Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
Passing large clots from vagina is not a healthy sign and needs evaluation. It could have been as a result of infection or allergic reaction to the previously placed IUD.
Kindly get the following tests done and cosult Gynecologist at the earliest.
1. Serum FSH, LH and prolactin levels.
2. Ultrasound scan of pelvis.
It would be able to mange accordingly. There is no point in waiting for long.
Hope the information provided would be useful.
All the best.
