What Causes Delayed Periods While Having An IUD Insert?

I haven t gotten my period in 2 months but I have the IUD (birth control) inplanted so this has just recently became common and I have yet to get it but right now as I went to the restroom I wiped and there was a lot of blood and when I looked into the toilet there was a couple of clots of blood. Should I be worried? Miscarriage?

Hello,

IUD very commonly cause irregular bleeding, heavy bleeding or scanty bleeding. The cause is a change in the hormonal balance of the body due to IUD.

Chances of a contraception failure, conceiving and followed by a miscarriage are remote.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr AJEET SINGH, General & Family Physician
