hello dear.
understand your concern.
don't worry ,you cant b pregnant,its just because of side effect of copper t.
copper t has 0.5 -1 % failure rate but least chance to pregnant ,so don't worry.
copper t has some side effects like bleeding (spotting or irregular or heavy bleeding)& cramps,allergy,vaginal discharge, cuts & injury within uterus,nausea,backache,ectopic pregnancy,pelvic inflammatory disease .etc...

just calm,don't be panic.or if you have more confusion then do UPT & confirm pregnancy.
hope this will guide you.
