A member asked:

I have an iud and after me and my boyfriend have sex i start bleeding is this normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Either the iud was misplaced, or you have some sort of cervical irritation. It is unlikely that the iud string is causing the bleeding. You need to see your gynecologist.
