When Is The Right Time To Get A Copper Iud
Question: when is the right time to get a copper iud after a c section delivery?
Brief Answer:
Just after 12 weeks.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
After a C-section it is best to get copper IUD inserted after 12 weeks of surgery and just after the periods have finished.
Usually pregnancy is unlikely to happen during first 10-12 weeks after the cesarean delivery.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.

Wishing you good health.
