Question
I had an IUD removed on November 3, 2009 and i started bleeding on November 7 it stopped on November 14 only to start back 2-3 days later.  How long is it suppose to last it is bright red now.

Answer
It's a little unusual to have abnormal bleeding after having an IUD removed.  I can't tell you how long it's supposed to last, since it's not supposed to happen.  If it doesn't stop soon I'd see your doctor to figure out why you're bleeding.  Sorry I can't be more helpful.
