Period problems due to IUD removal?

[pinkypurple]

Hi all,

My periods have always been regular (30 day cycle) for the past 10 years. After deciding the copper coil side effects weren't worth it, I decided to get it removed after 7/8 months in a clinic in January. According to my period tracker, this would have been a day before ovulation. My period was due a week ago and still have no signs. I haven't had sex and so I can rule out pregnancy. Is it normal for the IUD removal to interrupt period cycle? Should I expect to miss a period or just have a super late one?

Hi I think it can disrupt your normal cycle for a while. They can become more frequent but shorter or later but more heavy.. it does take a while for the body to get back to it's own rhythm. Best thing to do is keep a diary and make a few notes, then if you get concerned you've got the information you need to discuss it with your gp if necessary.

A copper IUD should not change your menstrual pattern. Many many other factors can .
