How long is it possible for you to miss your period if you have a IUD?
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 :)
Can you have a period with the IUD?
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.
What does it mean if i get my period early and im on the IUD?
There is no special significance to getting your period early on the IUD, any more than if you got your period early without the IUD. If bleeding continues, or occurs only after sex, contact your health care provider.
Can you get an IUD check during your period?
Yes, you can get an IUD check during your period.
Can an IUD be removed if a woman no longer has a period because of the IUD?
you can get the IUD removed when ever you want it pervents you from getting your period
Do you have period when you have IUD?
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.
I have not had a period while on the IUD. Can i still be spotting though?
Yes, you can have spotting without a period while using an IUD.
Is the blood that comes after taking the IUD out considered your period?
There can be a small amount of spotting when the IUD is removed, but that's not a period.
Can the IUD be removed if you don't have your period?
Yes, you can have the IUD removed at any time.
You have the IUD for 5 years you missed your period this month is that normal?
Missing a period once in five years is normal with or without the IUD.
What can cause a delayed period in a 41 year old woman who has a copper 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.
I set up an appointment to get a IUD put it in but i just started my period and its two days before my appointment. Can a IUD be put in while on your period or well i have to reschedual?
It's easiest for you and your health care provider to have the IUD inserted during your period.
