What Causes Light Menstrual Bleeding Post Removal Of An IUD?

I’m a 38 year old female. I had a copper IUD for about 4 years and had it removed recently around the end of July this year. I’ve had 3 periods so far but they only lasted for about 2 and half days, with light bleeding. My usual periods always lasted 5 days with heavy bleeding for 2 days. Can you tell me what’s going on?
