Copper coil and pregnancy

Hi there, I'm currently on the non hormonal copper coil. I have been for over 2 years. I am currently 5 days late and I can feel one string to the left. I did have a sickness bug 3 weeks ago and wondered if that could also delay things. My jaw line is covered in acne, which I've never suffered with before. Im going to take a test tomorrow but wondered if anyone had anything like this before.. thanks in advance

Hi, OP -

What was the outcome of your test?

I think a sickness bug could easily throw your cycle off, but I also have a cousin who was born holding his mum’s older (nonhormonal) coil in his fat little hand…..
