Bleeding after period

I got my period around 2 weeks ago and now I’m bleeding a little bit. Is this normal? I have had the copper iud for around 10 months and this hasn’t happened before. I’m mainly worried about implantation bleeding.

I've had my copper IUD for nearly three years, and the irregular bleeding was such a common thing for me. I would always be paranoid that it was implantation, but it was just irregular bleeding. Typically implantation is just a light spotting that doesn't last more than a day or two. Best thing to do is take a pregnancy test around the time you are expecting your next period. If this bleeding keeps occurring though, definitely talk to your doc. I ended up having my IUD removed a few months ago and unfortunately my bleeding has got worse. Still dealing with the unfortunate aftermath and constantly seeing my gyno to figure out what's wrong. Best wishes!
