Copper coil IUD bleeding

I had the copper coil (iud) fitted 3 weeks ago. I had a period immediately after it was fitted that lasted around 9 days, I've had light spotting and now it looks like another period is starting again already!!

Is this normal? I was aware some women experience spotting for the first few months after getting an iud fitted or irregular period /heavier periods. But I feel my period only just ended and I already have another oneConfused

When does this all settle down?

Sorry but I bled pretty much constantly for 6 months afterwards. It then settled down and has been fine for the last 8 years. Not sure I will go for another one though when this one has to come out.
