What To Expect During an IUD Insertion (ParaGard IUD or Mirena IUD)

Also, be prepared that your first period after the insertion could very well be heavier than normal. It may also come a few days earlier than expected.

Try to schedule a follow-up appointment after your first period (sometime within 4 to 6 weeks of the IUD insertion) just to make sure that the IUD is still in place.
