@PrincessBaby: I had the opposite experience and had spotting / bleeding every single day for the first 4-5 months. I'm now at 8 months and I bleed every day except one week a month, I'm getting mine removed next week because of this.

I had the opposite and bled for a while after the IUD was inserted. I did get AF after DS started STTN so maybe it had something to do with that... I had the IUD for a year and during I had light spotting as AF. I had it taken out on Monday and bled for a couple days after. Not sure if I'll go back on an IUD as it made me crampy and the spotting would last for days. I hear that some women have no spotting/bleeding while on the IUD - alas I was not one of those women.

I have a copper iud and had the opposite problem. I think it jump started my period. I got it back at 2 months PP while EBF, even though I didn't get it back until 11 months PP while EBF my first LO (with mini pill). I had a lot of irregular bleeding the first few months after the copper iud insertion. I've had it almost 2 years now and get my period pretty much on schedule every month. Maybe your hormones are still out of whack from BF. Consider yourself lucky!

The paragard is copper, so shouldn't prevent you from menstruating. That said, it can take a while to get your period back and even longer for it to regulate. If you're worried I'd call your doctor. I'm pretty sure I made a few calls after getting mine in, trying to figure out if my experience was normal!
