Delay In Periods After Inserting Copper T. Urine Test Negative. Any Chances Of Pregnancy?
I am a 26-year-old female, I have inserted copper T May 2012, and I am having intercourse twice a week. My periods delayed now for 2 months. I did a Urine Pregnancy Test , it shows it was negative, but I suspect that I am pregnant as my abdomen shows some bump. Is there a chance that urine pregnancy test fail to rule out pregnancy If copper T is inserted?

Hello, I would be happy to help you with your question.
In the setting of the copper IUD, the chance of pregnancy is extremely low. In addition, if a urine pregnancy test is negative, then I suspect that you are NOT pregnant. There are other reasons for irregularity in your cycle, including diabetes, thyroid disease, and a problem called PCOS, or polycystic ovarian syndrome. These would be great things to discuss with your OB/GYN.
I hope that this helps and good luck!
