    Til you don’t get periods with IUD. Does it just stop? Does the iud somehow stop the cycle?

      IUDs (hormonal ones) thin out your uterine lining to the point where you get little to no bleeding. You still ovulate and go through a “cycle,” you just don’t bleed.

      Supposedly it varies from woman to woman. Mine stopped.

      Gemini claims the mechanism is that the low dosage of progesterone prevents the uterine lining build up.
