hello i had the minera iud and just had it removed on thursday the 30th in hopes to get pg with baby no 2. my problem is i understand there is to be a little bit of bleeding.. but am i supposed to be having huge clots and bright red? i have been bleeding since friday and it's quite heavy and i am passing huge clots and small the biggest was about a half dollar size down to a pebble size// do i really need to go back to my ob/gyn office?
okie sorry for the long wait to tell you all how it went..
i called the dr they told me some things to look for.... i still wasn't feeling good and went to a dr and no pregncay or anything they could tell..but i stoped bleeding and am feeling better..some say it was just a fast period so we'll see when i get my next one...thanks all for your help...
I would recommend calling them and with this being a sunday I would maybe go to the ER. You shouldn't be passing that huge of clots for no apparent reason. Good Luck to you!!!
It's normal. It seems that you were less than 6 weeks pregnant and you are having a miscarriage at the SAME TIME you're having your IUD removed. What a coindence! I wait and see if the bleeding goes away in 4-5 days. If not, it's probably a puncture by the IUD.
Hi
I have had that problem but I am always told that it is my hormones. But it is safer to find out from your doctor if that is normal for you. Better safe then just letting it go on.
Call your doctor immediately! Even though it's Sunday and after hours. The answering service will call the doctor on call. If no response from your doctor or the doctor on call, go to the ER. Maybe consider another form of birth control. IUD's can get lodged in the wall of your uterus and cause scarring etc. They are better than IUD's of a long time ago but it is still a foreign object in your body. You should not be having that much bleeding especially with clots. I use to be an ER nurse. Always better to be safe.
Best of luck,

hi i would call and ask a doctor to see if it's normal. sometimes it takes your body a little time to recover from some things. hope this helps S.
Hi! I had the same IUD, and I did *not* experience that much bleeding when I had it taken out. I had a little spotting, and that was it. Definitely call your doctor! Don't wait!
It never hurts to call your doctor. If it's normal wouldn't it be better to know, so you're not worried. If there is a problem it's better to have it taken care of early. Good luck.
If you are soaking one pad in 2 hours or less and it is red you should at the very least call your dr. No one should ever bleed like that unless you have just delivered and then only for a short while.
I would definitely call if I were you, better to be safe than sorry. Sometimes clotting could be a sign of something a little more serious so maybe go in so they can check just to be sure.
I would at the very least call them....
I have never had this form of birth control but I would suggest speaking to your doctor. It really is better to be safe than sorry!
