Hello,
With Copper coil pregnancy is rare
You have crossed 15 days of your missed period
You are dizzy
Pregnancy test is negative
Suggestions:
1) X-ray abdomen - to find the position of Copper coil
2) A blood pregnancy test
If the copper coil is in situ and pregnancy test is negative, consult and investigate for other systemic causes for dizzyness
Best wishes
