copper coil removal

[aimleighxo]

hey!
had my copper iud removed last week. always had regular, painful and heavy periods and always kept on track of them. First time trying for a baby so not sure what to expect but I'm almost 3 days late on. could it be my body adjusting?

TIA

I always had quite regular periods with the copper coil in. When I got it removed, specifically to TTC, suddenly my cycles went longer. Not sure if it had anything to do with the coil or the nerves that came with TTC. Either way, I conceived on the third cycle trying.

I would do a pregnancy test though if I were you!

thank you for your reply.
it werent my fertility window which makes me believe I'm not. but my boobs hurt like crazy but that's the only symptom I have. which normally by now my cramps are intense before my period. I took a test today which was negative but ill wait abit longer

The copper coil shouldn't really alter cycles. Best to test if you are late.

I conceived my twins 9mth after getting a copper coil, they couldn't find it on scans so no idea how long it'd been gone before conception.

I didnt think it would as there's no hormones but I werent 100% sure. I'll leave it abit longer to see if its just delayed.
just thought it was weird how it's gone from painful, heavy regular periods to it being late only a week after having it removed.

You could be pregnant. I had my copper coil removed and 2 weeks later had a positive pregnancy test and I’m now 17 weeks! The only way to find out is to take a test 🙂

could I be pregnant this fast though and with it not being in my fertility window?
