Had very heavy menstrual bleeding , bled through 3 pads, underwear, and pants on less than an hour, burning in stomach , abdominal cramp-like pain, copper iud inserted about 4 months ago but I also had abnormally heavy bleeding after the birth of second child 5 months ago. Could this be endometreosis, eptopic pregnancy, etc.??

Hi,
Thanks for the query.
Ectopic pregnancy usually will not present with excessive per vaginal bleeding instead internal bleeding occur in this case.
So there is possibility of IUD related menorrhagea or endometriosis.
So you once consult your gynecologist and undergo physical examination and ultrasound to findout the possible cause.
If the bleeding is found to be due to IUD, you may go for removal with her advice.
Take care.
