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.

Once Mirena is removed, the periods will return to how they were before insertion. Mirena can delay fertility once it has been removed, but it may not completely inhibit it.
