A member asked:

I had an iud put in june 19.. prior to getting the iud (copper) i was on depo-provera provera (medroxyprogesterone) (for 2 years). ever since getting it i have bleed or spotted?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Copper IUD : Neither depoprovera or copper iud helps regulate cycles although both are very good birth control. The abnormal bleeding needs to be evaluated by a gyn specialist.
