IUD REMOVED...PERIOD LATE

Salde

So....i took my IUD out because apparently it had been inserted wrong. Causing me pain, funky smells, and im sure it contributed PARTIALLY to my chemical imbalance. BUT ... .....its been out for months and my period is 5 days late. Im remembering all the fucked up side effects and weighing them to the side effects of pregnancy. Panic ....is the word i wanna use. Basically what im asking is.... does anybody wanna trade a baby for their IUD? Lol. Just kidding. Idk if im pregnant but... most BC has a lingering after effect right? Like u cant get pregnant for a year after RIGHT? ...IS THAT RIGHT?
