Hi,
Thanks for writing to us.
Women menstrual cycle contain two phase one is follicular second is leuteal phase. In the follicular phase ovary has follicle which released egg during ovulation if egg not fertilized it become corpus leuteum that release progesterone that prepare the endometrium to implant the fertilized egg otherwise it sheds off means menstruation occurs.
In your case IUD (Intra uterine device) there which inhibit fertilized egg to implant and some hormone released by IUD inhibit ovulation also.
Your sonogram shows uterus lining is thick but follicle is small means it is not growing so fertilization not occur and endometrium sheds during menstruation.
These symptoms because of hormonal changes also.
You should consult a gynecologist for your symptoms.
Hope I have answered your query.If you have any further questions I will be happy to help you.
Regards,
