Hallow Rosemary,
Copper T may cause some irregular spotting to bleeding. It is common in the first month; however may continue later also.
This bleeding stops after hormonal pills; however will start again after discontinuing the pills due to withdrawal effect. If you continue these pills till the date of expected menses or few days before that it may help you, since discontinuing after that will start your menses.
However, if you continue to bleed or spot which is becoming bothersome to you, probably Copper T is not suitable for you and you may opt for some other method or you may switch back to Mirena. In fact when Mirena had suited you, there was no necessity to change to CuT.
I hope this helps you.
