Iud placed 3mo ago. extreme cramps/pain & daily bleeding. ultrasound dx ovarian cysts. depo shot given 1mo ago. now pain&bleeding w/ exertion. normal?

Not normal: See your GYN that inserted the IUD to make sure that it is in its' proper intrauterine location. I am not sure why the Depo shot was given as the IUD is a contraceptive method. With the pain and bleeding your GYN needs to determine the source by exam.
