An IUD can be inserted at any time during a woman's cycle if the clinician can be reasonably certain that the woman is not pregnant. It may be easier to insert during a period, but that isn't strictly necessary. It may be inserted at the time of a first trimester abortion, but there's a higher risk of expulsion if inserted after a later pregnancy ends, so it's typically 4-6 weeks until insertion after a delivery.
Limitations based on age or the number of children are no longer the standard of care. See ACOG guidelines for the latest information on choosing an appropriate IUD candidate.
I had the Copper IUD removed after 1 week being put in due to the fact I was allergic to the copper, which I didn't know. The same procedure to put it in still takes place but it's removed faster than the actual insertion of the IUD. I think from walking into the room, setting up, doing the clamps again, checking to see if the IUD went through my lining, and removal was a total of 10 minutes for me to walk out of the room. The actual procedure was 3-4 minutes. I felt immediate relief from the numbness in my leg, the high blood pressure and heart rate fell dramatically so that was a huge relief. I almost actually had a stroke with my extremely high heart rate and blood pressure which was causing the severe migraine and numbness down my right leg. Good luck! If I had to do it again, I would get the IUD without copper but after experiencing what I did, I will NOT do it again.
You can start the IUD at any time in your cycle. Contrary to tradition, studies show that inserting during your period does not make it easier. When you get the IUD, though, you should be able to have confidence that you're not pregnant.
You should start Birth Control as soon as possible after removing the IUD. Ideally, you'd start a hormonal method a week before removing the copper IUD, or on the same day that you stop the hormonal IUD. Talk to your health care provider for advice specific to your situation.
Normally it is inserted during or just after menstruation, but it can be taken out any time.
You can get the IUD removed at any time in your cycle, any time you would like to discontinue it.
If you don't remove your IUD, there are no dangers, except that a hormonal IUD will become less effective.
If you like, the IUD can be removed the minute after it's inserted. It would be a little silly, but it can be done.

How do you switch your birth control method from the pill to an IUD?
To switch from the IUD to the birth control pill, start taking the pill seven days before IUD removal if possible. Otherwise, start the pill the day of IUD removal and use a backup method of birth control for the first seven days. (The exception: if you get Paragard removed and start the pill during the first five days of your period, no backup is necessary. That doesn't work with the hormonal IUDs, though.)
