What happens to the blood in a uterus when someone has an IUD and doesn’t get a period?

404 viewsBiologyOther

Just got an IUD. Bled the first day a little and should have started my regular period that day but did not and I’m wondering where the blood is cause I can feel the cramps. Then makes me wonder what about the years and years the IUD is in, and you don’t bleed. Where does the blood go??

Do you have a hormonal or a copper IUD? The hormonal ones (Mirena, etc) release estrogen/progesterone like the pill does, so can affect periods. The copper ones are spermicidal.
