I was fitted with a contraceptive device, it is an ordinary device, after two weeks the ultrasound was done all right. The 31st day has passed and I don’t have my period. is it normal for a period to come after? ? The IUD was placed on the first day of menstruation. – Magdalena

In some women, the Mirena device causes menstrual bleeding to stop. It returns when the IUD is removed. If you find that you have missed your period while using the Mirena device, it will be because the hormone is acting on the lining of the womb. The mucosa is thinner and its exfoliation during menstruation is accompanied by less bleeding. So it does not mean pregnancy or menopause. Your own hormone levels remain normal during this time. However, you should always go to the gynecologist after the first menstruation after inserting the IUD. If your period has not started routinely after one month, you should also have your period checked.
