Irregular w IUD?

Question

I’ve had my copper iud for over a year now and never had a pregnancy scare and aside from the first two-three months have been extremely regular and now I’m over a week late. 
Anyone else have these issues with your period randomly skipping after being regular for a year w the iud?

Answer

Yes, I skipped a period on it in June of last year and I have others that come so late in the month I just count them as skipped. I think I've had mine for 5 years? No one can ever explain why this happens either.

Answer

Skipping a period is not usually associated with the copper IUD. That is usually associated more with hormonal versions of the IUD. The copper version usually is associated with longer, heavier cycles with increased cramping for the first several months, then many women go back to a cycle that is more “normal”. If you have missed your period with a copper IUD it’s recommended that you contact your doctor, especially since you haven’t experienced this in the past with this form of BC.
