Not at all! It's normal to have a longer heavier period but like 2-3 days longer. You need to go to your doctor ASAP!

Is it normal after IUD removal to have normal periods for three months then spotting the fourth month?

Your menstrual pattern four months after IUD removal is not related to the IUD. Take a pregnancy test, since your period in the fourth month without birth control was only spotting. If you continue to have spotty periods even with a negative pregnancy test, you can call your health care provider for advice if it's concerning to you.


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.


You have used Mirena for about a year and a half you have always had a period every month but you have not had one in the last three months is this normal while using this IUD?

Yes, absent periods are a normal side effect of Mirena.


Is it normal to have a long period while using and IUD as a birth control?

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. The Mirena IUD, which contains levonorgestrel, may cause irregular periods in the first months of use, but over time you can expect fewer periods and less bleeding.


Is it important to feel the IUD in your body?

When the IUD is in normally, you don't feel it during your normal activities. It's good to check the string once a month or so by inserting a finger in your vagina and making sure the string feels just about as long as it was last month.

I have had the marina IUD in for about a year now but for some reason your nipples have been very sensative lately and you havent had a period for this month is this normal?

The Mirena IUD causes most people to stop having a period, so yes, this is normal.


Is the IUD used to stop your period?

It helps to lighten the periods or even to stop them, it could stop all together or you can skip a month or two at a time.


Does a copper IUD stop periods?

There is nothing in the IUD that will stop you from ovulating and having a menstrual period.


When should you get your IUD out?

You should have your IUD removed at the end of its normal life, or when you want to get pregnant.


Do you have a period when you have an IUD?

Yes. Depending on the type of IUD some women have heavier periods for the first 6 months, others including the Mirena are supposed to cause lighter periods and many women will have no periods at all. If the period is very painful, heavier than normal or accompanied by a fever you should be seen by your medical professional.


After removing an IUD can it mess up your periods?

Yes, it takes a while for your own hormones to deal with the loss of the hormones produced by the IUD.
