 Warning Signs Post IUD insertion:

INFECTION:
Infection is rare but it must be treated immediately. If you have the following symptoms:

  • Pain in the lower abdomen that seems to be worsening
  • New pain in the lower abdomen during intercourse
  • Abnormal or offensive vaginal discharge

LOSS OF IUD:
You may lose the IUD or IUS. This may occur during the first weeks after its insertion. 
The loss of an IUD may not be felt or:
  • you could have abnormal cramps in the lower abdomen
  • you might feel a tiny hard end (the bottom of the IUD or IUS) in your cervix.
Should this happen, make an appointment at the clinic and use a condom each time you have
intercourse until you are examined.

Other warning signs to contact your family doctor, our clinic or emergency:

  • If you suspect pregnancy contact your family doctor, our clinic for an appointment
  • If you experience severe pelvic cramps and/or heavy vaginal bleeding that is outside your normal flow

Consult the clinic, family doctor or emergency as soon as possible.
