I had mine put in in January of this year. On the 6th.

And my bleeding stopped a few weeks ago, it gradually became lighter and was just "spotting" then finally stopped. And I have only had one proper period in January/February. 

Maybe it will stop soon? Give it a bit more time. Is the bleed heavy? I found my bleeding to be thin in consistency. Hopefully your bleeding stops.

Hi bleeding comes out in clots but yes most times thin. I have an appointment soon. Do you get sharp pain on your side I've been getting this on my right side since insertion

They may book you in for an ultrasound scan to check it's placement. 

Mine was fitted during my laparoscopy so I was getting pain for that also. But I still get twinges every so often.

Definitely try and get a scan, may put your mind at rest at least. Hopefully the pain will subside ad the coil settles. X
