It depends on the IUD. I was on Mirena and I missed several periods, I can't tell you about other makes.

I have a IUD for thre and a half years. I havn't had a single period.

It depends whether you get a hormonal or non-hormonal IUD. I have an IUD that is non hormonal, and just contains copper. This causes a hostile environment for sperm (as copper kills sperm) without affecting my ovulation or other hormonal patterns. Hormonal IUD's are available which repress ovulation and some can also create a mucus plug which aids in preventing sperm from getting past the cervix. Nice to know we have options :)

Getting pregnant with an IUD in place is rare but it does happen. If you feel that you may be pregnant with an IUD in place you should take a home pregnancy test and/or see a Dr as soon as possible due to possible health risks to you and to the pregnancy.


Is it possible that once the IUD is out your period will continue back on track?

If you had the Paragard removed, you can expect your next period at the usual time, as the copper IUD does not change the timing of the menstrual cycle. If you had Mirena removed, your period may be irregular for a month or so before settling into its new pattern.
