I think it's normal for some women. I always bleed more when I get hot- in the summer or when physically active. The heat and exercise also reduce the amount of cramping that I experience so I get a little good with the bad. I don't think you have anything to worry about unless it gets truly excessive.
Be well.

Why wouldn't it be safe? The IUD is not meant to be removed so anything that you do while wearing it is fine.
