Hi Anon,
Thank you for sharing your question with the EmpowHER community!
IUDs are a great birth control option and offer high protection. From what you have described, plus the fact that you are on birth control, I would say your chances of pregnancy are extremely low.
However, the only true way to know is by taking a pregnancy test. It is possible you are having an irregular period, which can be caused by many things including medication, stress, travel and more.
Here is a great resource that discusses why a period might be late, for reasons other than pregnancy: https://www.empowher.com/menstrual-cycle/content/think-youre-pregnant-10-other-reasons-your-period-might-be-late
If you still do not have your period next month and your pregnancy test is negative, it would be helpful to talk with a doctor.
Please let me know if you have any other questions!
Best,
