yes, it can affect your cycle because it tricks the body into thinking you have an implanted fetus--that is why it works to prevent pregnancy Joymaker rn
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.
Irregular bleeding with the IUD is not unusual. See your health care provider to make sure all is well with the IUD, since this bleeding is a change in your prior pattern.
If you're using a hormonal IUD then yes, it can cause irregular bleeds. As hormonal birth control stops your menstrual cycles in order to stop ovulation it can stop menstruation, instead you can experience withdrawal bleeds and it is normal for these to be a little irregular.
Some women will have irregular or prolonged bleeding when first starting the IUD. This symptom improves with time.
The IUD should not make it difficult to climax. If you are worried about the safety of the IUD during sex, that could interfere with your nervous system's ability to achieve orgasm. Rest assured that sex will not make the IUD pop out, and orgasm will not cause the IUD to make problems for you.
There is no way to be pregnant with an IUD. You also will have irregular cycles throughout the year having an IUD
If you're using Mirena, the IUD that releases progestin, your period usually will stop, although you may have irregular spotting in the first weeks or months of use. If you're using the copper IUD, your periods will not stop. If your period has been regular since using the IUD, and then stopped, take a pregnancy test.
Yes, the copper IUD (intrauterine device), brand-named Paragard in the US, can cause irregular periods, heavier periods and increased cramps. These side effects are more common in the first six months after the IUD is inserted.

I got my IUD on July 8 2010 I had my first day of my normal period upon insertion. Bleed for 5 days. Then had continuous spoting until July 21 were I got my period again. I was told that irregular bleeding is normal. However, I will be calling my dr in the am to make sure that this its right
An IUD does not make your body think that you are pregnant. Depending on your body you may find that your cycle can be extremly heavy for the first 6-8 months and then it tends to slow down. Some women may even loose their cycle after about a year and a half after having the IUD put in place. This doesn't mean that your body thinks its pregnant. Its only because the linning of your uterus has been shed away over that year and the linning does not come back while the IUD is keeping your uterus open. The IUD does not pass out hormones to tell your body that it is pregnant like a real pregnancy. Certain IUD's can have hormones with them but not to the extent of making your body feel pregnant.
No; the IUD does not make a hole in your uterus, nor does removal. It rests in the empty space in the uterus.
