My periods are very irregular. They last 12 days and I have cramps regularly, even though I am not menstruating. Is this normal?

Hello, I had an IUD (kylena) inserted in October 2021. I recently had blood work done for thyroid, pregnancy and STDs and everything came back negative. I had an ultrasound 1 month ago and my IUD is still in the right place.

Good morning, ma'am,

When did you first notice this?

After the tests, what information did your doctor give you?

I have noticed this for about 3 cycles now and my doctor said that if it continues I should go back to the doctor

Thanks for the feedback!

Indeed, if the situation persists beyond 3 to 6 months, I am of the opinion to consult the doctor in order to rule out other causes and not to delay the management of the situation.
