Does removing an IUD delay menstruation?

Patient's question:

I had my IUD removed from the hospital on December 14th. Usually, I get my period on the 28th of each month, but I haven't had my period yet. Is this normal? Can removing the IUD cause a delay in menstruation?

Doctor's answer:

The decalcification process may cause some damage to the endometrium and have a slight impact on menstruation.
