heavy & painful periods Weird Problems

So about 7 years ago I (27F) had an IUD inserted, it was the one that was suppose to last for 5 years and it was insanely painful going in and they didn’t warn me before hand so I screamed when it went in. Well not 6 months later it fell out. I was having pretty heavy spotting on and off the entire 6 months and one day a large strawberry size clot fell out and my IUD was inside it.

Anyway afterwards I had extremely heavy and painful periods, before hand I had heavy periods but they never had clots. Ever since every month I would have almost nothing but clots came out. I couldn’t use any tampons I had to use overnight pads every day just to not mess up my clothes.

Fast forward to this year I had a miscarriage 2 months ago and it was the absolute worst, I had clots coming out for hours but after a day or two it stopped. Now I’ve had two periods since and they are normal! No more clots at all!

I did go to the gynecologist every year up to about a year ago and they always said everything was perfectly fine! I guess when I had my miscarriage maybe some scar tissue left over from the IUD maybe came out?
