When to expect period?

Katie

Hi ladies! So I’m going on vacation soon and I don’t know when to expect my period! I got the IUD at the beginning of January and had a 14 day long period that ended on February 7th. I’m hardly even spotting now. Honestly I think I could go without a liner if I wasn’t terrified of suddenly bleeding again.

eve tells me I’ll start my period in about 10 days, but I don’t know if I should trust it or not. Also, according to eve, my period would stop 2 days before I leave for vacation (but that’s if it only lasts 7 days).

I can’t wear tampons and I’m going to the beach, so I don’t know if period swimwear would be worth buying if I won’t be on my period. Can someone give me some insight? I know not everyone’s the same, but I’d like personal experiences. How were your periods right after having the IUD? Could you tell when it was coming (PMS symptoms?)?

I haven’t been cramping this week and each day it seems like my spotting just keeps getting lighter and lighter. And there’s no more “period smell”, you know, like an irony bloody smell. Not bad as in infection, but just a different smell. I just have no idea what to expect! I could use some personal insight please!
