A member asked:

5 days late and on copper iud , it's been in for 8 months ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It's all about timin: It takes approximately 9 days from conception until a pregnancy can be detected by a blood test. If you can feel the string of the iud it's in place. To be sure wait a few more days and get a pregnancy test.
