I have my tubes tied and just got an iud to aleviate symptoms of menorriah. i have been spotting, bleeding and passing clots since i got the iud 2 weeks ago. is this normal?

Not really : Bleeding the first 1-6 weeks after Mirena (levonorgestrel) is common but it should not be heavy with clots. Maybe an endometrial ablation would be a better option if this does not work in the next few cycles.

Possibly: The heavy bleeding and clotting may not be controlled for approximately 4 to 6 weeks thus allowing the iud hormones to start working.
