### **General Guidelines**
1. **Immediate Rest**:
- **First 24-48 Hours**: It's usually recommended to rest for at least the first 24 to 48 hours after the insertion to allow your body to adjust.
2. **Light Activities**:
- **After 48 Hours**: You can generally start with light activities, such as walking. Avoid strenuous exercise initially.
3. **Intense Exercise and Dance**:
- **After 1-2 Weeks**: Most people can gradually resume more intense exercises and dance activities within 1-2 weeks. However, listen to your body and avoid any movements that cause discomfort.
4. **Monitor Symptoms**:
- **Discomfort**: If you experience any unusual pain, heavy bleeding, or other symptoms, consult your healthcare provider before resuming intense activities.
### **When to Consult Your Doctor**
- **Severe Pain**: If you experience severe abdominal pain or discomfort.
- **Heavy Bleeding**: If you have heavy bleeding or any other concerning symptoms.
- **Follow-Up**: Attend any follow-up appointments with your healthcare provider to ensure the IUD is properly positioned and to discuss any specific concerns you may have.
Always follow your healthcare provider’s specific instructions for post-insertion care and activity limitations to ensure a smooth recovery and effective use of the Copper T.
