A member asked:

I had paraguard inserted about two months ago. about a month after it was put in i started having dark brown discharge but no normal period. ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Very common: Give it some time! a more regular cycle and bleeding should become more routine. If, however, you start to feel physically different, ie, nausea, sore breasts, etc, do an otc pg test or see your doctor. Pregnancy is rare but can very ocassionaly occur.
