Question: Hi, I had a copper IUD after 4 years on October 9th. For as long as I can remember my cycle has been 32 days. There have been some times where its a day or so late, and a few times I've been under a lot of stress and its come a little later. The month I had the IUD removed my period was 9 days late. I then had a normal cycle. In December I believe I had an early miscarriage, although never got a positive pregnancy test. I had back pain from around the time implantation would have been and then started getting a horrible metallic taste in my mouth and a really enhanced sense of smell and some nausea. I continued to have back pain until 3 days before my period when I started bleeding for 3 days. It was rather clotty and all of my symptoms disappeared over the course of the first day of bleeding. I had 3 very awful days of feeling listless, unable to get out of bed, unable to eat and uncontrollably weepy.
I then had a period exactly 3 weeks later, with normal PMT symptoms beforehand and I bled for 4 days. That was the last bleed I have had. A week before I expected my period to come (based on 32 days), I had awful mood swings, a skin breakout, exhaustion, hot flashes and just generally felt very hormonal and low. I expected my period, but it never came. I then started feeling queasy and getting headaches. This stopped last Tuesday. I have done 8 pregnancy tests from the point my period was due, and had a negative blood test as well.

I'm rather confused as to what could be going on. Could this be related to the miscarriage, the IUD removal, could I still be pregnant or could there be something else like fibroids or thyroid problems. (Thyroid problems run in my family, but I had blood tests in August which were fine.).
