Hi.
I've gone through your query. I can understand your anxiety.

Usually following  hormonal IUD insertion you might experience symptoms like cramping, on & off bleeding /spotting ,abdominal/pelvic pain, headache/ migraine, back pain etc. These symptoms will settle within 6months.
I advice you to,
- look for the expiry of the effective lifespan of the device
- consult your gynaecologist for a USG pelvis in order to locate if there is any pathology & also for further assistance.
-  Also can take a course of cyclic progestins & oral estrogens as per your doctor guidance, till the spotting stops (if it's trouble some)

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Get well soon.
Regards,
Dr. Yogapriya V, General and family physician.
