It could also be related to how your cervix changes over your cycle, but that baffles me because surely gynecologists would know that and try to time things correctly if it made things easier for women.

Do they time it based on your cycle at all?

Close to ovulation, your cervix goes really soft and opens up, close to your period it changes position, goes really firm and closes.

I haven't gotten an IUD so I have no personal experience with the process, but I imagine that trying to put an object through the cervix into the uterus would be best done at ovulation when your cervix is open. And probably extremely difficult and painful to try to do when your cervix is shut tight.

No, they time it when they have appointments open.
