Hello,
Copper T is not a hormone based device hence, it doesnt cause delayed periods. There is either a failure of the device or an unrelated hormone dysfunction. Do a pregnancy test if your period is delayed by more than a week. If its positive, see your doctor immediately. If its negative, your doctor can give you medicine to get your period. Plus the cause for the delay should be investigated.
