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.
2. Have the IUD removed. To get your IUD out, your doctor will first insert a speculum, which is a tool used to widen your vagina in order to see your cervix better. Now that the IUD can clearly be seen, your doctor will insert ring forceps to grasp the strings of your IUD. She will gently pull on the strings and the IUD will come out.
