Delayed Periods, Excessive Bloating, Cramping. IUD Placed. Pregnancy Chances?
I have excessive bloating and my period should have started on the 22nd. I thought I was getting my period two days ago(23rd) but it was very light. Only visible when i would wipe and it lasted 2 days. I had a bit of cramping prior but none since. I have an IUD( paragard ) that has been in place since last Oct. So no possibility I am pregnant. I have not been able to find my strings since it was put in...but I have had my period regularlly(although VERY heavy) so haven t been worried. I am 99% sure i am not pregnant but worried about how bloated I look.

Hi, welcome to HCM
there are very less that is 0.1%chances of getting pregnant even after IUd.
Very scanty bleeding can be because of vaginal infection as well as cause of bloating .
This bloating can be the effect of progestrone hormone.
Please have a urine pregnancy test after 1 week of your period that is on 1st october.
You can contact after that.
Dont warry it will subside with out treatment.
Thanks
