Hi,
Thanks for the query.
Intrauterine contraceptive devices can cause menstrual irregularity.
But usually they will subside after few months.
Other possible side effects of intrauterine contraceptive devices are pelvic infection, pain etc.

Contraceptive measures in the form of injections can be used.
The possible side effects are intermenstrual spotting, pain during periods, bloating sensation etc.
But better to use any contraceptive measure with your doctor's advice.
Take care.
