I have had a hormonal iud for a little over a month my spotting looks like it has stopped and i only bleed a little bit once and a while is this normal or is something wrong with the iud even though i still have cramps?

Q: i have had a hormonal iud for a little over a month my spotting looks like it has stopped and i only bleed a little bit once and a while is this normal or is something wrong with the iud even though i still have cramps?

: This is typical for this type of IUD. In time, you may have little or no spotting. This is largely because of the absence of estrogen in the IUD, but it does have progesterone which plays a large role in the birth control or function.
