The IUD can be inserted at any time the provider can be sure the patient isn't pregnant. There is no advantage, per studies, in inserting it during the period in terms of discomfort or ease of insertion.

When can you start birth control after removing IUD?
An IUD can be inserted at any time during a woman's cycle if the clinician can be reasonably certain that the woman is not pregnant. It may be easier to insert during a period, but that isn't strictly necessary. It may be inserted at the time of a first trimester abortion, but there's a higher risk of expulsion if inserted after a later pregnancy ends, so it's typically 4-6 weeks until insertion after a delivery. Limitations based on age or the number of children are no longer the standard of care. See ACOG guidelines for the latest information on choosing an appropriate IUD candidate.
Is use of an IUD associated with pelvic inflammatory disease?
IUD usage is strongly associated with the development of PID. Bacteria may be introduced to the uterus while the IUD is being inserted or may travel up the tail of the IUD from the cervix into the uterus.
Is surgery advised if the IUD is embedded?
Hysteroscopy is usually the safest way to remove an embedded IUD. Rather than surgery, a scope is inserted into the uterus, and the doctor removes the IUD during an outpatient procedure.
What can happen if you got pregnant on the IUD but the IUD was in the cervix not the uterus?
If the IUD was in the cervix, it couldn't work properly. If you're pregnant, the IUD must be removed, regardless of whether you want to continue the pregnancy. Then you can choose to continue or terminate the pregnancy. If you choose to terminate, you can have another IUD inserted after the abortion.
