Okay.  3weeks ago I had my Copper IUD removed.  The day it was removed was the last day of my period so is was CD 5.  My dh and I decided we couldn't wait any longer and fooled around.  I should have had my period 4 days ago.  I usually have major pre menstrual signs when its getting close but I've had none.  I've taken atleast 4 hpt but they all say negative.  The only symptoms I have are really tender breasts and I have to go to the bathroom.  Should I wait a few more days before I call the dr and say whats going on.

Hi there,

It's possible that the removal of your IUD has upset the balance, so to speak, and caused a delay in ovulation. While the removal might not have been a big deal to you at the time, your uterus would have had to have adjusted to the sudden change in conditions in there.

Other things like stress, illness, sudden weight loss or gain, or even some types of ovarian cysts can all cause delays in ovulation.

If you've got tender breasts, I suggest you wait a few more days until you contact your doctor. If ovulation was delayed then your period could be on its way shortly. Alternatively you might be pregnant, but your HSG levels might not be high enough to get a reading yet, or if you had a delay in ovulation, it might be too early to test.
