Hi, I had a copper IUD inserted just over a year ago and for the first 3-4months everything was fine until i started getting my period for a week and then two weeks later i would get it again. After 4months of this I asked my doctor to put me on the pill which he did however my periods continued to come, he changed my pill to a shorter cycle version which only made my periods even longer with less time in between until it felt like i was bleeding nonstop, anyway I stopped taking the pill after I had had my period for 12days straight and two days later my period stopped. I feel like i shouldn't complain except now i havent had my period in five weeks... My doctor has referred me for an ultrasound but i'm on a long waiting list, does anyone have any personal experiences with a similar scenario??
