Hi,

The first thing that is required for this condition is a ultrasound examination of whole abdomen, hormonal irregularities can lead to these symptoms, so correction of hormonal irregularities is required. Copper coil usually does not lead to delayed periods.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
