I inserted misoprostol 200mg intervaginally last night prior to an iud insertion this morning. i woke to heavy bleeding and cramping this morning.

Happens: This may or may not be due to the misoprostol. It can cause uterine contractions and bleeding, but that may also be due to other things. If the problem exists after the IUD placement let your doctor know. Just remember that placing the IUD itself may cause some irregular bleeding.
