Is the absence of periods normal with a copper intrauterine device?

The absence of periods while using a copper IUD is not common. Periods usually continue in a regular cycle, similar to when not using a copper IUD. However, it is important to note that although rare, getting pregnant while using a copper IUD is possible. If your period has not arrived within a few days, it is recommended to take a pregnancy test to rule out this possibility.
