birth control
"I had my IUD inserted on Jan 21. Almost a month later, I started to bleed as if it were my period. It was very heavy. My periods normally last 5 days and taper off almost completely by day 7. Since February 15, I have been bleeding heavily. Soaking through tampons and pantiliners with no end in sight. It's now March 3 and I'm not sure how much longer I should let this go on before I see my doctor. They told me to expect bleeding but I'm afraid this isn't exactly what they meant."
