Where copper t is inserted?
As someone who has had a Copper T for years, I can share from experience! It's inserted directly into your uterus during a visit to your gynecologist. The actual insertion takes just a minute or two, though you might feel some cramping. The doctor uses a special inserter to place it properly high up in the uterine cavity. The strings are then trimmed so they extend slightly into the vagina for future checks. It's seriously one of the best "set it and forget it" birth control options available.
Copper T IUDs are inserted into the uterine cavity by a trained medical provider. The procedure is typically done during a woman's menstrual period when the cervix is slightly more open, making insertion easier. The device works primarily by preventing sperm from reaching and fertilizing eggs. According to Planned Parenthood, it's more than 99% effective at preventing pregnancy and can last for up to 10-12 years depending on the specific type.

Hey there! Copper T (also known as an IUD or intrauterine device) is inserted into the uterus by a healthcare professional. It's placed through the cervix during a quick office procedure. The copper wire wrapped around the T-shaped device works by releasing copper ions that create an environment that's not conducive for sperm survival, preventing fertilization. It's one of the most effective long-term birth control methods out there!
