A member asked:

I had mirena (levonorgestrel) iud in for 5 year had it removed and 3 days later i was bleeding kinda heavy for four days.i had unprotected sex before getting it remove?

Common: It is not unusual to have some bleeding for a week or so after getting the iud removed. If you had sex while the iud was in it should have protected you from conceiving during that time.
