Is Delayed Menstruation A Side Effect Of IUD Removal?
Question: Hi there i had iud removed on november 12th after 7 months of heavey ongoing bleeding. I am now 5 days late for my period and i wonder if removing the iud can change cycles? I have had sex twice since removal and bleeding stopped but used condoms both times so unlikley i would be pregnant ?
Brief Answer:
Possible effect of IUD
Detailed Answer:
Hi and welcome to HCM.
Yes, this is most likely to be the effect of IUD and cycle may change soon after placement or removal of IUD. However, if you have any doubts, you should do pregnancy test for confirmation, since condom is not 100% safe as you probably would've known already.
Wish you good health.
Regards
