Is it normal to bleed bright red with blood clots the day after having your IUD removed?

AnswerI had my IUD removed last monday. I was spotting when I had it removed( I'm not sure if it was my period or not cause it hasn't really been normal since I had it put in 2 1/2 years ago) and then I had a really heavy day of bleeding, then it was light for a few days then It was really heavy with clotting and everything this morning, now it seems to be gone again.

My Story:

I had mine removed last Tuesday. No spotting or cramping. After a few days, started what seemed to be a period. But it didn't get any lighter, and blood stayed quite red. A week later, passed a terrifying amount of blood clots (literally about the size of a dinner plate), and continue to bleed heavily. 8 days after removal, soaked a super tampon and the back up pad in less than 20 minutes. This is incredibly abnormal for me. The doc said to start taking BC pill and should help regulate everything.
