Hi.
Thanks for asking in Healthcare Magic.

Irregular periods and brown discharge are some of the drawbacks of copper T and occur during the first 3 to 6 months of copper T insertion. Although copper T is only a non hormonal IUCD, the periods take some time to get regularized after its removal.

Your bleeding could be due to inter menstrual bleeding. But brown discharge can also be due to vaginal infection or pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). If the brown discharge/bleeding continues or if it is accompanied by pain and fever, then it indicates PID and you should consult your treating Dr. for further evaluation.

Also, you have not mentioned if you are using any other contraceptive method. If you are using none, and if you are sexually active, then the brown discharge could be due to implantation bleeding. Usually the implantation bleeding occurs to a maximum period of only for 2 to 3 days but rarely can extend more than that. You can rule out pregnancy through home kits.

I hope this is useful to you.
