How long does it take to stop bleeding after an iud removal?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Up to 3 months: A copper iud might take up to 3 months because it causes a lot of inflammation. A Progesterone iud should be shorter because the hormone is removed and the lining is shed off sooner.

Depends: If it was copper incorporated iud you may have some bleeding for few days and you stop but you will get your menstrual cycle when you are due. If it is hormone incorporated iud like Mirena (levonorgestrel) you bleed few days from removal of iud (3-5) days but then you have hormone withdrwal bleeding for few days after iud removal which may last fdor 3-5 days.
