    Thick discharge from IUD still going after removal

    I had an IUD in for about a month. Everything was going ok except I had really gooey, stretchy discharge. I went in to get checked out and I didn't have an infection, it was just how my body adjusted to having the IUD. My cervix was also red and irritated looking. Well I got it out because I didn't want to deal with that discharge and it just didn't feel right for me at this point in my life. The problem is I STILL have the thick discharge. Does anyone else have this problem? Does it go away or am I now stuck like this for life?

    I think it is highly unlikely that I am just ovulating because I have had it out for almost a month and I am also breastfeeding. Plus I've never had discharge this thick with ovulation. The last time I had a period was Dec 2006.

    i am having the same experience.. i had my IUD (Copper T) inserted early last month.. i bleed for more than 2 weeks.. after the bleeding i started getting thick white stuff/discharge... its been more than a month since i had the IUD inserted and everyday i get this thick white discharge.sometimes its only a tiny bit, and sometimes a lot.. im pretty sure i am not ovulating everyday.... the month is almost over and i am waiting for my period to come for this month... i will see how it goes first and what happens after the period stops, if i'd still be getting this thick white stuff...

    i dnt really know if this is normal... but for now i have not experience anything bad with my IUD (knock on the wood).

      I know that the discharge is normal while you have the IUD in. As long as it is white and does not have an oder. It is just how your body adjusts to it for some women. What is getting me is that I had it removed and I still get the stretchy white goo.
