Sometimes it s just spotting or pinkish mucous discharge. I ve had my ovaries scanned, done a cervical pa smear. Al came out clear. What do l do,its been nine months now and my cycle has not normalized.

Hi,
It is quite common after IUD removal. Nothing much to worry and it will settle by itself.
If symptoms persist better to consult a gynecologist and get evaluated. In that case, you might require hormonal pills.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
