I have a copper IUD but my period is 2 days late. Should I worry?

Nope! The IUD is known to lighten or even stop bleeding. You don’t get a real period on birth control, so whether you bleed or not is not an indication of pregnancy.

^ so the copper IUD is non hormonal and therefore you still get real natural periods while on it, but it’s still working and it’s normal for your periods to change up a little. You’re not a machine, your body isn’t going to do the exact same thing at the exact same time every single time x

Thank you @bLUErose9 for correcting me!! I must’ve read their post too fast because I thought they mentioned a hormonal IUD!

It’s normal for cycles to fluctuate, the Cleveland clinic says that a “regular” cycle can be between 21-35 days but things like stress and other external factors can delay a period, best not to stress until it’s super late then take a test

I had a regular period though since I had them.

Your cycle can fluctuate at any time even if they’ve been regular in the past

And if you’ve been under stress/changed diets/ have anxiety etc can also fluctuate your cycle
