What Causes Delay In Menstruation After Removing Copper IUD?
Hi there, I had my copper IUD removed on July 2, 2015 to try and conceive my second child. I was due for my period on July 6th and it is now July 20th and I have yet to start. I have taken 3 different pregnancy test and all were negative. Is it normal for periods to be so delayed after removal? I was under the impression that since the ParaGard IUD did not have hormones, that my cycle would not be affected. Any insight would be appreciated! Thanks, Bryana

Hi,
Are you taking any medications? Sometimes, menstrual delay may happen and we can rule it out. I suggest you to take USG pelvis and Beta HCG, LH and FSH blood test and consult your gynecologist.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
