A member asked:

I had a 10 day heavy bleed with big clots after having my mirena (levonorgestrel) coil removed was that a period?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

May or may: Not have been , please call the doc who removed your iud, but a 10 day bleeding episode whether it was your period or not is not normal so if you were my pt , i would do am exam, and an ultrasound to check everything.
