Hello ma'am and welcome.
The coil can at times interfere with the regular menstrual cycle and when this happens the individual is requested to report to the prescribing doctor at their earliest convenience.
It is difficult to comment on the cause, but as is protocol, pregnancy will also have to be ruled out.
Hope this helps.
Best wishes.
