Copper IUD ( PARAGARD) 2nd Month

My first period after insertion was also my first period after abortion so it may have been affected by both. That being said , my period was 15 days in March! First i started having a very light period for 7 days and i thought “ yesss this is great” THEN on day 8 my period KICKED UP and i started bleeding heavily for 7 more days. I thought it would never end but eventually it did ( after 15 days)

fast forward to APRIL , month 2, and my period was almost completely back to normal ( normal for me is 7 days ). This one was about 8 days but the last 2 days were pretty much just spotting.

As for cramps, i have never had bad cramping and it had stayed this way. i got a couple of random cramps but they were those fast ones that kinda hit like a lightning bolt and are gone so that’s not bad at all.

Strings- i couldn’t feel the strings for a while when i checked for them. Then they reappeared and my partner briefly felt them. he said it wasn’t bad and to not be concerned with it. i made an appt with the doc anyway and he did an ultrasound to make sure everything was in place, which it was. My partner hasn’t mentioned the strings again and my body seems to be adjusting just fine.
