felt better. If I remember correctly I had a normal period when due one.

Not a big deal at this stage (and am not sure what 111 has to offer)...it is either a period OR traumatic damage to your cervix (which is not uncommon during coil removal) and the next days will give you the answer........my money going on that it is trauma and should settle within the time period I have suggested.

Thanks everyone, i'll wait a while and see how it is then, before seeing the doc.
