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.
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.
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.
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.
