Normal: With a Copper IUD, your period will become more crampy and definitely 30% heavier. It will gradually slow down and become more normal in a few months. Please give it 3 months at least. If the periods are getting heavier then see a doctor to check that the IUD is in the right location. You can also use Ibuprofen 800mg, 3 times a day for 5 days with food. If it does not help, See a doctor

I took plan b and got the copper iud inserted in January. I got my period after that, on time, which lasted 2 weeks and was heavy. Now I'm late for my next period by 10 days, and I have been spotting for 6 days. Is this from plan b? What is going on?
