<bot>: Hi, Thanks for the query. It would help to know the type of IUD, if it was a copper containing IUD or a hormone containing IUD. Some IUD's contain hormone and cause irregular periods. Pregnancy is not likely in your case as the insertion was done on day 5 and IUD's are very effective in preventing pregnancies. The urine test was also done on day 7 after the missed period, so pregnancy is unlikely. I suggest that you check which IUD has been inserted. If it contains hormones like progesterone, then do not worry as it may cause irregular periods. If it is a non-hormonal IUD, then you need to see your gynecologist for probable causes which are mostly due to imbalance in hormones. Hope I was able to help you. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. I would be happy to answer any further queries. Have a nice day.
