NO!: Heavy bleeding is NOT a USUAL effect of ANY IUD See the Health Professional who INSERTED the IUD ASAP! Hope this is helpful! DR Z

Just passed a huge period clot. this month has been normal - minimal cramping and not heavy bleeding. Period was 2 days early though. I usually have small occasional clots but this was big. Should I worry? Took aspirin for 4 days prior could cause?
