A member asked:
I am 36 yrs old & had iud removed 3 days ago. i had a little spotting, but woke up this am with heavy bleeding overnight. is this normal?

Could be: That could be normal after that procedure, but if you have increasing pain, fever, or a foul smell, those could be signs of infection. If there's no infection, then it should only take one full menstrual cycle for you to get back to normal.
