What Causes Vaginal Spotting With Abdominal Cramps While On ParaGard?

default
Posted on Wed, 20 Jan 2016
Question: I had a baby 4 months ago and I had the non-hormonal IUD Paragard put in for birth control after about 12 weeks because I have Factor V Leiden which increases my chances of a blood clot. Well after having one horrible period on that I had it removed after about 20 days as I had spotting the entire time leading up to the awful period. I couldn't do it. So I started the XXXXXXX pill and take it religiously at the same time every day. One day I was 30min late. I'm almost done with 5 weeks of being on it. Well I had a period that started about December 20th. I'm now spotting today with some cramps and I'm obviously not due to start for awhile still. I'm wearing a tampon. Is this normal?

Brief Answer:
Normal

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I understand your concerns.

This is normal especially when you have taken minipill. This will resolve by next cycle and there is nothing to worry.

Continue minipill as pill itself might help in reducing spotting.

Let me know if you need anymore help.
