Question

Answer
Hi,
  It can take up to a year for your breast Milk to be COMPLETELY gone and any manipulation, stimulation, can cause small amounts to leak, that's not uncommon at all.  Sometimes even just clothes rubbing them can cause some release of residual milk.

You may be cramping from the IUD.

The chance of pregnancy with a IUD in very, very small BUT
ANY pain needs to be checked out. Esp. if If think you might be pregnant.

Other reasons to contact your doctor include:
If find that the string length has become shorter or longer or you are not able to feel the string

If you feel the hard plastic bottom of the "T" of the IUD against the cervix

have periods that are much heavier or last much longer than usual, have severe abdominal cramping, pain, or tenderness in the abdomen pain or bleeding during sex

unexplained fever and/or chills

flu-like symptoms - muscle aches, fatigue

unusual vaginal discharge

a missed, late, or unusually light period
unexplained vaginal bleeding

Call your doc today ok?
