I wouldn't say there's no way you can be pregnant but the chances are slim. The symptoms could be PMS you never know and the period might just be delayed because of the withdrawal. Though copper coil isn't a hormonal contraceptive it could still give you some delay as the regular cycles are getting back to natural hormonal control. Wait for a few days and if the AF doesn't show up you can get an HPT to check if you're pregnant.

You're welcome! I can totally understand. In both the cases when you're trying to conceive or you're trying to avoid conceiving (which I assume was your case) you need to be watchful all the while. And even the slightest symptoms could be ambiguous ... it's up to you to sort through.

Oh no no I wasn't judging you or anything. Even if I have struggled to have children of my own over my infertility I totally agree it's choice when and how many babies you choose to have. One should have when they are ready... both of them. I just presumed you weren't on TTC as you had a Copper T inserted for contraception.

Oh that was really sweet and generous of you. Thanks a tonne! I have scar tissues that prevented me from getting pregnant so far. Well, I happen to conceive or able to with assisted fertility but it won't stick. Scar tissue from lap to remove the endometriosis, though that's not the only thing... my cycles have always been whimsical. Well, the latter part was fixed with medication and monitored cycles I assume or else wouldn't have had been able to conceive. I have 2 detected chemicals during my IVF and from the symptoms I know there's more than that. So I guess there's not much that can help me after several failed attempt at IVF. We're not up for surrogacy yet, couldn't make our mind and neither we can fund it for the moment. So we decided to take our time over it and meanwhile go back to the basic TTC in the meanwhile. But thanks anyway... its was huge one.
