At first, the Paragard IUD actually makes your period worse. This is because the copper, which acts as a spermicide, causes inflammation in your uterus. This also serves as a contraceptive, because the inflammation makes it more difficult for spern to reach the egg. However, after several months (five for me), your periods will indeed begin to lighten. My Paragard was inserted in September 2011, and now in February 2012, they are beginning to lessen, and according to my gynecologist, they may eventually stop completely. If and when this occurs, it is important to have regular checkups with your gynecologist to ensure that the IUD has not migrated, and you must also check your string length regularly.
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.
Paragard may change the flow, cramping, or duration of bleeding but not the timing of bleeding.
