    I stopped the pill on the 23rd of June, started bleeding on the 25th, still going. Might I add there's SO much blood it's terrible.... I hope it's normal lol. Wonder when it will stop

    Hi Brianna,

    Yes, I had my Merina (IUD) removed and had a withdrawal bleed for 4 days (really really heavy and clots as well - Sorry TMI). Had a days break and then what I assume was AF for 4 days, 6 days break and then AF again! Apparently it is normal to bleed a lot when coming off a contraceptive.

    My Doctor told me if the bleeding goes on for longer than 2 weeks then to go back and you can take some tablets that help it to slow down but in most cases it will taper off within that time. Just try and rest up a little bit, maybe take a multi-vitamin or iron supplement and fingers crossed it eases up a bit.

    My friend also gave me some Raspberry Leaf Tea which supposedly helps sooth the body during Menstration....seemed to work ok
