like over a month and if yes has it caused a funny odor from the dried bllod?
Answer:
Prolonged bleeding can be a common side effect of having an IUD - particularly the copper ones. I know this because I had my copper IUD replaced in December after experiencing constant bleeding for three months. I now have a Mirena (the IUD that contains progesterone) and have had no further problems.
Another cause for excessive bleeding (which you may also wish to investigate) is infection. People that use the IUD are more prone to infections and these can play havoc with your hormones, leading to irregular bleeding, absent periods, spotting or prolonged periods. Consult your Dr and ask them to do a swab test to rule this out.
Bleeding and spotting can be normal side effects from getting an IUD inserted depending on how long you've had it it. Mainly the first 6 months are the most irregular. If you're having issues with odor and you're sure it's not an infection you might want to carry wet naps so that you can clean the dried blood off when you use the restroom.
