by bmae, Apr 21, 2008 07:53PM
I have had my copper IUD for over two years now and never had a problem till now. I have always had reg. periods that last 5- 7 days. Well last month my period was so very light and only last 3 days and this month I haven't had one at all. I'm about 2 1/2 weeks late. I'm worried because with each of my pregnancies this happend but I never used and form of birth control. I took two test and both came back neg. and suggestions?

Hi,  How long have you had the IUD in place??  I would definitly call your dr and get checked out.  I had mine in for almost 6 yrs(i think could have been 7).  It sounds like somthing is going on with your cycle.  At the very least they can do a blood test to rule out pregnancy.

Good luck
