Can an IUD stop your period?

Can an IUD Influence Your Menstrual Cycle?

Higher-dose IUDs tend to be more effective in stopping menstrual periods, while lower-dose IUDs generally result in lighter monthly bleeding. If you are using a copper IUD, it's common to continue having a regular monthly period; however, some users may experience heavier, longer, or more painful periods, particularly in the initial months after insertion.
