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 :)
While the copper IUD does not normally stop periods, a woman may miss a period for a number of reasons. Pregnancy and stress are common ones. Consider a pregnancy test if you're having other symptoms.
Yes, you can get an IUD check during your period.
you can get the IUD removed when ever you want it pervents you from getting your period
If you have the copper IUD (Paragard in the US), you will get a period. If you have the Mirena IUD, containing progestin, your period will likely stop after a few months of irregular bleeding.
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.
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.
Yes, you can have spotting without a period while using an IUD.
There can be a small amount of spotting when the IUD is removed, but that's not a period.
Yes, you can have the IUD removed at any time.
Missing a period once in five years is normal with or without the IUD.
A copper IUD will not delay your period. The same things can cause a delayed period in women with or without the copper IUD. These include pregnancy and hormonal fluctuations.
It's easiest for you and your health care provider to have the IUD inserted during your period.
