General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Menstrual disturbances like delay in getting periods, heavy bleeding, brownish discharge and intermittent spotting are likely to occur during first few months while you are placed on IUD.
Gradually, these things should settle down to normal by about 6 months.
In case you are doubtful, you can take a urine pregnancy test and consult Gynecologist for clinical evaluation and appropriate management.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
I find this answer helpful
