A member asked:

I have an iud and my periods are kind of going away, lately my breast have been feeling tender and heavy. could it be my period?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

IUD ?'s: IUD's, like most other forms of contraception, are not "100%" protective against pregnancy. Breast tenderness is common towards the end of a cycle, but if your period is delayed, get a serum HCG test to be certain about pregnancy.
