thank you so much for asking your question on healthcare magic. I will do my best to help you.

even though I is very rare, occasionally the copper IUD can fail and a pregnancy can occur. so if your period does not come at all in the next week or so, you should definitely get a pregnancy test just to make sure you aren't pregnant.

if the test is negative and you still don't have your period, there are many reasons that could explain it. a urine infection can sometimes delay your me prior a little bit, as the stress of the illness can delay your period a little. so if your periods return in a week or two it was probably just a one time event due to illness and no reason to worry too much.

however, if your periods still don't return and you are not pregnant, you should see your doctor for a full workup to figure out why you stopped having periods.

I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any more questions.
