I hav an iud, started spotting brick colored blood, now a light flow. why this color?why am i early? not due for 20 more days

Breakthrough bleed: Breakthrough bleeding (bleeding at the wrong time) is very common on birth control. It happens in iud users too. Its no big deal and usually self corrects over time. If you are not satisfied or it continues to happen then consider using a different birth control method. It is a common side effect and does not mean something is wrong or that the iud is not working.
