Copper coil, how long does the bleeding after fitting last?

Does anybody know how long bleeding after having a copper coil fitted is supposed to last?
I had it fitted on Friday. The bleeding is more than spotting, around a day 3 period bleed for an average period. Every type of contraception I have tried has caused spotting throughout my cycle. I am hoping as this is non hormonal it won't be the same and now I'm being paranoid that it will be the same.

For me, either less than a day, or some for 2-3 days like a period. And then stopped and zero problems. Some people bleed more though - contact them if concerned.

When I had mine fitted (about 4 years ago) I had what amounted to a 3 day period type bleed. Periods were a bit irregular for a little while, then settled down into my usual pattern when not on any hormonal contraception. I did use a period tracker (which was aimed at those TTC) to help monitor things, which proved useful as I'm menopausal now.

Thanks both! So seemingly nothing to be concerned about yet. Here's hoping it will settle down soon.
