What's going on?

Hi!
I'm 20 and have a hormonal IUD, and I still get my normal period every month.
Normally, I always get mild cramps in my lower abdomen, which tells me my period is coming.
My last period was on May 3. Before that, I had sex with someone a few times, including twice without a condom. But then my period came normally, so I didn't think about pregnancy anymore.
Now I should get my period again on May 31, but I haven't had a single cramp yet? This is very abnormal for me. It's June 2 and I still haven't gotten it, and I'm starting to worry.
But since I had my normal period until May 3 and haven't had sex since then, there's no way I could be pregnant, right?
Who has more experience with this?
Thanks in advance!!

A coil gives 99% certainty, but there are still women who get pregnant despite having a coil. I’d suggest taking a test if you’re not on your period tomorrow. Then you’ll know for sure. And one time having sex can be enough
Good luck with it!

The chance is always there. Why don't you just take a test? Then you'll know right away if you should have already had your period. With an IUD, your hormones are unpredictable anyway, and the standard 'ovulation on day 14' is often not the case. Get a test, check it, and your uncertainty will be gone (hopefully). Kruidvat's 2 for 5 deal is a good recommendation, if I do say so myself. Do you have one in reserve in case you're still unsure next week?
Good luck! -

How long have you had your IUD? With the Mirena, I always had a fairly normal cycle for about 3 months to half a year after insertion, and then my periods stopped. The Mirena is known for making periods lighter or stopping altogether. In principle, I don’t expect pregnancy, but if it does happen, it’s like 1 in a million. Does anyone know someone with an IUD who got pregnant? The woman was already in her early 40s and had older kids haha. Now she has a baby, but all the doctors at the hospital were amazed because it’s really, really exceptionally rare. -

I know 2 women who got pregnant with the Mirena IUD. One had an ectopic pregnancy... just sharing. Definitely take a test to be sure, and I didn't get my period for 3.5 years right after getting the Mirena IUD inserted. -

It just feels weird to me because I’ve always had a regular cycle. I haven’t had sex since then, and still, I’m not getting my period. I’ll wait until tomorrow, and if nothing happens, I’ll take a test. -
