IUD Bleeding After 1 Year of Getting It?

Question

I got my Liletta IUD in June 2018 and I spotted/bled non stop for 3-4 months and then my periods stopped all together for almost a year now. However I’m noticing this week that I’ve been having some medium amount of bleeding and I took a pregnancy test and it turned out negative. Is this something serious I need to worry about? I’m just hoping my IUD isn’t misplaced or my body’s starting to reject it. Thoughts?

Answer

Irregular periods are the most common side effect of the hormonal iuds. Irregular periods include heavier bleeding, longer bleeding, spotting, periods closer together or farther apart. You may experience any of these at anytime during the use of the iud. I would also check your strings. Sudden heavy bleeding when you havent bled for a while can be a sign that the iud is out of place. If you feel hard plastic its out of place and you need to see a doctor. Most likely its just irregular bleeding side effect.
