Hi Shannonb,
Welcome to EmpowHER. During the first few months following non-hormonal IUD insertion, certain women can experience irregular vaginal bleeding in between menstrual periods, a side effect also known as spotting. In clinical trials for the non-hormonal IUD, approximately 12 percent of women chose to have the IUD removed due to side effects of pain or vaginal bleeding, reports the FDA. Though many women no longer experience these menstrual cycle changes after one year of non-hormonal IUD use, certain women may continue to experience discomfort. Women should report severe abdominal pain or vaginal bleeding to a doctor immediately as these side effects can indicate other medical conditions or IUD-related complications.
Best,
Daisy
