I think it is time for you to change your contraceptive. If you are new to using IUD you should look for contraceptive in the form of a pill. If you have been using it for some time you will know that there are many side effects to using this form of contraceptive.


Although, many other women that are using IUD have the opposite problem, there menstrual cycle is an unusually heavy flow which lasts longer than their normal period. The biggest negative side effect of using IUD is menstrual irregularities, which in your case is rather serious. 

Your problem is not unusual, however your period should return to normal when the IUD is removed.


I strongly suggest you have it removed as soon as you can. In the time being, eat the right foods to maintain your health as many women become ill from not menstruating if they are not pregnant. Eat a balanced diet which includes lots of fresh fruit and vegetables and also drunk lots of water. Tea will also help you to flush out the anti-oxidants in your body. But most importantly, speak with your health care provider and have the IUD removed. A pregnancy test will be a good idea.
