My doctor also told me I would have my period at my normal time. I started bleeding (not heavy) the second night after removal for about 3-4 days. I then bled again at my normal cycle time (which was 5 days after the removal bleeding). So far, I have had no other bleeding and my cycles run around the middle of the month. I am waiting to see how the anxiety, etc is this month when it gets closer. I have had mine out for 1 month today.
