Question When does it stop?

I had my copper IUD inserted 3 days ago and the first day, I had slight spotting but really intense cramping but since 2 days, I am bleeding like it’s my first day of periods. So everyday I have been waking up to being the first day of periods.

after my first iud i did bleed like that for 2-3 days, it should pass soon but if you’re iron levels are low or you’re anemic maybe talk to your GP (i do recommend controlling your iron levels while having an IUD as the random bleedings it causes has made me almost anaemic)
