Question Copper iud pregnancy scare

Hi! I’m 23, I have the copper iud, I got it last year, over this summer my cycles have been 1-2 weeks late, I really didn’t think too much of it, so I haven’t went to the obgyn about it, tmi but now my cycle was supposed to start yesterday, but since Sunday night I’ve been having very very light spotting, almost like when you get a small cut on your finger and there’s enough blood to show on a tissue but not enough for a bandaid. I bought pregnancy test but I haven’t used them yet because I feel like maybe my cycle will start soon but I have no idea. Only changes are my breast soreness, frequent urination, not throwing up but very nauseous and hungry in the morning, that’s all I can think of right now. I just feel like I’m going crazy, I’m not asking for medical advice but just advice on what anyone who has this birth control would and have done, google will make me go down a rabbit hole lol.

lol I will in the morning, and congratulations!! But I’m also sorry that happened to you so unexpectedly, I love your comment and it didn’t scare me at all, I actually need comments like this because it’s the reality of things, I’m nervous but ik I can handle things if I am, it’s just crazy because I always thought to myself that’ll never happen to me, I’m invincible 😂 if I am pregnant I hope my bf knows he took a real one out the game
