Hello,

Yes, it can happen. Sometimes, after removal of IUD there is delay in periods as there is hormonal imbalance. It can also be due to stress, habitat chance. As you were not sexually active after copper T removal, there is less likely that you are pregnant. Still, you can confirm as there is still a chance of contraceptive failure.

Have healthy diet, remove stress. If there is 1 month delay in periods, get a UPT test followed by hormonal pills or as advised by your doctor.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Richa Agarwal, OBGYN
