"I took this med for IUD procedure the night before. I had no side effects just a little cramping but then 2 days later I started having heavy bleeding like I am having my period, my period just went off that Monday and I inserted that Thursday night for a procedure Friday morning. I want to know how how long will it stay on? I usually have 2 good days of heavy bleeding, and its the 3rd day. Praying that it shuts off by Thursday."
