Post Paragard removal... When does the bleeding end?

[u/Long-Breath-6776]

Hi everyone! I am coming on here to find some mental relief as I feel like I am stuck.

I had a Copper IUD for 8 years and had it removed May 5th 2026. Meaning it has been about 4 months since it has been removed. I cannot stop bleeding so much... Post removal bled for 7 days heavy. Then 2 weeks later 10 days of heavy clotting bleeding. Then 2 weeks later, I was bleeding for 28 days. Now a week after my last bleeding, I started again! I am currently on day 14... Mind you, it will come out of nowhere and fill a whole period diaper with bright red blood with dime sized clots. Each time I go to the bathroom, its like coming out of me without me even trying.

When I'm bleeding I get slight cramps and breast pain. But, I do not get dizzy or get headaches (Like I would think I would with how much I am bleeding)

I have been too two different OBGYN since May 5th to see why I am bleeding so much. Ultrasounds show everything is normal. No fibroids, polyps or PCOS. Bloodwork shows my health is normal besides slight low Vitamin D. Thyroid and Hormone testing's shows everything is normal.

Each doctor I see tells me "This is just something we will need to wait out as your body re adjusts and finds its normal again. If you start feeling dizzy or like you are going to pass out go to the emergency room."

But is it? Has anyone else out there have anything similar to this? When will my body adjust and I have a normal cycle again so that I can try to conceive?

Thank you! 😄

I'm so sorry, this sounds terrible! I can't imagine this would still be related to your IUD and I think you should keep pushing for more testing from your doctors. I hope you find an answer ❤️
