I was wondering if it's normal for my periods to be longer since I got my hormonal IUD inserted?

It is normal for menstrual periods to be different and irregular in the 3 to 6 months following the insertion of a hormonal IUD. However, this should normalize over time. If your periods remain longer than usual, it is recommended to discuss this with your doctor. It is important to note that the effectiveness of your IUD as a contraceptive method is not affected by changes in your menstrual cycle. Over time, your periods should become less heavy, and some women may even experience them disappearing completely.
