Brief Answer:
Hormonal disturbances likely

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Delayed periods can be due to pregnancy or hormonal disturbances like hypothyroidism.
Increased weight with delayed periods are found on hypothyroidism also.
The failure rate of copper T is 1%, hence rare possibility of pregnancy is there.
I will suggest you to get a urine pregnancy test done, if negative, then you should get your hormonal profile done and get appropriate treatment.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
