What Causes Delayed Periods After Placing Mirena IUD?
Hello. About a week ago I had a Mirena IUD inserted. However, it was inserted on the Tuesday and I was supposed to get my regular period on the Thursday( I was also taking birth control pills and we used condoms). But since the insertion I haven t gotten a period. Any reason why? Should I be worried?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Mirena can be associated with a decrease in periods so this is the likely reason that your period is delayed.
Some women can have a significant decrease in menstrual bleeding with this type of contraceptive.
I hope this helps
