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.
Return to fertility after IUD removal may be immediate.17 Women who switch from a copper IUD (Paragard) to a progestin IUD should use barrier contraception during the first week. When women switch to a progestin implant from a copper IUD, they should start the new method four days before removing the copper IUD.
