Was on the nuva ring and now am on the skyla iud. first period was so heavy i landed in the hospital requiring 6 pints of blood. they say it estrogen ?

IUD & heavy bleeding: Six units of blood with your period is certainly unwelcome and not consistent with the IUD or estrogen as being the source. A 2nd opinion exam by another GYN MD could be helpful in determining causation.
