Is this normal? Missed period after IUD removal?
by Liz0823, Apr 15, 2009 02:02PM
I haven't had sex with anyone in almost two months. I had an IUD removed about 5 weeks ago, on April 12. I have been taking the pill for three months. I had my period the week after I had the IUD removed, and should have my period again this week but so far, nothing. I have had a heavy discharge, but no bleeding or spotting. I did have some cramping yesterday though. Is this normal to miss a period after an IUD removal, or is there something wrong?

Did you have the Mirena or the Copper IUD? Because of the major hormone change when the Mirena is removed your system will take a few months to get back to normal. Missing a period would be considered normal if you had the Mirena.

I did have the Mirena. Thanks so much for your help!
