It is too early to tell but chance of implantation bleeding is very low because you have an IUD and your PCOS history. So I assume either the first day of your period or sex related vaginal bleeding.

Conception occurs within day or so of the sex. It takes about 3 weeks for the embryo to make enough HCG for a positive pregnancy test. Blood test may be done a day after a missed period. Home pregnancy tests should be done 4-5 days after the missed period. If the result is negative repeat the test in 4-5 days. Use first morning urine and follow instructions for the test carefully.
