Inserting an IUD. Timing. An IUD can be safely inserted at any time during the menstrual cycle. Traditionally, clinicians have been taught to insert an IUD during menses because the patient was very unlikely to be pregnant and because they have been told that the cervix dilates during menstrual flow, allowing easier introduction of the IUD. No literature exists proving cervical dilation occurs with menses.
An IUD is a small plastic and copper device that is put into your uterus (womb). It has one or two threads on the end. These thin threads hang through the opening at the entrance of your uterus (cervix) into the top of your vagina. There are different types and sizes of IUD to suit different women. There is a very small chance of you getting an infection during the first 20 days after an IUD is put in. 2  You may be advised to have a check for any possible existing infection before an IUD is fitted. 3  The IUD can be pushed out by your uterus (expulsion) or it can move (displacement).This is not common.
