Bleeding after IUD insertion

M

Hi guys, so I got my copper IUD implanted last Friday (6days ago) on my third day of my cycle. My period usually lasts 5 days, but I’m still bleeding after 8 days and an IUD insertion. It’s like I started another period - not old dried blood.

What is the normal length of time before I stop bleeding after the insertion?

Should I call my Doctor since I’ve been bleeding this long?
