Bleeding after IUD.

Jamie

I got my period on the 11th of February, I had the IUD inserted on the 15th and I’m unsure exactly when my period ended, but most of it stopped around the 19th. Today (the 26th of February) I’ve just had some light pink bleeding, almost like the start of my period. I was just wondering if that is normal? I know that bleeding is expected during the first few months of the IUD being placed, but is it normal to have it this soon?

Also, any recommendations on how to feel the strings? I’m unsure of exactly what they feel like AND I kinda struggle to get my fingers up enough to actually feel my cervix to know if they’re there.
