Hi,
Thanks for the query.
It would help to know the type of IUD, if it was a copper containing IUD or a hormone containing IUD. Some IUD's contain hormone and cause irregular periods.
Pregnancy is not likely in your case as the insertion was done on day 5 and IUD's are very effective in preventing pregnancies.
The urine test was also done on day 7 after the missed period so pregnancy is unlikely.
I suggest that you check which IUD has been inserted. If it contains hormones like progesterone, then do not worry as it may cause irregular periods. If it is a non hormonal IUD, then you need to see your gynecologist for probable causes which are mostly due to imbalance in hormones.
Hope I was able to help you. Thanks for using Health Care Magic.
I would be happy to answer any further queries.
Have a nice day.

Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
If it is a hormonal IUD there can be a irregularity of periods in beginning. But copper IUDs doesn't have that.One of the main complication of copper IUD is increase in chance of ectopic pregnancy. So you have to rule out that by Urine pregnancy test or ultrasound as you are not getting periods.Hope this may help you.
Let me know if you have any further query.
