Since then I stopped having my period and I ve taken several pregnancy tests but they are negative. I m worried because I m still bloated and I wanted to what I can do to get my period back.

Hello,
There is a buildup of progesterone after IUD insertion to avoid pregnancy. And even after the removal of IUD, progesterone is continued to be released in a small amount into our system for around six months.
Bloating may be due to temporary hyperacidity which can be relieved by taking an antacid preparation such as omeprazole.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care.
