A member asked:

It's been 2 months since i had my paraguard placed and i'm still bleeding it seems to be in the right place is this normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably normal: I would give the bleeding another coupl of months to subside. If it continues, you can change to a different iud (mirena), or tyr a short course of birth control pills to see if that stops the bleeding. Talk to your dr about options.
