Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Usually, after getting a copper IUD removed, your period might become lighter and less annoying or not change much at all.

If you are feeling pain or cramping with heavy flow, then consult your gynecologist immediately. There is a chance of dub, secondary infection or fibroids are possible.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu
