Is it normal to have bleeding 3 weeks after the removal of an IUD?

It is normal to experience bleeding or spotting up to three weeks after the removal of an intrauterine device (IUD). This can vary in intensity from day to day, but it is important for it to remain light and not increase in severity over time. If the bleeding becomes heavy or persistent, it is advisable to consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation. It is also recommended to take your contraceptive medication at the same time each day to help maintain its effectiveness. Additionally, if you are taking other medications or natural health products, it is a good idea to check with your pharmacist for any possible interactions with your contraceptive.
