A. Since you were advised to adopt Copper T (IUD) within one and a half months after delivery but couldn’t do so, here’s what you can do now: 1. Consult Your Gynecologist for Timing Copper T can still be inserted anytime after 6 weeks postpartum, as long as: You are not pregnant again. You do not have any infection or abnormal vaginal bleeding. 2. Get a Pelvic Check-Up First Visit your doctor for a pelvic exam to ensure your uterus has returned to normal size and there are no complications. Once cleared, the Copper T can be safely inserted. 3. Current Contraceptive Needs Until Copper T is inserted, make sure you are using a temporary contraceptive method like: Condoms (safe and hormone-free). Mini pills (progesterone-only pills safe during breastfeeding). Lactational Amenorrhea Method (LAM) if: Your baby is under 6 months, You are exclusively breastfeeding, and You have not resumed periods. Note: LAM is effective only under these conditions. 4. Alternative Long-Term Options (if you change your mind about Copper T) Hormonal IUD (e.g., Mirena) Antara injection (3-month contraception) Permanent options (if family is complete) Summary You can still get Copper T inserted now after a check-up. The ideal time was within 6 weeks, but it's still effective and safe later. Just ensure you are not already pregnant and discuss any symptoms or health issues with your doctor before insertion.
