Is It Normal To Have Short Periods After Removal Of Paragard?

I had my paragard removed feb 17 which should have been my ovulation day. I thought I started my period on march 2 which would have been on time, however it ended the next afternoon. Was this a real period and is this normal? Should I see a doctor or give it a month and see if it levels out?

Hello,
I have gone through the query and understood your concern. On an average, pregnancy can occur within three months of removal of the copper IUD. Return of fertility is very soon after removal of the device. If you had normal sexual intercourse during the intervening period after removal of the IUD, you should exclude/confirm pregnancy through a HPT or the blood test. HPT should be done 3-7 days after the period. A trans-vaginal sonogram can give you a clarity on the cause. If pregnancy is negative, you should suspect a transient hormone imbalance which usually is self-corrective failing which, you should see a specialist. Hope this helps.
