Is Continued Heavy Bleeding With Huge Clots Normal After Removal Of Mirena IUD?
I had my mirena iud removed on Monday. Started bleeding on Wednesday with some clots.....Thursday got heavier with bigger clots even soaked through pants. This morning bleeding slowed and like no clots.....this evening feeling gushes all the time....run to bathroom to find huge clots.....is this normal?

Hello ma'am and welcome.
There have been many reported cases of women presenting in patterns similar to yours. This has been a common side effect of removal of mirena. In most cases it subsides with time, in others it subsides on re-inserting a new mirena.
Either way, report the same to your doctor and seek treatment if required.
Hope this helps.
Best wishes.
