Hi, I got the non-hormonal copper iud inserted 7 days ago, the day my period was due. However my periods don?t always come on the exact date they are due and my doctor decided to insert the iud anyway. 7 days later, I still have the iud but no period. I?m wondering if I should be concerned or does the iud delay periods?
