Spotting or period?? I can't tell!

Question

I had my IUD inserted almost a month ago. I've had no spotting since 3 days after but now I've been bleeding/ spotting for 6 days. For the most part it's not enough to even use a tampon. It's mostly brown which I know is older blood so that makes me think I'm spotting but a couple times a day it's bright red so then I think that I'm on my period. Has anyone had this issue?

Answer

I had my IUD put in two months ago. And bled a pretty consistent amount for the fist month. And have yet to receive a period since.. Wondering if this is normal?

Answer

I have the same thing going on to me right now . It's so annoying ! I don't know if to put it as period or spotting . Kuz one day it's brown the next is red  and the next pink and than brown  and so on . It's really light . The last time I used birth control (piles) was march 2014 . And since I stopped my period has been normal each month till now ! It been like this since last month it's so confusing .

Answer

I got my IUD about 2 months after giving birth to my first son. After I had mine placed I had my period for 21 days straight!! Which started a week after it was placed.. I went 2 weeks and have now started spotting... I think it's just your body getting used to the hormones!

Answer

I had the exact same issue after I had mine inserted! I ended up spottinf for a few days straight. Then would randomly spot over the following month for a day or so here and there. I finally got a REAL period about 50 days later.  I don't have an explanation for it, but IUDs seem to be an anything goes kind of deal.
