Hi,
The cause of the spotting could be either the IUD, urinary infection or hormonal imbalance. You may have to get a urinalysis and report to your doctor for management if infection is confirmed. IUD can also lead to irregular periods and spotting. I advice you to see your gynecologist for a physical exam and a pregnancy test if needed and a pelvic/trans-vaginal sonogram. Wish you good health.
